Loader Corn bags

[hd5]

My nephew works for a crop farmer and I asked him to get me some bulk corn. He said the bags held about 2000 pounds. I told him to try to keep them around 1500 pounds each.

He forgot to tell the owner and he filled them up.
Am I going to be able to handle them with my XR4046? I bought Ansung 4000# forks.
Would it be better to set them on pallets or pick them up by the straps?

I have not had time to put fluid in the tires yet. So I guess a bale of hay?

Try the straps slid back as far as possible on the forks.

If it won't quite lift it, take the forks off and chain the straps to the quick attach plate.

A hay bale on the 3 point would help.

Let us know how it does.

Eddie the how much is somewhere around 4.00 a bushel, and the what for is cow feed.
I am paying about 8.00 for a fifty pound bag of rolled corn. A bushel of corn is 56 pounds.

They first thing most folks think is that corn passes straight thru a cow without being digested, but actually they are able to get about 96% of what they would if it was cracked.
Dad always told me it was a waste to feed whole corn. Had to show him a couple of feed studies to try to change his mind. Not sure I did
