Looking to buy a fuel efficient loader tractor big enough to feed round bales from the loader in winter mud. Have a 2940 that's having hydraulic issues. Taking to mechanic to fix and possibly sell unless he thinks that the issues will actually be fixed. Just looking for opinions on a good replacement. Will be doing no tillage but maybe some haying with the tractor as well. Have a 7 foot pull type (and 9 foot 3 point) sickle mower and bar rake. Also have a 605C Vermeer baler that would be nice to be able to use this as a back up baler tractor.

I thought how do you load horses with a tractor.

JD 5E series
Kubota M 60 series
New Holland Workmaster (own a 60 myself)
LS XU
Kioti RX series
Mahindra 45 series

Not sure if you were looking at used or new but this is where I would start with any of those brands. I move and stack 4x5 round bales that vary from 900-1200 lbs according to which of the two guys I buy from with my Workmaster and with filled rear tires I have no issues at all. You did not mention the size bales, bigger bales may change what I suggested.
