Bring a bale with you when you test drive the tractor.
And wondering why do they stay away from big bales my nieghor sells big and small cut from same field
I guess We just had good luck, we handled 20,000 5x5 silage bales with a 4020, never had a bit of trouble, bought a 6403 mid 2000's and we cant keep that thing working (electronics), the 4020 still fills in when the new one is down. I would think about anything over 50 hp would handle smaller dry rounds, I currently do 4x4 dry with a JD 790, or my Massey 135.
I think this is one of the most cost efficient ways to handle small sq on a small medium farm. The only thing that changes is the size of the grapple, I would add a small drag behind accumulator to fit the size of the grapple or vice versa. And you're off to the races!
