I've been using smaller utility tractors on a hay farm for about 7 years now. I'm glad to hear you guys call out how important it is that flat or mostly ideal conditions are critical. Even though these modern small tractors can lift this kind of weight, they are very dangerous on any kind of a slope. They just lack the wheel base and the weight. Proceed with caution

Thanks guys I actually work for a kioti dealer in west Texas so now I can tell my customers more about these kind of tractors

As an owner of a JD 2025R, I am amazed that the CK2510 handled those round bales. I can not lift a round bale in the 2025R I had to push it along with the bucket. Very impressed future Kioti owner.-

Honestly. That is absolutely impressive that either of the smaller tractors lifted them. That said I dont know about doing that on a regular basis. I'm no expert but you could hear them straining doing it.

Great video, answers a lot of questions. Thanks for making it.

Impressive on all 3 tractors

That little unit still impressed me.

Awesome presentation men!

Great video guys. I have a DK4510 and it has been great at 60 hours.

I was pretty sure the CK2610 would lift the 4X5 bales. I didn't think it would lift the 6X6 bales. That is a lot of weight 6' out in front of those pins. Impressive.

I love my DK40SE(slightly heavier than the DK5010) and my buddy and I do some hay in 4x5 hardcores and it has no issue moving them around and loading them. Biggest issue is seeing over the bale at the front to dodge the odd hole in the field. The 6x6's in the video are softcore and probably not much heavier than the hardcore 4x5's, but they still stick out farther so its still a good sized lift. The only issue with the my tractor and the DK5010 is how high they can stack bales in the barn. 3 high is it for 4x5's, where a bigger tractor does 4 high. They can still load 2 high on an equipment trailer or smaller haywagon that we use to load in the field.

Thanks for the demo ... been scouring thru KZfaq looking for such. Have a MF35 with bucket and a Lg back counter wt. It barely handles 3x3x8 grass hay bales to the height of 4 stacks. Been think'in need to get something with a bit more POWER, a cab, and make sure it can stack the bales. Been trying to decide which would do the things around the 80 ranch here in Wyoming that would do more than the MF35 and JD630 combined. Now think'in the NX5010 or NX5510 Hydro types might the right size. But also leaning to the DK6010SE Hydro. Just need to get with a local dealer and give them the bucket list of duties I want accomplished and see what they recommend. Again .... thanks for the demo.

I really like your videos! 😎 Cool! :)

Impressed by the little one.

I've moved some 6×6 bales with my DK45. I did have a ballast but unloaded them just as easily as Matt was moving them around. I'll always want more tractor, but the DK series has been great.

Whats the attachment called the one that goes on the back

GMBN baby! Doddy would approve!

nice, but what bale weights? this says minimal to what these tractors can do, do they \ave any tire ballast? would of been good to see a loader lift only

You can also run a 4X5 baler with a much smaller tractor, probably 60 or 70 hp, so your whole operation would be more economical.

Now that's how you do a "what is this tractor about to do" video

Yes

I'm interested in getting a Kioti tractor within the next year and moving hay bales will be one of the chores. Were any of these tractors loaded with Rimguard in back tires? Thanks and have really enjoyed a lot of your videos so far.

Must be doing something right. Number 1 dealer in America

Tractors with missing parts?

Noway you could load bails on a truck with out the Bail on the back to counter balance the loader that far out.

Thank you for putting this video together. I have a CK2610 TLB. I noticed the backhoe will engage the pressure relief valve when working it but the fel doesn't engage a pressure relief valve when it encounters weight it can't handle. It just stops. Is that normal or is the fel not being provided full hydraulic power? Thanks!

Could you do some walk throughs of cab tractors in the 30-50HP range? and explain what they capable of in applications? I'm seriously considering driving to buy one from Alabama. I just bought 57 acres. will need to mow about 20 of that, do some gravel road maintenance, possibly build some new trails through some planted pines, prepare food plots, etc. Thanks for your help! Also could you go through some of the packages that you offer?

There is no such thing as a 6x6 round bale. Those are 5x6. No one makes a 6x6 baler.

I think the RK has 5-600 lbs more at the bucket

Kioti ck2610 vs mahindra 1626?

Picking them up is one thing, but your front axle will be needing repair a lot. Even just moving these bales occasionally will damage your tractor.

those are soft core 5x6 bales. try a high density 5x6 lol

6x6 bales?????? never heard of that size,only been farming for 40 years. Size is irrelevant only weight is.

The actual video starts at 3:15.

Moving large round bales with a small chassis tractor is just plain unsafe and borderline reckless. I understand your comparison here but moving oversized bulky bales with compact tractors is dangerous. You should call it out for what it is, unsafe, and not attempt it. I hope your liability insurance is adequate.

You guys are not safe .I can see you have little experience in moving round bales .made me nervous watching you
