If you are going to have to stack bales you need a lot bigger tractor than the one you mention. I use a 70 HP Allis-Chalmers. We have to have a bale on the rear 3 pt. pickup and then can pick up a bale with the front spear which is attached to the loader on a ladder frame and not to the bucket (which we remove). Without the bale on the rear you tip if you life the bale on the front spear.
I also load with a skid steer but cannot go over 1200 lbs with out the danger of tipping.
