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.

If you get bales made by one of the old round balers...they won't be as tight as the newer ones...so they will be lighter...or find a farmer that's willing to make smaller bales you can handle...the balers will make any size you want....
I will make you some small ones but you gotta come get them...
