| Pimples here the question I'm asking is in reference to whether or not a d-17 can lift a 4x whether or not a d-17 can lift a 4x5 round bale approximately 800 lb that is situated right against the lift arms so as close to the tractor as it can be of course with a bale spear and two points below to assist |

No weight on the front, I'm sure it's capable but I'm wondering what the maximum lift capacity is? |

I would think a D17 could lift 1000 pounds if the load is kept close to the hitch point. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| The lifting potential is directly related to how healthy your pump is !! A very healthy pump should unload at 3700 psi. An old dirty and worn pump might be as low as 2500 psi, about 30% less. The internal lift arm cylinder is smaller in diameter than a series 3 tractor, again affecting lifting power. A diesel chassis has more front end weight than a gasser. A wide front has more weight on the nose than a NFront end. |

| Just adding to what has been said. With a working pump there should be no issue. Your tractor will most likely be a little light on the front and would benefit with a few weights. Our first round bale moving tractor was a series 4 with wide front and a rear mover. Just want to point out how dangerous those rear movers are in the dark. My father backed over a black calf that was in the feeder when setting a bale in, not long after we heard of a boy that was killed the same way. Father was one of our customers, it was a tough time. We switched to a front end loader around 1980 after those accidents. |

| Yes it can .I can pick up 5x5 bales easily at 1200 lbs but it has a front end loader out front for weight.Usually carry 1 in front and 1 behind. |

It worked perfectly! Got them all moved in short time up on dry hill in pasture. It couldn't have worked any better, not pretty but from a used pile of parts and some welding/ fabrication it all worked out nicely. Thanks fellas

I can use it as pictured or remove spear and use as a pallet lift, remove forks and add a ball in middle to go get firewood with my trailer in our back woods, also built a pig pole with lifting eye that's adjustable along the length of pole that I welded up from square stock and it attaches to top link

Great job on the bale mover,I like how you made it. I knew the D17 would work, my neighbor moves them with a D10, I know much smaller tractor, but it works fine for him. Thanks for the pictures, enjoyed them. ------------- 1948 C, 1953 CA, 1948 WD, 1961 D-17 Series 2 Diesel, 1939 WC, 1957 D14 |

| I feel like the pictures were owed to everybody who gave me insight on how to build this with ideas, I've been thinking and gathering parts for a long while to do this one! |
