This is the first time I've tried this, but I thought it would work. I put a bale spike on my IH B414, backed into the bale and went for the lift. The bale came up about 4 inches on the front and not much on the back. I pulled out and the spike went all the way up. Tried again, same result. I've used this tractor to pick up pretty heavy stuff, never gave me any trouble. The manual says it should be able to pick up 2500 lbs. Granted, this is a big bale, about 6-8 ft. round, but I wouldn't think that it weighs over 2500. There is a leak on the remote, an after market add, but it doesn't amount to much....or does it? Advice freely accepted, Thanks in advance. Joe
