    wondering if anyone can help me

    i have a international 684 with a 'tanco 968' front loader
    i was going to buy a bale spike to suit the loader but my neighbour reckons it will get it tight to lift a round bale of silage and so might be money down the drain

    does anyone have a similar tractor/loader?

    ps she will lift one on the back no bother but it would make life a whole lot easier if i could handle with the front loader

    Don't have one but I'd be inclined to agree with the neighbour, a lot depends on the bales though as a wet fusion bale is probably twice as heavy as a dry welger rp12 bale.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    I stacked silage bales 3 high with a ford 46 and tanco 978 loader with out any problems. I used to stack 800 bales a year with it.

    I have an old tanco loaders spec sheet, the 968 is only rated to 700kg.

    depends on how heavy the bales are, it might cope, but you could be close to it's limits.

    should be ok. we had an international 674 with a quickie loader. Lifted Krone Round Pack bales with no problems, and wet ones too. was very hard in steering though!

    she wil lift them alrite but wil b v light on the rear with 1 on de front and also wil break your hearth bursting the stub axle bearings for support with the excess weight on front. so i wouldnt bother trying it if it was me

    I have a International 584. If you get a heavy bale it will only lift it two or three foot off the ground. Alot of pressure on the tractor to be honest, then again tou will have a few extra hp than I.
