    I have a NewHolland Ls170. Great machine.
    Lift capacity is 800kgs. And that's it. They are dangerous if you over load them.
    It will comfortably move round bales around, no problem. I have a 5 ft shear grab which is too much for it. I use tractor and loader for this.
    I use it to lift Fert bags into fert spreader.
    I thInk every dairy farm should have one. In winter they are great for alot of jobs, and can go anywhere. if a cow goes down in a cubicle , it is able to lift her out, which is very handy at 2 in the morning when you are there on your own.
    During the winter it's main jobs are , cleaning calf sheds , pushing in silage, feeding meal, scraping. It does away with ALOT of the hard physical work.
    Wouldn't be without one.

    ( just been using mine to stack lorry tyres up the side of the silage pit, wouldn't be able to do it with tractor. )
