540M Loader Round Bale Handling Capacities

CAUTION: Prevent bodily injury or death. If the attachment is dumped below 0° horizontal, bales that exceed the rollback capacity rating can cause the relief valve to open and the loader to dump.

NOTE: Rollback values are the minimum calculated value between fully dumped to a level bucket with the loader raised.

Specifications are based on a 540M self-leveling loader installed on a 5115M tractor.
