Transporting Round Bales Safely

Follow the instructions in Operating the Round Bale Fork or Operating the Grapple section of this manual. Also, read the decals attached to both the loader and the round bale fork.

To help prevent personal injury or accident caused from a bale falling off the fork, carry the bale low and slightly rolled back. Travel slowly over rough ground.

DO NOT handle bales that exceed bale weight of 450 kg (1000 lb).

When handling round bales on a slope, always approach the bale with the tractor facing uphill.

To help prevent personal injury because of lack of visibility, do not handle bales that exceed a diameter of 1372 mm (54 in.). Carry the bale low.
