F10 Loaders Allen ?

They were designed back in the days when farmers stacked their hay and made huge stacks of loose hay. Mostly used out here on the prairie.

They lift a whale of a lot of weight and they will lift it very high. Since I grew up on the darned things, anything else seems like a toy.

No, they aren't clumsy at all; after you accept the fact that the tractor lives inside the loader. :>)

Will those loaders lift a big round bale if so are they making a comeback in popularity?

They play with big round bales. If I remember right, their capacity is right at 4,000 lbs.

Oh, doubt if they'll ever make any kind of a comeback. They are just too darned inconvenient for folks to mount on and off the tractor and people just don't need that height anymore.

The F-10 loader sorta ties up the tractor. We never had an F-10 on a tractor with power steering and only one of the tractors had ipto.
We used ours several times a week almost year round. Handling loose hay and loading cowpotty.
