Most Ms have a "belly pump," officially known as the "transmission-driven LiftAll." It is a basic one-way hydraulic system that only makes pressure when your foot is off the clutch pedal.
The pump is of course located in the belly of the tractor. There is a lever sticking out the right side of the tractor's belly, and a rod running up to the platform. There are also pipe elbows sticking out each side of the tractor's "waist", possibly capped off, possibly with hydraulic couplers attached. Pull the lever for pressure up. Push the lever forward for gravity down.
Hookup for basic lift is simple. Bolt the hitch to the tractor. Run a hose from the bottom port of each cylinder up to the front hydraulic connection on each side of the tractor.
Down pressure really isn't needed for moving round bales. It's main advantage is the hitch goes down quicker when there is nothing attached. The bale spear will be plenty of weight to make the hitch drop quickly. You will need a 2-way valve and some more hoses to set up for down pressure.
