Compact Tractor VS Hay Bale! Watch Before Buying

This video answers one specific question: can a John Deere 4044M-frame compact tractor lift large round bales, including frozen, snow-covered ones in single-digit temperatures? The owner runs a real test moving a 5.5-foot bale across the yard with a 400E loader, fluid-filled tires, and a brush hog for rear ballast, then gives an honest verdict, fine on level ground, not recommended for hilly, muddy, or frequent heavy-duty bale hauling.

An owner-operator testing his own tractor on his own property in real winter conditions, sharing candid pros and limitations rather than a sales pitch.
