The host is genuinely unsure it will work, so the result carries some honest weight. He also mentions the upcoming H24 Plus and its higher-capacity self-leveling loader for comparison. Best for shoppers weighing whether the base H24 can handle bale work.

Yes. The host was surprised the front end loader lifted a roughly 900-pound bale, even though the rated lift capacity is around 980 pounds on the non-self-leveling loader.
Yes, easily. The rear lift capacity is much higher than the front, so the rear bale spear lifted the bale without issue, as expected.
The upcoming H24 Plus has a mechanical self-leveling loader that raises lift capacity to 1300 pounds, so it should handle bales without any problem.
