...handle a double bale lifter? Bales wilted and will be chopped by a modern wedgler baler. Loader on front so can add weight than end as required. Just wondering if backend will be up to it?, has the assistor rams etc that I believe 390's don't have.
Option to borrow a double for today to try out, obviously the thought of halving the number of trips is quite appealing!

You need 2 on the back and 1 or 2 on the loader.

I carry 2 front and back with my JD6400 and have done so with JD2850.

Just make sure you put 2 on the back first if working in steep ground.
