The video shows strap-wrapping oversized bales, working in tight quarters with kids and dogs nearby, a cautionary moment when the forks punctured a bale, and stacking two bales to push them inside a garage. Light on specs but good for seeing practical fork work under unplanned conditions.
Tony's Tractor Adventure Homestead is an owner-operator channel focused on homestead projects, so expect candid, hands-on perspective rather than a sales or manufacturer angle.
The video states the LS MT40 is rated at about 2,400 pounds lifting capacity, which gave the operator confidence to lift the hay bales.
The forks punctured the bale and the string started breaking as the forks went in further, so the operator set it down and scrapped the attempt.
The bales were actually bundles of individual square bales wrapped with cord, and they worried that picking them up directly would cause them to fall apart.
