It's a short, casual clip showing actual bale handling and stacking, ending with sheep eating the hay, useful mainly for owners weighing forklift versus spear attachments.
Posted by the Vitality Farm channel, an owner sharing a hands-on clip from their own operation.
Yes, the MX5400 with a Westendorf economy three-point forklift has no issue lifting and moving bales weighing about 1,200 to 1,500 pounds.
The hay spear attachment would cost an extra 500 to 800 dollars compared to the economy forklift being used.
It lifts 3,500 pounds or more, to a height of almost seven feet, according to the owner.
