John Deere 3025D with Round Bales

An owner-operator puts a John Deere 3025D to a practical test: moving four-by-four round bales using bucket forks (no bale spear) and a rear three-point attachment across two fields. He measures lift height (81.25 inches) and comments on stability, then ties in a prior wheel-spacer mod as a factor in making it work. Best for compact-tractor shoppers wondering whether a 25-hp sub-compact can handle light hay-moving duties.
