It succeeds easily. Useful for B2301 owners curious about real bale-handling capacity, though it's casual, dim-lit footage rather than a detailed walkaround.

Yes, the owner says it seemed to do it very easily, even though he was nervous since the tractor is rated for 1,000 pounds but not that far out front.
Based on this test, yes, it moved a 700-750 lb round bale into a feeder without trouble despite tight clearance around the feeder.
