Will the 40 handle round bale sprear on 3 Pt.??

Nope. My uncle has a 40 standard with front weights and a standard size round bale for the horses and cows is too much for that little guy. I watched him try to pick it up and it wouldn't do it.

What size bales? A dry 4x4 bale (around 6-700 lbs) should not be a problem. A 6x6 weighing close to a ton not very well. Tom

I tried to lift 700 lbs. of lime in bags plus a pallet, so about 750 and then another 120 lbs for the forks so about 875 total. The hydraulics did not like it and really tried but couldn't get it lifted more than an inch. The front end would have been all over the place in the air as well if I had gotten it high enough to move it.
