I have to attribute that to the operator - MY WIFE. She made almost 1,300 square bales and over 100 round bales in the last 3 days. I shuttled wagons back and forth to the unloading crew and loaded and unloaded the "train". Nice to have all of our first cutting done by single-digits July in upstate NY. Frees up a lot of summer.
We bale with state of the art air-conditioned Deere 6420's, but I spread manure every night with an old Oliver 770.

....and some use office chairs and/or laptops to spread it via the WORLDWIDEWEB.... we can thank Mr. Gore for creating that, and spreading the first load.
How about some tie downs on that load? And a headache rack for the truck? A once of safety practice is not a bad thing. S___ happens.
Ever seen a compact that head on into a round bale that a shortcutting farmer dropped in the middle of the road?

Don't worry - that's a farm road only configuration. Everything gets strapped down if I need to go down a public road (and I would drop the last 2 wagons also)
There is one strap on there - across the front of the bales on the truck to protect me of they try to shift forward.

Clean your lens. Also, this is where a dropside bed comes in handy.

I wish it was a dropside. As far as the lens - hard to keep stuff clean down on the farm. Those photos were taken with a Blackberry in and Otterbox case - so that's two dirty lenses it's looking through - lucky it can see at all.

Install a sneeze guard over the trailers and you'll have a "all you can eat buffet" for horses.

There's still room for one more bale on the tongue!
Awesome idea on the hitch. That alone put me a step closer to buying my first big green truck.

I agree with everyone else on the hitch idea. Wonder if you could use a medium towbar some how to do the same thing.

I would like to see this work with a 5th wheel application. I have been trying to figure out a way to use my Duce to haul this trailer around.
Ofcourse the duce is going to be tall and have the 1600 R20s on it. Ill post photo of the trailer. BTW Its ugly trailer but it pulls great
and its 38ft long.
Did find a application to make the 5th wheel to a goose neck.

I would think you could make a hitch the same as the one in the "hay train". Only thing different you'd have to do is to make the hitch accept the kingpin instead of a ball. You may also have to extend it out a little farther for clearance issues with the wide neck.

Scout that looks like a heck of an idea and some mighty fine craftsmanship not only on the plan but the execution look very nice! Thanks you for taking the time to post this that sure looks like a way I could get all my ducks covered in one felled swoop!!
Thanks again!

Nice & Neat!! What do the bales set on in the middle of the truck bed to keep them level?

I’d bet small square bales on edge...
