Can you stack on your pickup bed. Seen a guy hauling a load of small squares stacked to the sky. Looked to be 6 to 7 layers. I helped my brother haul in straw bales a few years ago with an old 3/4 ton Chevy truck. Stacked 50 on the truck and 100 on the wagon it was pulling. Wish I had took a picture as the truck is long gone now. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

My standard load is 56. I can do more, but 56 goes down the road nicely, I've got the tie down straps the right length to fit it, relatively stable on curves and bumps etc. Now a 100 on your wagon? That's pretty lame! Hahaha

I deliver 20 at a time to a neighbor and that's pretty easy to do in a standard 6ft bed ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

I never hauled any with a truck cept to get 8 bales from the neighbor once a year. I know we have had 120 or more on a 14 foot hayrack many times, straw anyway. It was always lighter than good hay, so you could throw it higher. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

I have a 20' trailer and a full size truck. 200 bales will stack out just right, between the two. |

I haul around 20 on my Toyota Tacoma. An old neighbor used to load 90 on his 3/4 ton Ford pickup each morning to feed in a couple different pastures, trucks lasted 3 or 4 years before he wrecked them. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

| Years ago had some "horsey" people come to get hay from my dad driving a Chevette. I think they could get 15 bales in one trip. Car was kind of "ass dragin'" when they left but only had to drive about 3 miles to get home. |

8 ft. box: 4 on the cut edge lengthwise to the box, gets it almost as high as the edge of the box.Then 4 on the string side (and all the rest of the stack on the string side) across the box, overhanging the side of the box a tad. More important to be wide enough than touch in the center. Then 4 lengthwise stacked tight together. Then 4 crosswise meeting snugly in the middle this time instead of worrying about width. Then 3 lengthwise on top of that. That's 19 per section, x 3 sections = 57, but there's only 3 between the wheel wells, so 56 total. I'm hauling roughly 2500 pounds at that point, and a little over 2 tiers are above the cab. 1/2 of a stack thereabouts is resting on the tailgate. It's a decent load. I've heard of the legendary 103 bale load before, but like sasquatch, I've never seen it and have a hard time getting a visual.
I haul about 1500 bales a year to various customers, and often during the loading process I try to visualize 4 tiers taller, 6 tiers higher than the cab roof, going down the road, 2 1/2 tons of payload at least, and just can't quite visualize it!!! I know I couldn't make it out my driveway as the trees would scrape off half the load. |

One of the bigger over loads on a small truck I ever saw was 25 or so 3 wire bales on a 80's Toyota. He had a system of making a v by starting 2 wide with them up on sides of the box. Said he did every time he needed hay for his horse or 3. Never put a rope on it said they never fell off. Back then never made a bale less than 110 pounds some pushing 140. I don't remember how those were as it was a clean the barn out sale. Son puts as many as 15 of the 110 # on a Ford Ranger to supply a niegbhor a mile or 2 away. Turned about 350,000 miles and just put a new engine in it.

| A friend of mine and his brother used to load over 100 bales on an old International Pickup. There Dad always bought a lot of hay for their cows and the boys would put 2 loads on one to save a trip so they could get done early. Their Dad did not care as long as the hay got hauled! I used to haul 56 bales as I did not like to reload! Now I am all Round Bales as I have a one man operation! |

Had a girl come and she put 5 in her Toyota corolla. Thought that was funny. Then I used to have a cutie come get hay and would get like 40 in a dully with toolbox and box full of junk. But was stacked nice so it wouldn't fall off Back before I was injured a friend of mine was asking what I was doing for the day hinting that he needed help. He's not a hay guy. But was going to help his mom who had horses. So I get there and the step dad says I don't know what I'm going to do the barn is full. I went up and stacked the right way and got 3 more wagon loads in there. They were amazed lol. |
