There are 69 bales of hay in that stack. The 5th level should have 9 bales in a slightly different pattern to lock the stacks together. Back when I was 18, still living on the farm and going to the community college, I could run the hay stacker where it would take me 11 minutes to run a stack. I would drop one stack in the field then run the next stack to the barn. The guy running the stack mover could not keep up with me on what I called the stacker, the Green Monster. When I moved off the farm dad switched over to wrapped round bales.
Oooohh - dat gonna be a BITCH to reload. Grass-sod squares, right ? Heavy as - - - - !
ReplyDeleteThat's not sod. Those are square bales of hay. Still no fun to reload.
DeleteOh - okay. Time to get my eyes checked. Thanks for setting me straight anon 7:49

For that single strap to break and that load to slide all over the road. I saw it happen last summer.
Deletethat load ain't going nowhere, no straps, all hydraulic i drive a retriever truck
DeleteLooks like an International 4900. Nice truck.
ReplyDeletePop that clutch and give her the gas! I want to see that truck ride a wheel stand for 100 yards.
ReplyDeleteOnly about 3 ton of hay on that, about a third of what I put on my trailer.
