Default Moved a little hay today.
Today I had to move the hay bales and organize them off to the side of the field. I loaded them into my truck, using the tractor, to make quicker work of it. Thought some of yall would enjoy a the pictures.

I think theses weigh around 500 pounds. Because I was simply able to sit on my tool box and push them out using my legs.

Can't believe you didn't break the cables. I'd have taken the tailgate off as I surely would have broken them both, have with less in the past.

Not if they were only 500 lbs...that is like just two bubbas sitting on the tailgate or 1.5 girlfriends of bubba.

Trailer is rated for 9900 lbs but trailer itself weighs 4k so yes it was overloaded. Hay meadow is only half a mile from the farm yard though. No problems.

Yes I have Firestone airbags
