Building In Line, Self Dumping Bale Trailer

Building a in line bale trailer in my Ag class. Does anyone know where I can find plans or have any tips? Going to be a 36' gooseneck, with two 7000lb axles. Anything could help, thank you.

ind one that works well, can be at sales lot or one in use, then measure & photograph well. Draw up plans from that.
 
Back around 1979 or 80,a guy out east of town had quite a bale handler built. He had one of the first round balers around here. He got his a year or two before I got mine. He had a New Holland bale wagon that loaded itself and unloaded in a stack,for square bales. His round bale trailer worked the same way. Those were 5x5 round bales back then.
His had an arm on it that would tip the bales up on the trailer and move them back so he had three bales end to end. Then he'd back it in the barn and it would tip up on end and stack the bales three high on end in the barn.
He must have traded that thing off to one of the local IH dealers at some point. When they went out of business and had an auction twenty years or so ago,that unit sat out back on their lot. All the cylinder rams were rusted and she was a sorry looking sight by that time.
 
JMOR has the right advice. Just make sure you use steel parts that are as large at the pattern. If you need to substitute members, Google the S (Section Modulus in3) for the original and what you want to use to make sure the substitute is the same or larger.
 
google "Prairie Farm Report"...show covering western Canada, MT, ND, etc. If you get into their archives from the 90s you can find truck mounted units with side lift arms that load round bales. Concept would be easy to copy for a towed unit.
 
Most in-line loaders have a platform at an angle, chain in the floor, that loads on the front corner, unloads off the back.
