I am curious. How do you load the hay on that trailer. I think I see a floor chain, if so how is it powered.
Thank You

If it's like the Hesston stack mover I used to use the chains are driven by a hydraulic motor. Getting used to feathering the clutch just right to keep your rearward motion matched to the chains takes some learnin and requires some left leg stamina if the clutch is stiff.

Some are pto drive, you can change the gears or hydraulic speed to match the tractor.. Mine hauls 10 like that, but it and the chains are pretty much shot, needs new chains and a lot of rebuilding.

Worked (briefly)back in the early 80s for a fella that had a Hesston stacker and of course the Hesston Stackmover. Took of a field of hay (40 ac)about 5 miles away then spent about a week dragging those stacks home one at a time

Nice looking 5x6's. You bale? With what?

Apparently you got the wheel bearings greased and all.

You do all your work alone or do you have some "hands" to help?

I like mine way better, i can pick a load in less than 10 min without stopping or backing up.
It must've moved a million bales before i got it, It still has the original chains and they are still good.
