That is a link to a pic of a tractor pulling a 14t baler baleing onto a flatbed trailer hooked behind it. I don't have any hoy wagon's but I do have two trailer's simaler to that, a 16' and an 18' that are so well balanced when empty you can pic up the tongue and move them around by hand. Seeing that pic got me thinking, could I do the same thing behind my JD 24t baler? Guess it'd work ok, just never seen it done. My baler doesn't have a wagon tongue on it though, guess I'll have to build one. Any advice on that?

And a 1951 JD A would not have a live PTO. A long with the balance problems of the trailer, not having a live PTO would make this double hard to do. My hats of the the guy who could pull this off and make it look easy.

I tried using a trailer once, it doesn't work very well at all. Once it's loaded you won't want to mess with trying to unhitch it. And as Evan said, the tongue will jerk the hitch all over the place when you're off the pavement and partially loaded. A four wheel wagon is much easier to use.

How tounge heavy are the trailers when loaded? You couls always use a swivel type dolly wheel under the trailer tongue. I have a wagon drawbar for a 24T baler out here if you need one.I'm in PA but depends where you are I do travel a little sometimes during winter months.

I am in east central Missouri. You probably don't travel that far? I am sure there is one to be had around here. But to save the cost of wagons I may just hook one of the small trailers behind my 1-ton Dodge dually flatbed and load the truck then the trailer, baling on the ground of course, it'll just take more man power?

Not well, is the quick answer. The trailer will teeter-totter causing alternately up and down movement of the hitch, translating to the front of the baler. I have a hay trailer myself, and I've never dared to hook it to my baler. With my hilly fields, just keeping the baler in balance with nothing in tow behind it can be tricky.

Just take 3 guys and walk to the back of your trailer. It might answer your question. I think it would get heavy on the hitch of the bailer when you get up to the front.
