How do they handle turns and hills? Does it require a special baler chute? Never seen one operate, just sitting on a dealers lot. Do many bales get broken?

the main point i was trying to make on using trailers was just to get the hay up off the ground and then you can park them where ever you can until they can be unloaded the next day. even just throwing a cheap tarp over them is better than letting them get rained on in the field. also i've seen times when it was so hot that we couldn't stand the heat in the barn during the day and it was easier on us to unload at night or early the next morning. we hauled hay one 4th of july for a neighbor who lived close to a river. we'd load the one ton truck with hay, go to the river and sit in it until we cooled off and after we unloaded the hay we'd come back and sit in the water again. i mean this was with a crew that was use to hauling a thousand bales of hay every other day.

For DIY I like the baskets better than a thrower and racks. Easier to unload and the bales don't get as messed up.

You can get 120 or so bales in one, tho to go down the road 100 might be better.

The back end hinges back & they slide out the back.

Nice rig, I like mine. Have to be careful on corners - not too short - with straw or real dry hay; alfalfa pretty much will keep following fine.

i use to cut and bale hay for the public an i'm convinced that there is no better way to save hay that to have plenty of trailers that you can load the hay on and leave it loaded until you have time to unload them. if the hay is on wheels you can park them under any shed and take another trailer back for more hay. if you look at the price of a trailer vs. the price of a trailer load of hay lost because it got rained on before you could get it off the ground you'll soon discover that trailers will pay for themselves. especially over a period of time. if your selling hay to customers that can only get the hay after they get off work they apprecaite just being able to come by and pick up a trailer and go unload it. that way you don't have to leave the hay in the field and have no-shows forcing you to go back and get the hay your self out of the field also. my 4 cents worth.

Mine go down the road all summer long. As soon as I have one filled I hook up to an empty one and I have a driver in a pick-up pull the full one down the road. I have pulled mine down the road at an easy 50 mph on a smooth road when I am in a hurry, I mean I am pretty much always in a hurry when I am baling.

Having lots of trailers may not cost much but having somewhere to put them sure does. Thinking about a tarprite/bioshelter type building in the near future for hay and equipment. Biggest thing for my is if a tractor burns the roof will just burn off and might save most of the other equipment.
