Just finished a hay trailer for local farmer. Has a need to be able to carry 3 rolls of hay about 10 miles to feed. Does'nt want to leave tractor/hay at location. Plans to pull the trailer with 3/4 ton pick-up. Link to pictures will show the resulting trailer. Scroll down the list - the trailer pictures start at #3. So what do ya'll think? WH

the hay trailer looks very thought out and functional,but that smoker now that looks like a work of art! all it kneeds is a brisket or some babyback ribs to make it museum worthy

buyer tried it after the pics were made. no problem with bales falling away from trailer. he said that they stood on end and that is what he wanted. i guess if a person wanted they could raise the cradles to where they would stand up to 90degrees when dumped. i was trying to find that happy medium center where they would dump but not be so tall as to be top heavy. as to the trailer tipping when unloading, the cradles are centered to right side (unloading side) of trailer. each cradle releases seperately. the main frame is 8X8X3/16 tubing so there should be no problem whipping. hope i anwered all questions. thanks for asking.

Have you tried it yet? I like the idea and design but am a little skeptical about one thing. It seems that the cradles don't tip far enough for to insure that the bales fall away from the trailer. It looks to me like they would tip but continue to rest on the cradle and it would be hard to get away from them. If I'm wrong, I appologize. Have seem a similar idea. This trailer will hold about 4 - 5 bales in long cradles down both sides of the trailer. When 'dumped' they roll out and away from the trailer.

What's to keep the trailer from tipping when he starts releasing the latches?

Just looking at the thumbnails...

Is the main section of the trailer a single piece of tubing ? I'd be a bit worried about it getting 'whippy'..

I guess one way or another you'll find out !

Let us know how it works out.

What size bales will he be hauling? What provisions are made to allow the dumping of a bale that is set too far to one side especially the side that goes up? I was unable to view the large images only the thumbnails so maybe the answers are there and I just couldn't see them.

will carry 5x5 bales. bales set "inside" the cradles so they will be centered in correct postion when loaded.

I believe I may have seen it in the 'Farm Show' magazine that comes out several times a year.
Nice work on the stuff you have shown here and in the past.
