David,

I was just wondering, what are the dimensions of this truck? How long, how wide?

I don't know exactly which picture I posted. I've loaded a lot of trucks. Some pictures of past loads.

53' drop deck

40' straight plus a 30' pup trailer.

They are all 102" wide.

Hope this helps.

David
 

IRRC a 53' flat deck will haul 620 sq bales BUT I haven't driven an 18 wheeler load of sq bales since the 80's. I always hated looking in rear view mirror at the tarped bales as they appeared to be LEANING no matter how well they were stacked on trailer
 
The trailers are modified with cables or chains that run the length of the deck. On the drop deck, only the lower portion can be unloaded this way, the upper portion has to be hand unloaded. The cables or chains are then hooked to a hydraulic winch. The back of the trailer either lowers creating a ramp, or detachable ramps are hooked to the rear of the trailer. When you stack the trailer you put straps or chains under the hay, and wrap them around the top when finished, tying the load into one big package. Then with the winch they just push the load off the back and down the ramp. Finally just unstrap the hay stack, and hook the chains or straps to the back of the truck and pull them from under the hay. Clear as mud?

I was gonna ask the same question, yes that was clear, didnt know they could do it that way.

sounds cool i didnt know they could do it that way either, ive seen quite a few self unloading hay trucks around, but the problem was they were all laying on their sides when they unloaded
