Gcreek got me started, what do y'all use to yard your bale's with. i don't make too many round bales, so usually just use an old home built recycled truck frame wagon but i'm sure there are lot's of various combination's of equipment out there to git-r-done. let's see some pic's :lol:

Years back we used a "skid", two 35 foot logs with a grader blade crossmember at each end. A 1 inch cable made the tongue. The logs were spaced so the tractor tires could straddle them and you loaded from either end. As long as the operator avoided rocks they would last 3 or 4 summers.

There are still a few around today.

The close stuff I've got 2, 20 all steel bales racks 8 bales each plus one on the loader. The farther bales I haul with a gooseneck and a pickup 12 at a time.Most of my hay is under 4 miles the farthest is 9 1/2 miles all blacktop.

We run a buffalo 1/4 turn round bale mover to get bales off with. Hauls 8 bales at a time once you get on it yoy can motor right along and get them off in a hurry. Saves needing two people with a truck and tractor. We do use our kw with a 53 ft drop deck to haul off with some times .

breaking in the new clutch :wink: :lol:

it seem's that we're pulling biger loads with one ton's than we used to pull with single axle tractor's. we have the power but the rest of the drive train isn't near as big as it need's to be. along with brakes. just my opinion

Brakes (You don't need no stinking Brakes)

This rig does the trick here. Takes all the work out of moving bales. We were done moving bales 10 days after we finished baling. We quite often go move several loads in the morning before the hay is ready to bale, so tend not to get too far behind when things are going right.

Have seen quite a few like yours around here silver. Does yours leave the two rows a little bit a part or do they touch when you unload? Most I have seen around here the two rows touch in the middle leaving a little more spoiled spot from moisture.

There is just a little space between, at least until they settle down and become less than round :?
We haven't found spoiling to be an issue here, could be because the most of the moisture the bales see is in solid form for most of the year :shock:

stack mine 3 high , would hate to have to build stackyard fence if they were only set out in rows! :shock:

We looked at it the other way. We figured it better to build the stack yards fence bigger once than all the monkeying around for years to come stacking bales and wearing out loaders :shock: :D

....and upon further consideration, I imagine if you don't stack your bales 3 high you likely won't find them during many of your winters. :lol: :p
