That is sweet! Sure would save some time. What did that set up cost

I did not ask . Setup belongs to a custom hauler. Just thought someone might like to see a few pics.
 
I saw that and thought to myself how cool and slick that would be to have if you had hay ground any distance from your home place... Man.. Okay, I need a simple truck with, a trailer for distillers and a trailer for hay... Okay.. The lotto is up to 160 million.. Yeah, right..
 
That looks like a good way to haul and unload hay.

Quite a few years ago, I bought a semi-load of small square bales of hay. At that time, we were still stacking our hay in loose 4-5 ton stacks (with a farmhand loader). When this live-bottom truck came with the load of small square bales, he backed up to a hay stack to keep the back bales from tipping over. Then he just drove out from under the whole load, and it came out perfectly stacked. His truck looked very similar to the one in your pictures.
 
That is a real slick deal.

At home in MT where we still put up round bales, we take the grain racks off the truck and put a skid rack on where you can haul 11 bales. Back up, push the hoist up, then take off and dump the bales. It works pretty good in the stack yards, but if you arent close enough the bales get loose and you have to to restack them.
