Around here that is normal. Some will even pull 2 wagons. Usaly they are not pulling 2 650 bushel wagons but sometimes. Max speed pulling those is usaly 15-20 mph. Most farmers just use a tractor though. They do it much easier and stop the load much better.

There is a HUGE difference though. The first gen was only PULLING the weight, not carrying a large part of it.

That trailer is alot heavier then 5000#, add 2500-3000# on to it. Well maybe 5000 if its not a steel trailer. In which it is.

I would say that he's closer to 45,800lbs....

Truck = 8800 at the most.
Trailer = 5000 at the most.
Load = 32000 at 1000/bale.

Forget all the competetion, that load is just daggone impressive, if not just the weight than the size. You must have had a heck of a loader on the tractor to get those rolls that high! Just got done hauling for hay for the better part of the day my trailer only has 2 7k axles but but we were loading 12 1,800# 5x6 clover rolls (and I thought I was cool hauling that) And that made me decide that I really do need a programmer/chip/tuner what have you!

I never thought I would have a 16 year old for my hero
