ah, 32 4x5's at ~1,000 - 1,100 lbs a peice is 32,000 - 35,200 then plus 8,000 for the truck and 8,000 for the trailer and were lookin at 48,000 to 51,200 gross weight. I had a lot of people call me a liar for doing this, like "oh where is the straps" or "i seen a guy with a pete triple stack his load and he rolled his truck" or "those are only single rowed" I cought a lot of crap from one ole boy over on cumminsfourm. However it dosnt matter, i know what i did and thats all that counts. The DD clutch came in very handy to get it rolling and the exhaust brake was a major asset in the braking process.

Also i posted the story behind this the first time i put the pic on DTR. The short side of it was that i pulled into a field with a couple ford boys and they had their trailers double rowed on the bottom, and single rowed on the top. So i loaded my trailer 'extra heavy' and when i pulled out of the field the look on their face was priceless. Something like

and i used a John Deere 6110 cab tractor. she barely reached up to the top one

Omaha is about 30~40 minutes from Lead Hill

I live in SWMO and we don't see any 3 high loads of hay. Mainly cuz we bale em bigger. All that said that's an impressive load but I don't think I would do it daily. Good luck and keep truckin

blackdiesel

GJ, lol i wouldnt do it daily either! to many clerance issues. if i would have pulled it through town i would have taken out all the stoplights

Yea and i dont think ive ever driven a tractor that would stack them 3 high if the bales were 4x6's or 5x6's. Our big JD barely reached up there

AggieJustin

This is the heaviest. I've done that many bales a number of times before, but these were a bit on the heavy side. Enough so that the rear of the tractor we used to unload would come up when you grabbed one if you weren't careful.

40' Dove Tail, 20- 6x5 bales

blackdiesel

wow, if i had a 40 or a 44 footer i would be in business

^^^ impressive lookin

Gear Jammer

Hell you'd get 50 bales on a 40 footer!

blackdiesel

That would be nearly 40 TONS........


Anybody wanna let me borrow their 40 foot trailer??

Gear Jammer

If you've got a king pin hookup I have the trailer for you!

blackdiesel

actually just the other day i seen a dodge regular cab dually without a bed running through town. i had to do a double take because it had the king pin hook up for the big trailers. Looked like he pulled it straight off a big rig and bolted it to his frame rails.

How much does a 53' flat bed weigh?

blackdiesel

holy cow, ya would weight out OVER 100,000 lbs if you triple stacked 5x6's on a 53 foot trailer. wow.


On second thought ill just buy a pete

clutch1

law dosnt like the triple stack here in TX, a few have tried it, but with the 5x6bales it dont work so good. i even had city cops stop me cause he claimed i was overloading 2 10K axles he didnt realize i had 2 15K axles.

DODGE4X4

Yeah it works out pretty good on getting the hay from a to b. Only have 180 more to go at 234 miles one way.

Not tring to start a fight, but look at this :http://www.inlinediesel.com/trucks/3gen/15/index.html


this is 26- 4'X6' (wXh) on a 40' straight deck and that is all I can put on with out putting one on the GN

good load reguardless!

are they 6' wide??

DODGE4X4

Your not starting a fight.. They are 5' wide and 6' high, I am guessing the weight at about 1,000 per bale, the trailer has 10k dual tandem axels, the trailer itself is 8k giving me 28k total + or -. If I was only pulling it under a 100 miles I would probably put more but I go threw several towns and drive by a lot of stupid people that don't know how to drive so I figure I will play it safe.

Do you have air-bags on your truck?
