Yup, the days of iron men and wooden ships.just finished watching the same thing on rfdtv only pulled by horses. seems like they grew men back then.
50lb bails are nothing these days, there getting to be about 110-120lbs on average these daysthat is a happening forklift! I can tell you I had to load hay by the 50 pound bails and it was on a daily basis until the season was over or we go the field bailed and bucked!
we loaded a 100 acre field, by hand in a day once, never again tho...yeah I may be showing my age, that was 25 years ago. and we bailed alfalfa and let me tell ya it was a real bugger to load on our low bow eight high after a night drinking and that hot summer sun!:Banghead

Thoes pics were taken in Cali, by a guy named Dean Doctor. I am from cali but now live in NJ. The cali guys use the two trailers for easy unloading. Most of there customers live down narow dirt raods and its easyer pulling one short trailer than one long trailer.Tonka, Where are those photos from? I see you are from New Jersey, but they look like the type of California forklifts shown in some of the photos here in the ag section. Does this one have 2 steering wheels so you can drive in either direction? Who makes these forklifts?
Also, I can't see much of the trailer is it a pup or a spread axle. I've seen some of the Calif guys have 2 pups with single axle tractors for hauling hay, but I don't know why they use that setup.
Nice rigs for sure.:usa
ahh a bale waggoni never understood why they spend money on a forklift out there when a tractor does the same thing....we just bought a kicker baler this past winter so our days of picking them out of the field are over :drinkup builds good muscle though
check out all there trucksWow, nice truck. :drinkup
Are those what you'd call "hay stacks"?

basicly there a truck, with 2 wheels and can drive on the highwayMe thinks these fork lifts are cabable of doing highway speeds, there was some pics somewhere here of the interior of the cab with a second seat and driver's wheel, they are just small trucks.
