    Looking to upgrade my tipping trailer with one that could be also be used for drawing bales for the coming season

    Would the likes of a 14 x 7’6” tipping trailer hold 6 bales in the total on the floor (3 each side) with out the use of any bale extension that sometimes comes with them.

    Yes, 14' would be plenty. I carry 6 bales as you describe on a 13', and they overhang slightly at the rear....

    I do the same and then 2 on top. Then 14 on a bale trailer with the other tractor. 22 in at a time and you don't be long shifting them.

    It would, have used a hourihane trailer and with the backdoor on and the fusion bales a little big sagged down just put on the front and back bales first and then drop the middle one down then and you wont tear the sides of the bale

    Case Farmall 115U here with a loader. Hoping to buy a double bale handler in next couple of months. Rear lift rated at 2900kg at 24". Should we have any concerns with 2 Fusion silage bales + carrier on back plus 1 fusion bale on loader?

    Any recommendations on Fleming vs Nugent or AN Other? Need one with trip to place bales on end.

    As long as theres atleast a single assistor ram on her it wont be a bother to her, ford 7810 is rated at 1800kg and with a single assistor ram she'll lift 2 fusion bales for us that would be 800kgs each roughly plus the handler youd be touching 2200kgs
