Your truck looks sweet! but DAMN those rear tires stick out alot! Do u pull much with your truck? If so, can u feel a difference with a taller sidewall tire?

I pull quite a bit with mine and havent had any problems. Mine have alot of gap between them. I don't know what kind of bales ur haulin but 30 on a 30ft trailer is a little much huh? I can' get 30 on a 40 and thats double stacked on top with one on the neck and one turned sideways on the back

You got me thinking.....12 on bottom, 10 on next row, and 5 on top. So....thats,.....27. I just haul approx 2 miles. from one farm to the our farm next door. We bale approx 400 round bales per year. I will take pictures this hay season. My trailer is a Moritz 30' goose neck tri axle.

Oh, they are approx 800 lb bales so thats approx 21,600 lbs + 10+ ton + the trailer.

Our bales are 4x6 rolls that weigh 1200-1800 depending on how tight we roll them. I can fit 24 on the 40' and its a load.

Btw, I've only pulled that load twice trying to get hay out of the bottom before a rain. Thats why i have no pics. I imagine I will load one up just to take the pic. There was only about enough space to slide a dime under the bumpstop.

I have yet to regret the change in tires. That being said I run the tires at full pressure and have only noticed how stable the rig feels with a load in it or behind it. I guess that the heaviest thing I tow is my race trailer with the off road rig in it. I guess it weighs about 12,000 lbs. and we are looking for a larger one. I found a company that will custom build a goose neck trailer for my dually that will be about 40 feet long and will have enough room for two off road vehicles. It will be rated for 21,000 lbs but, I don't think that we will have more than 17,000 lbs total, trailer and both off road rigs.
