The truck and trailer had no problem hauling all of the bales. There was probably 20k lbs behind the pickup, including the trailer. We hooked up an old 16' trailer to dad's old '85 F250 that would only hold 5 bales, I felt safer in my truck, and thought it pulled a lot easier.

What is that tractor in the picture?
I have a 1971 IH 856

I've gotten 13 bales on our trailer, but the back two were sitting on the ramps, and had to be strapped down to keep them on. It was easiest to just throw a few on, head down the road and yank them off.

I don't know what year, need to run the serial number, but it's a 560 diesel with a factory wide front. Tractor is in good shape, but motor needs an overhaul.
It goes along with the 756, 826 and 1066 we have.
