It can't be overloaded, the front wheels are still touching the ground.

LOL And I complain about baling and hauling hay now! That was back in the "good ole days" when they just stacked hay and worked their butts off. Based on my guestimation, I'd say that about the equivalent of 6 or 8 round bales. A big load, but not overwhelming. Awesome picture. I'm gonna add it to my wallpaper collection.

That is a big load, especially for that truck. It makes mine look down right wimpy...
