    That looks like it could use a couple straps.

    Are those two sideways facing stacks I see with no securement?

    Is that why you want a daycab? So you can load onto the rails

    I designed a glider to do just that. Come to find out ct doesn't allow that setup. "Unpermitable" according to the dmv guy that finally got back to me. I can have a deck on there, just can't load it. Ghey!

    I'm not sure what it weighs bit I'm easily under gross according to my air gauges.

    On the west coast you don't have to secure the sideways facing bales. They won't slide side to side and their forward and rearward facing movement is restricted

    Everytime I've been loaded with hay in the midwest the farmer had me lock down the front bails when I thought he couldnt fit any more on. He then took his tractor around back and pushed up the rear bails and made room for another stack.

    I just have this guy put the sideways bales on the back. Easier to load and unload with a skid steer that way.
