Monkey and a football is how most everything I get into ends up at one point or another!
Was it really difficult to get them off the trailer that way?
No, but it roughed them up pretty good. I was hauling them to a group of cows 20 miles or so from home that I had used up all of the stored hay at that area. 5x4 rolls, 4 on the truck (2 flat and 2 in the arms), and 5 or 6 on the low deck trailer. Only did it a handful of times and fed the hay as soon as it came off trailer, wouldn't want to store hay after it had been handled in that manner. Didn't have a tractor at the unload location and didn't want to fool with taking one up there for some reason or another. Worked in a pinch, but can't say I'd do it on purpose again.
You can get pretty much anything to work with enough time and patience, but I'm usually short on both.
