[QUOTE="TominTX, post: 1747828, member: 28120"] I'm in a similar situation. I have a Massey 245 at home, and a Kubota 8540 with a loader out at our bigger place (about 30 miles away). I have a 26 ft equipment trailer, but if I load the trailer with hay on one place, and haul it to the other, I have no way to haul the bigger loader tractor to get the hay off the trailer. I've used the smaller tractor to pull it off with a tow strap, I've even backed up on a slope and slammed on the brakes to roll a few bales off, then use the smaller tractor with the 3 point spear to move them around. You gotta do what you gotta do... Normally I try to buy my hay from someone close to each place and work out cheap delivery with them. But this year, with costs being what they are, I worked out a deal with a neighbor to go halves on inputs and split his hay. That means hauling 150-200 bales 30 miles over to the other place. Way more than I want to try to roll off a trailer. Another tractor isn't in the cards right now... I'm keeping a close eye on the auction sites for a self unloader. [/QUOTE]
