Hi Purdue, my brother has a bank barn like yours but it was built in 1920s. It has two ramps and hay mows on either side of the ramps. The flooring in were the ramps are is 4" pine planks. The floor where the hay mows are is only 1" boarding. My brother goes in there with his IH 495 with 2250 front end loader and round bales. He piles the round bales as high as the loader will lift. You should check the beams at the foundation side were the ramps are build against the barn. Typically rain water does not drain away properly and the water seeps into the ends of the beams and rots them at the foundation end.
