They just had this dicsussion on the newagtalk site, boy oh boy those inline trailers are the best and anyone who doesn't use one is a fool is what I learned there......
All in good fun. :)
I haul round bales across my farm, some are a distance down a lot of field road. Light years I end up carting one at a time on the back of the tractors with the bale forks. I don't have a loader or bobcat that will lift a 5x6 bale it's all 3pt action.
If I get a lot of hay like this year, I use the one bale spear I have on three point to load thrm on the Donahue trailer, 8 bales maybe. But I have to chase back and forth with the tractor with the spear to load and unload, so get the wife involved to drive it, while I pull the load with another tractor.
I could: buy a second 3pt spreat and go to the work of tying up 2 tractors with spears.
Buy a special spreat and trailer combo that would let me hook and drop the trailer easy, use one tractor for loading, hauling, and unloading.
Buy a real bobcat or loader tractor that could lift a big bale.
Buy a self dumping trailer like talked about.
Retire from cattle and hay and rent out my grass to others.
Some of those options cost a lot, or take a fair amount of time, or still leave me stranded needing to get two machines to the far side of the firm.
So, I continue on as I do.
If I had a little more hay, or if I had to go down the public roads a lot, those inline self dump trailers would appeal to me for sure! In my area they don't fuss much, but it can be illegal to haul 2 bales wide on a trailer as others mention, and so forth.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
