See some with tandem rear axles, can pile 250+ heavy small squares on it.
Some are on 1930s car home built running gears, 75 small bales fall off the edges and make the frame sag.
I like a 7.5 foot wide by 16 foot long rack that I could pack 100 bales on, 120 if I felt ambitious or in light straw. A 5 ton gear probably was about right? Just for holding up to the bouncing over the years.
A much wider rack was hard to fit in places. A longer rack was too hard to keep up with the baler stacking behind the baler. It gets to be a long walk. As well as difficult to maneuver.
A narrower rack you cant fit 2 wide with one lengthwise down the middle. Shorter and it gets to be more time hooking and traveling than actual baling.
But, depends on your needs. With bale accumulators I can see the advantage of the 12 ton 250+ bale racks for sure!
