Hey guys, how do I attach a pop up baler loader to the side of my truck?
I am almost ready to cut my oats, planning on doing so Friday, and as of right now, I am going to pick them all up, and stack them on the side of the field...
I am planning on doing it all by myself, other than mom or Casey driving my truck! I have a nice old pop up, seems to be in good working order? And I have this new truck I bought (which you guys haven't seen yet!!)
It is a 1976 GMC 6000. 3 ton truck. BIG BIG BIG truck!!! 12 foot flat bed on it, 350 gasser, 4 speed, 2 speed rearend. NICE truck! Got a score of a price on it, so, brought it home.....
Anyways, because I have no way of welding, I am thinking that I can make a 4x4 frame, and bolt it to the flat bed of the truck, then hook the pop up to it. Should be good to go huh? My question is, would the 4x4's be strong enough to tug the wagon along?
Also, in order for my loader to work right, do I need to have my bales laying strings down, or on their sides? I am guessing strings down would work better, but don't know?
Thanks! Bryce
