IF your in areas where the DOT enforces the width laws then hauling bales side by side gets to be fun real fast. Your talking about 4 foot wide and 5 foot tall. So if you place them right your under 8 foot wide. We use 5x6 bales so side by side your over width. IF the trailer has a license plate on it you will need to have over width permits for it in Iowa. One for the state highways, one for each county your hauling in, one for each municipality you travel through. Just because your a farmer hauling your own hay does not get you a free pass if it is a licensed trailer. Make it over width and put an SMV on it while pulling it under 25 MPH and your fine.
The last 5 years or so the Iowa DOT enforcement has cracked down people hauling hay on the public roads. It comes from stupid people doing stupid things. Double stacking without any tie downs driving 50-60 MPH on a gravel road. That will get you a ticket now.
So this is making the single wide bale trailers be pretty popular around here right now. Fast unloading and legally able to travel on public roads without a fist full of permits.
