They Converted Old School Bus Into Bale Hauler SCHOOLBUS CONVERSIONS Schoolbus Conversions 25-1-36 We converted an old 1985 Ford F-600 school bus into a low-cost bale hauler. The modified bus pulls a 36-ft. trailer that can haul up to 18 big round bales made by a Case-IH 8465 baler.
We bought the bus for $900. We cut the body off behind the first row of seats, leaving one seat behind the driver's seat. On the other side, we made a work bench and bolted a 6-in. vise onto it. A six-drawer toolbox is bolted to the bottom side of the bench. We cut off the last two feet of the bus and, with the help of a couple of neighbors, moved this 2-ft. section forward and then welded it onto the back of the front section. We bolted a steel plate on back for pulling a fifth wheel trailer and wired it for lights. We also painted the bus Case-IH red and added two white strips.
