Cheap Bale Trailer Made From Old Truck Frame BALE HANDLING Bale Handling (31B) 26-5-27
If you need an inexpensive round bale trailer you can pull behind a pickup, you might want to take a look at the simple trailer built by Gordon Marshalek.
Marshalek, of Raymond, Nebraska, stripped the engine, transmission, cab, bed, and rear end off the frame of a 1972 F-600 Ford straight truck. He removed the front steering axle and reattached it about 6 ft. from the back of the frame. Then he welded the tie rods solid so the front wheels wouldn't swivel.
He pulled the I-beams together at the front of the truck frame to make a tongue and welded on a ball hitch to fit the receiver hitch of his pickup.
To make a better cradle for the bales to sit on, he fastened two lengths of 6-in. channel iron alongside the truck frame channel irons. The resulting single axle trailer, which cost less than $200 to make from salvage parts, will hold six bales. Marshalek figures it only took five or six hours to make.
