For those who wonder why large straw bales are stacked 5 high in the harvested fields this is the answer. The empty trailer is put upright it has two large prongs at the back which like a forklift truck go under the stack of bales in the field, tip slightly till the bales are resting on the trailer, then lower trailer to road worthy position and take to farm or stackyard, lift again and when steady move forward and extract prongs and off for another load
