It depends who's loading it Cheech or Chong ??? ...............Does anyone know how many small square bales a normal full sized cargo van can hold?
Thanks!!!
18 x 15 x 36 inches for all us old people.Everyone knows a small hay bale is 450 mm x 375 mm x 900 mm, sheesh!

Depends on the van, but more like double that.….I'll hold at least 20 bales, but I'm not sure.….
Why not a van with a trailer? I own a small resort, not a ranch, but still my vehicle sees many uses. I held on to my F-250 out of uncertainty when I bought the van. After a year and 1/2 discovering the van unmatched versatility I've decided to sell the F-250. I do have a couple trailers, but don't believe they see much more use than before the van became my primary work horse.At this point we're trying decide if we want a pick up truck or a full sized cargo van. When I had my dairy goat farm I had 2 pick ups and a cargo van, so I never used the cargo van for hay, but now we downsized, and I only want either a cargo van or pick up, and we're trying to decide which would be best. We also have an antique business, so the cargo van is more useful for that, but is it decent for transporting hay??
The only thing normal size is the 14x18 for small squares. Length can vary drastically from seller to seller and will be in the 28-38 inches. Any of those lengths can be around 50 lbs. Use a truck. With an 8ft. bed and stacked properly will hold 50 bales. 6ft approx. 40. Cargo guessing is half that.I should have been more clear. I use normal sized square bales, usually around 50 pound bales. I will stack them from floor to ceiling. I used to have a cargo van that I used for livestock and other things, but I never put bales in it. I'm guessing it'll hold at least 20 bales, but I'm not sure. At this point we're trying decide if we want a pick up truck or a full sized cargo van.

Having 2 pick ups with trailers was good, because I used to make my own hay and sell it, but now I buy hay, since I only have 8 acres now.
That's a very good idea. We also had a full-size 3/4 ton van conversion. We bought a car hauler trailer to move the tractor around. It also moves furniture, firewood, and would move hay bales as well, I'm guessing. We eventually sold the van and switched to Suburbans. Very versatile.Why not a van with a trailer?
