Moving large square bales, with no machinery. Let’s do this.

That’s ok, I’m actually going in the other direction, looking for “dollar store” solutions to shoving a few 1,000lb blocks of hay off of a flatbed truck or trailer.
Buying winches, cranes, 1/2 million dollar farm loaders & related machinery isn’t really practical for $250 small loads of hay.

I thought you were looking to push bales off the back of your Ram 5500 -thus the $55 (removable) winch option. Good luck finding a Dollar Store solution.

I don’t understand how a winch would pull the bale off the bed and I already have a winch on the truck.

Good luck finding a Dollar Store solution.

We have already found a few. PVC rollers, a 4x4 under one side of bale, some slippery sheets of material, tying a rope to a tree to pull bale off, or a second truck pulls bales off my truck, etc.

Topic is beat to death.
