The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[Huntmaster]

Don't know if you ever had turkeys before but let me tell you that big bird can eat. And that's what I mainly raise.

I can only haul 20, maybe 24 50 lb bags at a time in my truck.
I have 3 freezers. Idk what size. Like a large, med, and small. The big one holds 600 lbs and the small one almost 250 lbs.
They easily hold what I can get at a time. Work well and ya I find them free on CL.

I haul a full ton of feed on my Toyota Tacoma whenever I order by the ton, but I only have ten miles to haul it.

450 lbs is the max my car can haul, and it almost is touching the wheels in the back at that point. Much happier now that it only hauls 300-350

I have a regular 1/2 ton F150. I could haul more but I've learned with previous vehicles it's not worth the wear and tear it does long term.
I'm about a 45 minute drive that's mostly hilly curvey two lane black top the gravel. Over 20 bags really messes with braking and I can feel a difference with handling going into.curves and then of course a bit of lack of power up the bigger hills.
I need a 1 ton flat bed so they could just drop a pallet on and I could strap it down and go.

Hey as long as it gets it done all those birds gotta eat I'm sure they wouldn't be happy with momma if she didn't come home with 300-350

I'd be getting pulled over trying that even here. I can't be having that.

Right where I'm at the landscape is mostly flat to lightly rolling. I've been hauling loads like this for the last eight years. Never considered that I might get pulled over for a load like this.

That's an impressive stack of straw...? or is that hay?

If I had this I wouldn't be hauling a ton at a time either, for sure not with a Tacoma.
