On a technical side the 250 bales @ about 18 kg a bale is about 4.5 tons, the rear axle, leaf springs, and rear shock absorbers . are from a 6 wheel truck. We have a lot of these pick up hauling rice straw in this area, never seen one blow over..........yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assurancetourix Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 In summer 1976 , in France , we had a very big drought , especially in Brittany . I was a trucker and drived a semi trailor ( 38 tons ) every week to Italy. But during three months my boss asked me to work for the farmers who had nothing to give for their animals. Every day with many other truckers we did many km with balls of straw on our trailors; I used to have 14 row of balls on my trailor which was each time 5,7 m high = 18,7 feet ; yes a very high truck; why 18,7 feet ? because the electric lines, in France are at minimum 6 m high = 19,6 feet so we can pass under them if they cross the roads. the load on the trailor was approx 11 tons .

Good question, they use plastic sheets to cover the loads, in very heavy rain they will stop somewhere, If the straw gets wet and is stacked into the barn It will heat up and, and you will get mold and fungi, making the straw smell, cattle will not eat it so readily.

kickstart Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Emptying milk churns, most Thai dairy farmers milk 10-30 cows, a few milk 50 plus, all have no cooling equipment, for cooling milk. Raw milk sent to a co-op/milk center, where it is weighed, cooled and stored, then sent to factories in Bangkok and Ayutthaya, all milk is picked up from farms, am and pm, one time this co-op used to send 80 ton a day to the factories, now about 30 ton a day, it is the milk centers that pay the farmers.,once a month. The other truck has emptied his milk churns and is putting the weigh tickets in the milk churns, before doing the return journey to drop the churns off at the farms. This truck used to be a Rot -song -Tell, local bus, doing a 120 km round trip a day for a lot of years, now in retiement, hauling milk churns.
