I'm sorry, it just isn't long enough.

Just kidding. That is some serious hay.

Thanks for the compliments. I run that trailer behind an F-450 and didn't want to chop up the trailer or the M813. That hitch was pretty easy to make and I can take it on and off in a minute or less - works great.
This setup saves me a ton of time - 2 round trips at most instead of 5 or 6. Turning it around takes some planning, but the two additional wagons behind the flatbed track nicely. I can move about 35,000# of hay in one trip with this arrangement.

How does your fifth wheel attach to the trailer tongue, or does it just sit into a pocket?

Pics man, pics!

Its a Gooseneck, not a fifth wheel, so it sits on a 2 5/16 in ball mounted to the plate directly under it.....
