Built Ford Tough! (Pics)
Took a trip to pick up 200 bales of hay yesterday. Drove 45mph for 50 miles. Both 2004 models, both have the 5.4L. (Black-4wd)(Blue-2wd) Here's some pics I took:

Nice trucks, and yes .... Thank God for Rain!
Impressive pics!
It's your deal and your trucks, but I believe pulling a tandem axle trailer I would have loaded a little less on the tongue and lower on height by spreading those upper levels towards rear. At least eliminating those top two levels by putting those 8 bales on lower levels rearwards. That's a lot of tongue weight.

Our original plan was to load the trailer evenly, but when it started raining we called it a day and hauled it as is.
I was tossing the bales onto the trailer and some new guy was stacking. Next time, I'll definitely be stacking because it was bugging me the whole drive back

Yea I agree, and should've done a little adjusting before I left.

Understand! 
You got her done and all worked out OK.But yeah, when loading hay and rain threatens, "you does what you gotta do".
Not ragging on you, just noticed the tag though .... you could use a set of those yellow tennis ***** on old antenna mast on magnets like Harbor Freight sells cheap ever so often. Punched that one dead center.
