Hi Scott,
They make a simular truck for loading/unloading 33000lb cotton modules(bales) in a van body for hauling to the gin. Works just like what the hay loader trailer does.
They off load the combined cotton into a modual builder (a open top & bottom four sided solid frame with a hydraulic tamping shoe to compress the cotton), hydraulic lower the wheels to the ground, then they open the rear doors and a net is drawn over the modual as the modual builder is pulled away from the modual, doors shut, then the modual builder is pulled approx 100ft ahead to build the next modual, raise the wheels, and your ready for another load of cotton.
After the cotton goes thru the gin and graded for quality, then it's baled in 500lb bales ready for sale. Only at this stage is the cotton called a bale of cotton as I was informed, then I was called a "green horn". :)
