40 for sure on the trailer, 20 2K round bales. Makes the tires squat a bit.... Have no idea what the weight is on the hitch ball is, just needs about 60 in the bags to level the bed.... and it's just from the field to the barn, not out on the big road anyway. I'd never be able to stop it in an emergency situation.
Having said and done that, I also have a 2 5/16" ball welded on the top of my rear bale spear so I can use a tractor as a prime mover as well. I put 2 bales on the front spears to offset the rear weight and go down the dirt road at a blistering 20 mph.
It's farming and farmers all abuse weight limits and equipment capability.
