I usually do it as you say. Put the whole trailer onto the sell point.
I just keep the telehandler incase anything goes wrong.
So that I can pick up the pallets.
Btw, I've edited my previous post a thousand times I guess
You might have missed something. I tried to answer all your questions.
I use the IT Runner bale trailer, can get 3x4 pallets on it and have stacked it 4 high. It is very wobbly when you transport but if you take it slow it works. Biggest problem though it will only sell 2 rows high whilst still on the IT Runner, if you unload the IT runner into the sell point it will sell 3 rows high (not tried it stacked 4 high yet). The reason I use the IT Runner is that the IT Runner bale trailer fits exactly into the sell point so you don't have to keep moving it which is ideal when you are selling it when the price is green as waiting for a High Demand can take a long time.
Whilst playing on American Outback I had to wait so long for a high demand that I had 100 pallets waiting to sell.
If you remove the straps when the bottom layers sell then the top one should fall down and hopefully not go everywhere. Might have to try strap them again at the right moment lol.
They clearly aren't if the top tiers don't sell. That's the point I'm trying to make. Anyway it was in reference to a post made about the itrunner bale trailer.
oh ok, well this is the Fliegal bale trailer, all mine do sell strapped in sometimes spinnery will take a bottom pallet first but then later takes the top one.
Eventually they all get sold.
I did sell 24 pallets of wool last night on the fliegl trailer.
I unstrapped them before driving over the trigger.
It started to sell from one of the top level pallets then randomly jumped from one to another.
Price was just above 13k and I get over 500k in one go. That felt really good.
My tactic is to load the pallets on a trailer, usually BSM's flatbed, or the stepdeck low loader. When I get the trailer full, I drive it to the spinnery. And this is when I cheat a little bit.
I drop the trailer and pull the truck out from under it, then reset the trailer. This leaves my pallets in a nice, neat stack beside the sell point. I will do this until the prices get up. I will then take a wheel loader with a silage leveler on it, or a tractor with the dozer blade, and push the pallets into the sell point. That way I get full price for my entire inventory.
We are all ignorant, we are all just ignorant about different things.
I imagine my character standing beside his truck at the spinnery. He's waiting to unstrap and back into the dock to be unloaded. He's having a bag of chips and a Mtn. Dew talking with the manager. Just about how the farm's going, the weather's going to be good for baling hay this week, "I heard so and so up the road bought a Big Bud tractor and ain't got one field over 20 acres. You can't hide money.", etc... You know, just waiting to get his wool unloaded and get back home.
Meanwhile, there's all you guys at the dock with your telehandlers, hooklift trailers, silage blades, loaders, magical resetting flatbed trailers... He just looks over and shakes his head and says, "boy, these youngins sure have a different approach then I'm used to. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I ain't never had to get out of the truck one time and your guys unload every pallet in no time."
Manager says, "yeah Tom, but these guys are so afraid of loosing $10 they'd rather do it the hard way. Fine with me, I ain't had to use a forklift since the last time you was here." They have a laugh and then Tom asks when that new John Deere dealer is coming to town... **record scratch**

That is a nice tactic. It lit a bulb in my head. I can't fit more than 2 trailers in the sell trigger but this way I can sell more then 2 trailer loads of wool.
Thanks
