How much hay can be hauled

[6x6in6]

Ck3500 6.5' bed 5.7 liter 4x4, new E rated tires, new breaks, no extended bed rails.  So a true 3/4 Chevy, I'm trying to figure how many 55-65 lbs of hay I can haul say a distant of 30 miles not highway speeds but 45-50 mph.

Now I've seen what looks to be 10 bails in other trucks like mine even in a 1/2 ton once in a while with a 6 banger. What is your experience?

Look at the ID plate on the drivers side door or jamb that will tell you what you can legally haul.  Safely, whatever you can haul safely down the road.

But hey, I'm "that guy" who throws 32 bales in the back of my dually and another 220 on a 10k car trailer.  The truck can haul it (legally) and tow it and stop it (safely) but the trailer is about 3000 lbs overloaded.

I was the queen of stacking 25-30 bales no ropes...I hauled a *censored* ton of hay in regular pickups...30 was on the outside end and you needed to be used to wrestling bales...25-26 was an average load for us...Us being myself and my best friend she and I were left to our own by most our hay guys...lol...never tell 2 women you cant do that

bet you can't do it again 

bring it...lol...naw I am old and fat and had back surgery not real willing to repeat that life....it was fun dont get me wrong but I have really enjoyed not being in chronic pain.  I used to do 5 bales on roof rack of station wagon, 3 bales on a geo metro..all depends on the bales and ingenuity....
