I would be interested. What are you pulling with a 1500 that requires a goose-neck?

Not 100% sure what answer your looking for, but all of my trailers are goosenecks, 23' Prospector flat deck with 4' beaver tails and a 20' Norbert stock trailer. I never really pull from the bumper. Unless its my buddies wakeboarding boat.

 

Or if your asking what you need to pull a gooseneck, Curt makes a super affordable, very solid under bed gooseneck hitch. I bought that and installed it myself. Also I have a tool box/slip tank combo at the front of my box, so I bought Curt's 6" ball offset to set the ball back another 6". I would also suggest getting a good set of air bags for the back suspension and upgrade your tires to load E rated.

I was just saying most anything a 1/2 ton pickup is rated for can be pulled with a bumper pull. Seems like your over on the last pick. But I'm not a hay expert ha

Ya way over towing capacity. 3800lbs over I think. Bales were about 900lbs each. Not sure if I had 11 or 12 on that load, but i'm sure that load with the trailer was 13,400 lbs.

 

But I like how gooseneck trailers handle. With the hitch point being slightly ahead of the axle it sways a lot less and they are easier to maneuver around. Also I swear I get better fuel mileage with a gooseneck. I pulled a 16' aluminum bumper pull stock trailer for awhile and it sucked more fuel than my new 20'steel gooseneck trailer. That gooseneck is almost like a knife.
