Depends how tight the baler was screwed down, on a good day I would reckon somewhere about 6 to 6 1/2, he is 9 high, pretty brave for a BMC, I bet it rolled a bit on Cornish roads!
As for modern outfits, there is a chap from Stow on the Wold just been fined a total of £14,000 for various offences relating to being over 10 tonnes overweight.

John, You are familiar with straw bales etc, what sort of weight would this BMC/Austin/Morris lorry have on ■■ Cheers, Ray/

Ray that lorry load of straw looks alot but back then it was hard to get the weight in those bales, he probably has about 4 1/2 ton on there but today is a different story, with the big bales now and modern machinery an 8ft bale can weigh over 1/2 a ton each so if you see a waggon & drag loaded with straw today it would be on its max weight if not more, Buzzer
