The Ford F-350 dual rear wheel (DRW) is one of the most popular chassis for hauling hay in Texas, and Bradford Built builds some of the toughest hay beds on the market to go on top of it. If you’re feeding cattle, running square bales to customers, or hauling round bales across pastureland, a Bradford Built hay bed on an F-350 DRW gives you the stability and payload capacity to do it right.
Why the F-350 DRW Pairs Well with Bradford Built Hay Beds
The dual rear wheel configuration on an F-350 gives you a wider stance and higher payload rating than a single rear wheel (SRW) truck — typically 6,000+ lbs of payload capacity depending on cab and axle configuration. That extra capacity matters when you’re stacking round bales three deep or loading a full deck of square bales. Bradford Built’s hay bed frames are engineered to take advantage of that capacity without flexing or twisting under load.
Bradford Built Hay Bed Features for F-350 DRW
- Heavy-duty steel frame construction — built to handle repeated loading and unloading of hay without deck sag
- Pipe bale stops and headache rack options — keep round bales from rolling forward under braking
- Full-length deck with drop-in flatbed capability — many Bradford Built hay bed configs double as a general-purpose flatbed when hay season slows down
- Correct CA (cab-to-axle) fitment for F-350 DRW — we spec the bed length to your specific F-350 CA measurement so there’s no overhang or fitment gap
- Powder-coat finish — stands up to Texas sun, rain, and the abrasion of daily hay hauling
Pricing and Fitment
A Bradford Built hay bed for an F-350 DRW typically runs in the range of most standard hay bed builds, with final pricing depending on deck length, headache rack style, and any added options like gooseneck hitch prep or spare tire mounts. Because DRW trucks vary in CA measurement across F-350 model years and cab configurations (regular cab, crew cab, and long bed vs short bed chassis), we always confirm your exact CA before ordering to make sure the bed lines up correctly with your cab and fenders.
