Retractible Tonneau w/ haybales

[B177y]

Retractable covers seem to eventually ALL have problems.
I love my BAK Revolver hard rollup.

This is what I would go with. No Velcro for the hay/straw to get stuck to and you just roll it up to get the entire bed access (minus a tiny bit for the roll), no need to remove anything.

Make sure you get the X4S.. The X2 is the really old style . #80339
The X2 is a Vinyl covering and the X4s is a Dull heavy material cover and doesn't fade.

So I'm looking into Tonneau covers, and I'm stuck between getting a retractible one or a tri-folding one. I regularly need to pick up hay in my truck bed, and the hay gets in all the little crevices every time... any of ya'll have experience with either of these Tonneau options that also haul haybales? I'm mostly concerned that hay will lodge itself in the rails of a retractible cover over time.

This is why I baught a 6x12 box trailer. I easily get 40 bales or 2 lrg rounds..

You could also fill the crevices with caulking??

It depends on how much you want to spend but I bought this one: https://egrusa.com/products/roll-tr...tractable-bed-cover-fits-ford-f-150-short-box

They make a whole manual one as well but this one is great. It's worth the price.

I went with a Lear quad fold. It still takes some space at the head of the bed but the bed camera can see over it. Some Trifolds I looked at blocked the camera. I DO NOT carry straw.
BTW, the little lever to release the supports that hold the cover open vertically broke. I have to use a small screw driver to release the spring right now. They are sending a replacement arm.

The trifold/quadfold style is a good option. Hay in the tracks won't prevent it from closing.

My gripe with the trifold is it picks up water weight over time. I've had four of them and they all do it. I wash my truck at an automated carwash at least weekly in the winter and live in Michigan where it doesn't always get a chance to dry out because of weather. Your mileage may vary.
