We regularly unload 6 roundbales off a carhauler  and use a 250 diesal to do 
it in my arena, cause I store the bales at the the edge of the arena under 
tarps on a slight hill for drainage.
 Arena is on high ground, soil was Georgia clay and sandy subsoil, drained 
pretty good without footing. I have rockdust or screenings about 3-4' deep 
on 1/2 of the arena and a lot less on the other half ,cause  I couldn't 
afford to do the whole thing this year.Arena measures 165 X 65 at one 
end,slightly wider at the other. Impressions on the good side even when 
soaked are only 2" deep  from the truck, the other side sinks up to 4=6" in 
the wet spots, but it has very little footing left (tends to wash down on 
that side during torrential rains.Maybe 1' of footing on the bad, mushy 
side. ) i use rock dust as I can ride on it in winter and wet. Summer can 
get hard, but I can drag it or  not .Only packs down when it rains and 
dries, if wet it stays spongie.
