| People who have posted photos of wagonloads of small square bales show that there are many ways to stack a wagon by hand. In our extended family, all I remember is one "standard" way:
Bales three across, then stack four layers like this, then two on top. If the bales aren't too heavy, then one or two additional bales on top of this yet. Stand to to left of the chute so when the twines are grabbed, the bale leans on your jeans on the soft "squashed" side rather then the sharp "cut" side.
Other loads I've seen here have two bles across, the room for a third endways, alternating each layer. Do you make bales too long for 3 across? Just for light straw? Or two people on the wagon for handiling the heavier bales?
Are your bales always twice as long as they are wide, alternating direction barn stacking in a ratio 2:1, my bales fit with a ratio 5:3. | |
