Nice, clear instructions. I must say though, that everyone has their own opinions on what is the "correct" way. And that's because there's more than one "correct" way, that is just as stable, whether on a hay trailer or a straight truck. For instance, my dad taught me (over a half-century ago), the way that he was taught in the 1940s. I have seen this way of stacking go as much as 7 layers high on a truck; that truck twist as it drove out of a waterway and a bar ditch; and the bales were stacked tight enough to barely move. It's also a 5 bale layer. Base layer: Stacked exactly like how you did it, but the outer bales pulled out to the edge of the bed/floor. Next layer: Start with bale in center, run all 5 bales lengthwise, side-by-side, tightly. Next layer: Just as bottom layer, only as tightly together as possible. Repeat layers in that order, as high as desired. Top layer: Tie in with either 3 or 4 bales, however you wish. We used to get 100 bales on a truck, stacked this way...on a 16ft long flat bed.
I love it buddy! I need to show this to everyone that helps me!
Thank you best ever. At 76 yr young and worked dairy farm at 14 then own my own homestead for 45 years your video educated me .
We still stack that way. We learned from my uncle over 55 years ago and it’s still the best.
