Bales 36" long load for 5 bales per teir and length would be correct for 4 tiers long so 4 teirs high of the 5 bales on a 14" bale would be 6' 2' load height for 4 bales high then a tie on top of those 2 wide and half overlaping would be 7 bales per side or 14 total ther would be 25 per stack times 4 stacks equal a hundred plus those 14 on top to tie together is 114 bale and at 50$ per bale that is 5,700 pounds and would make your total load height 7'4" and with a bed 3' off ground that should be high enough for a lot of doors and the like, low branches and things. You are tall (for short person you would not want that extra height) so loading a layer higher if you have the overhead clearance might work and that would add 20 more bales or anouther 1,000 pounds. So that would make 6,700# or over 3 and a quarter ton. Your truck is rated ot what 1 1/2 ton or is it 2 ton. Either way it should hold that much but it will be a full load on it. The 2 straps lengthwise are good but also add 4 more crosswise over the load so it doesn't shift sideways as it can with just the 2 straps lengthwise. In my 71 years I have seen too many loads lost because of not being tied down good enough. And make that front end for the bed and make places on it to fasten those straps to toward the top of the load.

He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
