In Reply to: Stacking On Edge.... posted by Bill VA on May 24, 2017 at 18:25:02:
My wagons are 8 feet wide or a little wider. This leads to being able to put two bales crosswise, and one lenghtwise across the wagon. I stack in groups of 5 bales, each layer different than previous one, with lengthwise bale on center, one side or other. Makes for a pretty stable load. Usually 5th layer is 4 bales, crosswise to lock in those below. Maybe one across in center if I do a 6th layer. Each wagon can get 5 stacks, but last few bales can be a challenge if you want to stand on the deck! NEVER on edge, all bales flat. If hay is wet enough that I would be concerned about drying in the mow, it stays in the windrow until it is safe. Have 5 wagons, and a pole barn big enough to slide all 5 in loaded, so I can mow at my own time. Meanwhile the loads are dry and safe in polebarn. I suppose some drying can take place on wagons, but I never take that into account. Wife and I are only ones left on farm, all the help has moved on to lifes of their own, so I get to stack the wagons - the teenage job, and she drives the tractor.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
