[QUOTE="snake67, post: 955301, member: 17764"] I assume you are putting these under cover? Otherwise you will lose a bunch when they get wet. No matter how you stack them - if they are not covered when stacked, there is significant loss when they are rained upon - the moisture will be trapped and rot begins. If not covered, I recommend you simply place them in long rows - end to end and pushed tight together. North to south is the best - and be sure the rows do not touch. We used to use a grapple - but no longer stack on end as we do not sell hay any more - we keep it all and will feed old hay when we are in trouble - like this year - fortunately we managed to finish a decent second cut last week. The only advantage to stacking on end is the bales keep their shape - makes a nicer truck load. A lot of info here, but you did not provide much in your opening comment to tell us why you were doing this, and where you were doing this. Hope all works out for you Best to all Bez [/QUOTE]
