Building Stacks
CAUTION: Return stacker to the “in-
line” position when moving between
bales in field and stack. This reduces
the chance of running over anybody
or anything in the field.
Starting Stacks
1. Choose a level area, with enough room to maneuver
a tractor and Bale Runner even after the stack is
nished.
Important: If completely level ground is not available,
then build your stack uphill (front of
tractor and Bale Runner facing uphill).
2. Begin stack by building a “backstop”. The proper
backstop should be built to withstand backing into the
stack every time a load is delivered. We recommend
the following back stop congurations:
1 Ton Squares: A 2 bale by 2 bale square set at one
end, perpendicular to the length of the bales in the stack.
The rst load in the stack should be only 7 bales.
1/2 Ton Squares: A 3 bale by 3 bale square set at one
end, perpendicular to the length of the bales in the stack.
The rst load in the rest of the stack should only be 2
bales by 4 bales, with one extra in the fth tier.
3 X 4 Bales: A 2 bale by 3 bale stack set at one end,
perpendicular to the length of the bales in the stack.
The rst load in the stack should be 9 bales, and the
rest should be 12 bales.
