If I'm understanding the coding, we do it like this:

1st level:
=!!= (two in-line with the tractor centerline, with "wings" to either side).
2nd level:
!!!!! (five across in line with tractor c/l)
3d level:
=!= (one in line with tractor c/l and "wings")
4th level:
!!!! (4 across in line with tractor c/l)
5th level:
==

So if you took a cross-section of our stack:

[=][=]
{}{}{}{}
[=]{}[=]
{}{}{}{}{}
[=]{}{}[=]
----------- <--wagon floor

(Hmm, when looking at the "preview" of my message, it doesn't line up like I thought it would. But you get the idea)

We can usually get 100 or so bales on each wagon. These are on open flat wagons. The first level "wings" overhang our wagons by 6-8". It really depends how big your wagons are. We've done it this way for years and it seems to work good for us. The main thing will be get them in TIGHT together! Try to "lock" them in like LEGOs. Otherwise, every bump in the field with loosen the stack a little and eventually you'll hit that big bump that will make hay fall off!
Also, however you stack, on an open wagon you need to "slant" your levels in slightly, like a pyramid, to help them from falling. Straight-sided levels with tend to fall.
