We've got fields where we can't do 6 across - because we have to pass through barways in stone walls - surrounded with trees. Anything wider than the wagon will get pushed off by the branches.
Ditto on height.
So instead of having one pattern for open fields, and one for closed fields... it's a lot easier to go with the one the works in all.
Even so - we manage between 100 and 150 per wagon. But we also can have 4 or 5 wagons going in a loop so it really doesn't matter if each one is loaded a little light.
Remember too - the higher you stack the bales, the harder you're working - it's simple physics. You might not mind it, but somebody helping you probably does. If you're just doing one wagon load it hardly matters , but if you're doing 5 + wagons it does.
The bottom line - don't make loading the wagon any more of a chore than it has to be. Keep it simple and people will be happier about helping you with it.
