I bet you stateside balers rarely encounter this problem...

Not your typical looking stooks though. I'm guessing you either don't get rain in this season or they'll be picked up in short order?

This is what I was referring to WW, your crew will still have jobs. Hope the link works.

To my memory it was about 7 feet wide and 10 long. 1/2 inch round on 8 inch spacing kept the bales from dragging on the ground. Gate is hinged at the top with a spring loaded hook type latch at the bottom. The trip rope went through an eye mounted on top of the baler to the tractor.
I put up 8-10000 bales by myself with this rig and a 1-ton for 3 years when we first started.

(note to self, was not good planning to havesquare bales and expecting wife at the same time.)

I never have time to get a picture in my fields...Crows and Buzzars start working on them before I make a round...I have hauled the bale up to the stack pen and next morning come out to 10 buzzars setting on one bale of hay...coon skin was all that was left

they say a person's physical proportions are comparable to the kind of baler he has..............

Back in the Good old days we pulled a stone boat type sled behind the baler. A man rode it and stacked bales in a stook and then used a bar stuck in the ground to slide them off. Also a buncher was dragged behind the baler with a bunch of rods for a bottom. When the determined number of bales were made and collected a rope was pulled to let then out the back and they were already bunched to make stooks by hand. Neither would cost much to build.
