[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7672451, member: 818"] Bottom layer on our trailers was always one lengthways down the middle and two at right angles either side. Then alternating layers of the lengthways bales at each side and two at right angles. Trailer length needs to be selected carefully, as the length of small bales is invariably more than than the 3 foot that two bales side by side are. Thus if you're not careful you have a pig of a job getting the lengthways bales to fit on. If you want to have what I would term a '6 long' trailer, ie one that can fit six bales lengthways down the bed reasonably easily, then you probably need a bed length of at least 19". I've just been out and measured some of my old wagons that were built in the era of small bales, and the 6 long ones are between 19 and 20 feet long and the one that is 7 long is 22 feet long. If you are building it for rounds (presumably 4 feet ones?) and small bales then a 19-20' long trailer should fit both reasonably well. [/QUOTE]
