NOTE:
If there is only one tied/not tied layer on the top, depending on the grab style it can be very
difficult to dissemble the stack. Alternatively, you can have just a single bale as the final layer which
reduces the risk of a bale falling of the back of the stack.
If you are building a large stack, it is recommended to tie the first two stacks and to stack them all the
same way. If the stack is going to stand for a significant period of time, the final stack can also be tied
to secure the entire stack.
If you
’
re stacking on sloping ground,
it’s
much easier to build the stack working up the hill where
possible. This way the bales will naturally want to lean backwards and keep the stack standing.
With 1.2x1.3m bales, you will only get 5 layers on the trailer unless the bales are rolled through 90
degrees so the strings are around the sides of the bales instead of being around the top and bottom
of the bales. You may find stacking the bales with the strings on the side much easier as the bales tend
to be much more level and even over the length of the bale.

This section explains the functions of all the settings. Should you wish to adjust any setting, this section
explains the effects and the possible unexpected side effect that could disrupt the behaviour of the
Transtacker.
To find the settings, press the bottom left button with the three white lines to take you to the first
