I stacked and tarped 4x4 for a few years. 3-2-1, 66 bales a stack with tarps sized exact for the type of stack. 23 x 48 tarp.
All dry hay when baled, some sat out 3 weeks and got rained on a few times, some went right into stack right after baling. All depended on what time I had and if the loader was on the tractor (pin on boom)
I don't see a different putting several hundred square bales in a barn stacked 20' wide x 30 long' x 15' high the same day they were baled and stacking round bales and tarping.
I never stacked and tarped wet or damp hay. Any bales suspect I left out to sweat.
Stack losses were from the bales on the ground (direct on ground) and any holes in the tarp. Rodents, birds and the sun trash tarps in a hurry. I was lucky to get two seasons out of a tarp before it had some holes in it. Then get to fight with the wind blowing it off during a hurricane and the hay wet anyways, but in a big pile.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
