Storing all your hay in one confined area is a bad idea. If ever they catch fire, the entire pile will be lost. No putting a hay fire out. Stacked up in a pyramid, the fire will spread faster than you can get the un- lit bales moved away from the ones on fire. And you don't really have much of a shot at that anyways, unless you are right there when the fire begins. IF in a single line, you can atleast shove a couple bales in the middle of the row out of the line so the fire don't just go from one bale to the next on down the rest of the bale line.
If untarped or tarps become leaky, any rain water that gets to the hay, will absorb into it someplace if stacked in a pyramid. Even if it's net wrapped. Net wrap basically don't function to shed water if bales are tight against each on the net wrap.
In my area, there is not much weather waste if bales are net wrapped and used up in less than a year. 2 or 3 years, different story. Mainly ground rot. But, in my opinion, no need to carry hay over until its 3 years old. If your doing that, then you are also likely feeding 3 year old hay most of the time. Bad idea in my opinion.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
