    I have never seen a load of small squares secured well enough for me to hook onto it.

    My grandfather throws a tarp over them and then throws his staps over the tarp.

    Here's a pic of a load. It's not all square bales but it will help give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

    Looks like it would be better to have fish nets and tarps on the little buggers so they don't go tumbling down.
