A method and apparatus for forming a tie pattern of bales on a stacking table of a bale wagon. The method includes the steps of receiving a first array of longitudinally aligned bales on the stacking table, fixing the outermost or flanking bales of the first array for pivotable movement about a point, removing the bale or bales extending between the flanking bales of the first array, and inserting a series of a second array of longitudinally aligned bales generally midway between the fixed flanking bales. The apparatus for forming the tie pattern comprises tines extending through a stacking table for fixing the flanking bales for pivotal movement about a point, paddles for removing the bale or bales extending between the flanking bales of the first array and a receiving table disposed adjacent the stacking table for transferring bales thereto in either the first array or second array.
