Our current best run is 2x 6 totes and a third stack of 5 totes. So under ideal conditions and doing this trick we may be should be able to achieve 3 full stacks. But we're not really going for that anyway, we just want to make sure we can get 2 full stacks every run and we should be good.
It looks great, definitely wouldn't worry too much about that extra tote or two. I'm just always looking for that way to shave a second off here or there to get more done. Good luck this season!
