Very interesting. What is the maximum moisture you can bale and dry?
How long would it take to dry hay from 30% to 13% moisture?
Hi "balefire"!
Thank you for your feedback and questions.
The maximum initial moisture with which you can bale your forage in the field, depends primarily on what type of product you have to dry:
it changes a lot whether it is alfalfa or ryegrass or permanent pasture.
With alfalfa you can bale and dry up to 50% humidity and even beyond (over 50%: one should be familiar with the know how and have a lot of experience).
With ryegrass we recommend to bale and dry with a maximum of 35% humidity and with permanent pasture up to a maximum of 40/45%.
The weight of the dried square bales is approx. 500 Kg (1100 Lbs) when the product was baled and dried at an initial 30% moisture.
If the product is below 30% initial moisture, the bale can weigh approx. 550 kg (1200 Lb) For drying hay with an initial moisture of 30% down to 13% end moisture in any possible climate of your region (Canada, ON), we need a drying time of approx 8 h.
