Buddy of mine ended up with one of these balers. The smallest bale within a bale is still close to 100#, I would think your horse customers would not be super pleased with it. At the time I was selling a bunch of hay also, not as much as you, and was thinking of going that route. The weight of the bale within the bale was my concern. Just too awkward.
Are the stack wagons still around or have they disappeared? Might be the cheapest option, at least to start, if they are still kicking around just unused.

ETA: I meant to say well over 100#, very hard to handle.
I did 45 minutes of research after Mike there made the suggestion. It looks like the smallest bales the Krone can be dialed in for a suitcase style bale that weighs 110 lbs. The horse customers here can't even grasp the idea that bales made with a NH 580 would be priced higher than the ones baled with a 570. Or why some guys irrigated 30" bale of 2nd cutting is the same price as a 38" first cutting... To this customer base, no matter bale weight and size, this product is a direct substitute outside a nutritional test sheet, color and price. All that to say it would be a hard sell. |
Calling Rebalers: Loose Hay and a Stautmann Forage Wagon... Would it Work?
