Sumner GA, Located in southwest GA, | Not to discourage you, I like square bales too, but EVERY step along the way is time consuming, if not labor intensive. Now I love to handle square bales, and will probably do more as I can, but labor is a big kicker. Older round balers are cheap right now, and for dry hay for brood cows, you really cant afford high end deluxe, it wont pay. I got an old 846 New Holland chain baler, certiantly not new or fancy or fast for that matter, but I have run it head to head against a square baler. Light hay, I can get more productivity out of a square baler, but in hay with decent volume, I can move, feel like it takes forever to tie off, but I think I could add another twine arm to help that. Anyway, I digress, If you have the time and the labor, square bales are a wonderful way to store and handle hay, but if you are always running late, you will kick yourself everytime you have to handle a bunch of square bales to feed cows when you could have just dropped a bale for them in the pasture.
