let say for every 100 ton of hay... based on 70 inch bale
2100 lbs bale = 95.2 bales @ $13.00 / $1237.60
2000 lbs bale = 100 bales @$13.00/ $ 1300.00
1900 lbs bale = 105.2 bales@ $13.00 / $1367.00
1800lbs bale = 111.1 bales@ 13.00 / $1444.30
1700 lbs bale= 117.6 bales @ $13.00/ $1528.80
1600 lbs bale= 125 bales @ $13.00 / $ 1625.00
1500 lbs bale= 133.3 bales @ $13.00 / $1732.90
surface area exposed to weather (outside)
based on 70 inch bale
95.2 bales = 1743 feet of surface exposed one bale = 18.31feet of surface = nice tight bale (round)
133.3 bales = 2441.6 feet of surface exposed one bale = 18.31 feet of surface= looks like an egg when it hits the ground or 2 weeks later.......a good bale should hardly squat out even after a year old..
heavier bales have more quality and less total waste, less hrs, less fuel,less net wrap, less field traffic and if you hire a custom tub grinder by the hour look at what happens, you have less tough grinding in the winter because you have less surface area ( tough grinding ) which can lead to heat spots in the pile......
I have yet been told to go home when custom bailing.........but, there is always the first........ |
