Subject: RE: Big round bale size, and why



East Central Saskatchewan		For me 5x6, less time spent baling and hauling, and more efficient, plus work better in my hay feeders. I had some 4x5 bales from a local guy I bought, took extra work and had to feed everyday instead of every second day, I could unload them two at a time which helps, with the new tractor I could do 3 at a time. For everyone talking about some big bales, we had 6x6 hardcore rounds in the area quite a few years ago now, the dry hay ones weighed about 2100 lbs I believe and he made a couple silage bales with it too, I think they weighed over 3k pounds per bale. The machinery that handled those bales didn't last long, hard on the hay shredder and baler, very much harder on the loader tractor, especially since the guy who made them figured carrying two at a time on the front loader was a good idea. The next season all those 3 things headed down the road mangled, baler had a lot of bearings replaced during that season as well. It didn't help as well that the guy didn't keep up on maintenance either.
