Subject: Big round bale size, and why



north-central Indiana west of Fulton		We have not had a big round baler all that long.....maybe 10 years, but really doesn't seem that long ago. We had told the local NH salesman ,ahead of time ,we would be interested in a nice used baler if he got one at the dealership within the next year. Ended up buying a 2 or 3 year old B740 eventually. It's a 4' wide and can make a nearly 5' baler. I would say 4' wide is rather popular around here . We thought 4' is better to load on wagons for us since we have older 7' wide wagons and have added a couple 8'x 20'. Taking net wrap off while still on the forks is better because we are only 5'8" tall and can only reach so high up and a 6' bale would be much harder to unwrap. Hadn't even thought about that previously. They seem to fit more efficiently in some of our storage spots which was just a lucky unplanned bonus. Bigger , heavier bales would have been a little much, possibly for a couple of our loaders too. So it turned out to be a good choice for us.
It seems however , on Ag Talk ....5x5 or even 5x6 are more common and popular. What's other's reasons for the size of balers they have and bales they make ? Bigger the better? Just a question to ponder on a rainy night. We are getting close to the 4 or more inch rain total here....and rain is still on the forecast!
