got to add a little story in here though, 20 years ago, you could put a large number of square bales in the barn if you had good help, today, it is hard to get 1000 bales a day put up. I know, btdt. My brother and I baled hay commercially when we were in high school in NE TX and SE OK. The most we put up was a little over 3500 bales in one day. Myself, my brother, Momma, my aunt and her 4 daughters and 2 neighbor boys that had more muscle than brains worked our butts off - started about 10 in the morning and finished right after midnight just as the first drops of rain started falling.....we sat in the rain drinking cokes until we could gather up enough energy to go home.....dog tired, but the hay didn't get wet. Bermuda grass bales weighing about 65 pounds on average....Daddy was the lucky one, he "had" to go to work that day. Now days, if you can find someone willing to help, the muscle and know how are surely lacking. Hubby and I do good to get 1000 bales a day in the barn and that is with an accumulator on the baler, putting them in 10 bale patties and using a front end loader to pick them up off the field, 'course, I am not in as good of shape now as I was 20 years ago and the only dependable help is Papaw (hubby's grandpa) and he is almost 91 but he is in danged good shape for his age and our 4-year-old son....so with those two helpers, it is kinda like doing it by yourself with a handicap...
