I shoot for a 55lb bale on average so some may be 45lbs and some up to 60 depending on field conditions. When the hay gets real dry of course it doesn't pack as easy. Most of the hay we've baled this year has been down around 10% moisture.

60 stoke baler that sounds even older then my old balers! We did use to have a couple Massey 12's before the NH278. I'm not sure how many strokes a minute they were but less then the NH 278.

We bale always with 2 balers and on big fields with 3 when I have the drivers. With 3 balers going it takes no time to clean off a 60 acre field. But then I really fall behind in picking if its a good 80-90 bale an acre crop!

My hay is sold by the 160 bale stack. As thats how its delivered with a stack retriever truck.

I think my old deer was 68 if remember typed a 0 instead of 8. Anyway there simoply is no comparisaon on how they operate. We juast got done doing short fifty in day and half so thougt that was good the baler never stoped as I run accumulator system,they were all on wheels that secon day also. i use the old donahue implement trailers and load and tarp. 264 usually to a load 44to a layer a 6 high. Have 10 of those units plus three other trailers. this was straw and alweays shoot for 100 per acre if lucky. I have always heard those wagons had to havw at least 70 lb bales to work decent. I have way to many hills for them and sheds not suited to them. I like the system i use as it has lots of versatility to it. Whats a bale worth in your area. Here I get $3.00 for straw out of field,hay is $3.50 also up to 4.50 out of field. deliverd is more etc etc.
