I posted a bit more on the 336 on our yeilds and found a good article that I linked at the top of my double post I think. I think it deserved its own post for some westerners to understand the eastern haying.

"In New Brunswick, an appropriate balance of N, P, and K kept a long-term stand of timothy producing yields of 3.8 tons/A or more for 26 years. An annual application of 140-90-120 lb/A of N, P2O5 and K2O was calculated to be the
most profitable level of fertilization."

This is with no irrigation.

Ken,I have baled hay in Tx.that made 100 small sq.65# bales/acre/ but not often and definently not this yr. where I live(need rain).I have been around sq, balers every since I can remember and I haven't seen a bale with only 4-5 flakes in it.I read your Eastern hay yield report and yes fertilizer(commercial or cow) and water makes for better production.Thanks,Jim

Jim,

I certainly don't like bales with that few flakes in them, I try to avoid it. The other baler, a MF224 has a different feed than the 336 and it just plugs at the pickup instead of packing too much in, it will get to about 6" flakes then starts piling hay where the packer forks grab.
