Isn't that just a regular full comp chain with the top portion (top plate) ground off for $100?

There is a product called the Big Bale Cutter that is made to do this. I have never used it, nor seen it used, but it's one option.

Have not used a chain saw. We had a lot of flooding here last November and a lot of round bales of hay got damaged by the water.

We have been gathering some of them up and putting them through a chipper/shreeder to make mulch. It has been working great so far and we are selling it just about as fast as we can get a truck load shreded. We just pull the shredder to a bale and go to work loading the truck.

Reply to LesWV Iwould be interested in your method of grinding and disposing of round bales.I have 50 bales of milo ( sudan) that I intended to use as mulch in my orchard.But have 110 bales of bahia at my other farm that has not been sold.If there is a market I could grind it but am puzzled about how you open these tightly formed bales.Also how do you charge for the stuff in your area.I am in Texas.will appreciate hearing from you if possible by e-mail. address [email protected] Thanks,Ol Chief

We just cut the strings to get them out of the way. Then cut lenght wise of the bale about 12 to 16" apart with a 16" Husqavarna 141 chain saw with a regular chain. Once it is cut use a pitch fork to toss into the shredder.

As I said the hay the we have been working with was under water last November and has started to rot already. The two guys that bought the bulk of it for $25.00 a pick up truck load and uses it to make top soil by mixxing it in huge drums with lime, saw dust, dirt and grass clippings. They then turn arund and sale the black dirt mix for something like $50.00 for a truck load. It makes some great soil for flower beds and top soil to get grass started growning.

The rest we have sold to people for $25.00 a load that does not want to spend $2.50 for a bale of straw for muching.

Several years back we cut some old bales with chainsaw. Guess what. Had to call fire dept. to put out fire. Fire was started from exhaust and by holding chainsaw too close to bale. So be careful.
