Two hours 12 minuets/98 bales of hay

Bruce from Can. · Jun 22, 2018

Cut with 9? haybine, raked 3 into 1 , started balling at 5:30 pm, and finished at 7:42 pm . Ground speed 3.7 mph Bales are 50? x48?. Lots of hay again this year. These bales are only close to dry, and now must be wrapped for baleage. And they are plenty heavy too. This is a look at the windrows while baling, and this is the rig. Look at the sky in these pictures, going to rain for sure. Nearly dark and still a hour before sundown Bruce

That's a really good cut! We're still chopping really nice catches but very short from all the cold weather till recently. Getting a third-half of a 15' truck load to the acre. A good cut here would be a full load/ac. Fertilized stuff was just about as light as unfertilized. Beautiful quality though and second cut is growing fast. Never seen a cow starve on PEI yet not likeky will this year either.

Net wrap? Mark.

Net wrap in the field, and then stretch plastic wrapped in the yard at home.

Nice looking hay. How is the Anderson wrapper working out for you??? You should be able to wrap a lot quicker than you where.

The Anderson wrapper works, as my buddy says ? slick as snot on a door knob!?.
Fact is it will wrap the bales as quick as one fella with a loader can put them on, you can never get a head of it. Only downside, takes more space to store the same amount of hay, but I?ll just have to live with that. Bruce

What do bales that size weigh? Been thinking about upgrading. I wrap most of mine with an H&S line wrapper.

It really depends on the type of hay and the moisture at baling. These Red Clover bales will weigh from 1000-1500 lb. you don?t want two in most pickup trucks, lol

The extra space because you can't stack the bales????
