What would that be useful for? I would have liked to have some mini round bales back when I was farming the living room carpet.
 
Don?t they do that out west, even for exporting hay?

it increases the density, so shipping is cheaper, and it?s a little easier to move the hay when you are talking container ships or the like, conveyer belts and big scoops can handle the cubes.

Cool pic, I?ve never seen one.

Some guys use them for feed for back packing mules/Horses in the mountains. There is a local farm here that makes cubes mainly for that reason.
 
JD made self propelled and stationary cubers from the 60s into the 80s. Very small production numbers but probably the most successful of anyone who tried to market cubers. I think they sold out the technology when they quit. The nearest cubers I?ve seen was down in Wyoming between Cody and Powell.
 
cubing hay was pretty popular out here in Central and eastern Washington back in the 70s and 80s. John Deere made a pull type cuber but a lot of gusy used stationalr cubers. They chopped hay aafter it was dry and hauled it to cuber. I think they were easy to handle mechanically and didn't take up as much space as bales. Now the popular thing is big square bales
