I could not find the Extra pic today so I thought I would help out Jon (a neighborly thing to do) Jim

To feed mini horses?

All that guy needs now is one of those little STRUCK mini crawler loaders to do all the rest of his mini farming tasks.

Wonder how much they weigh. I read once that Allis Chalmers baler made about a 75 lb. bale.

The extra pic shows up in Modern View, Not in Classic, I found it in modern, and switched to classic. It followed me there till I went back to the forum, where it disappeared. Who knows. Jim

At 75 lbs, that would be an extra heavy bale coming out of an AC baler. Especially if it"s grass hay. I know they"re capable of weighing that, but I doubt that it"s the norm. I stacked thousands of them.

I remember seeing one of these on you tube. If those bales just unroll like the big ones, those would be perfect for mulching the rows in my larger garden. For years now that's all I use, loose, but a nice dry green hay grass like mulch, off the lawn. Nothing mature, no weed seed, it leaches nitrogen and with the clay/loam soils, it helps the soil stay moist a long time in high heat. I put a pile of this hay around a corner section of sweet corn one year. The stalks were dark green, tall and healthy plants to say the least. 2 ears each, thought it might have been three on one of them, of course the fish story grows every year lol ! The soil was lacking in that area, further down the row, the plants were yellowish, never grew much, this stack of my lawn hay was loaded with nitrogen, all natural too.

Those rolls would work nice in the rows of the larger patch, easy to handle, store, and that baler would also be easy to store.

If someone had the time and patience,I could see a growing niche market for those bales around me.price them at $20-25 ea. Alot of weekend warriors with a mini horse,or a couple of goats or sheep on an acre or 2.Throw 2 or 3 bales in the back of the Subaru and take them home. Good size for small animals,they would clean it up and not waste much as they would with a 4x4 bale. Just have to get past the initial expense

I've also handled thousands of them. 50 pounds is usually the target weight. One farmer I hired out to told me he keeps them on the lighter side because he is the one that has to handle them at feeding time.
