One load of straw gone

Don’t worry barney there are two more loads to go . If you can’t make money on free straw and twine you are doing it wrong

What does a big square straw bale weigh?

Almost none here, either little squares or big round.

Depends on the bale these are 6:5 feet long this load averaged 340 pounds per bale . There are two in the load the other day that i baled with the pressure turned of so i could clean the baler out so they are really light . The 4x4x8 weigh about 1300 pounds a 3x4 weighs about 900 . Bought some 3x3 out of a silage baler that weighed 700 .

He's not pulling it with a semi tractor either.

That is dense.

You’re right I don’t think this is enough truck

With our NH 2000s I can get straw 750-950 depending on windrow size and moisture.. good alfalfa i can do 1200-1400..

I was recently baling barley straw.. Following a JD with a 30 FT header.. a 3x4x8 was 42 plunger strokes..

Wow, those bales are just about brochure material. Has to be a good feeling after all the fuss over the baler.

Is that a 28' gooseneck?
