So you got your square baler rigged with some kind of buffered acid or Hayguard type preservative and you are baling at say - 25% moisture.
With or without the preservative, the high moisture square bales are going to come out of the baler heavier than say a - a bale at 15% moisture.
Unlike my old New Holland 68, your fancy baler has hydraulic compression or an air bag compressing the bale chamber vs cranks - so you are getting a pretty consistently dense bale of hay.
