I roll most of my hay and have always baled by the look of my tires. If the tires look dirty the hays still dry, if the tires look clean get off and check hay for moisture, if the tires look wet it's time to stop.
One year it was hot and dry so started baling late in the afternoon. As it got dark I keep watching the tires and they stayed dry and dirty so I keep baling. When I finished the field I looked at my watch, it was 2:00 am.
