By sweat, since of course hay does not sweat, I assume that you are asking how long will it take for it to dry down to a moisture level where it will stop molding and the temperature will drop. This is also assuming that 70lb. bales are substantially heavier than what you normally make since most small squares weigh 35 to 55 lbs. Another question to the picture is that hay needs to be down to 18% to not heat up, so a 15% reading doesn't make sense. My answer is that it will take not hours or days but weeks before the moisture can ever so slowly work its way out. When I am asked about heavy bales here locally I advise people to put them on edge with space on all five sides in order to prevent heat build up. If you want to just prevent fire you need to keep them separated so that heat can't build up. If you want to prevent mold you need to load them up and open them up on some dry ground, tedd them out and let the sun dry it.

And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
