I loved the freedom baling with one of these gave me. If you prepared everything right, and raked the hay the way you are supposed to(double windrow with the 2 just touching), DRY hay into baler, bales best in the late afternoon/evening. You could bale, and leave it till later. I used to take a 4 wheeler with a snowplow, and push 10-12 bales together (redneck accumulator) then p/u with whatever truck was available, usually a 1 ton dumptruck. As to one of the prior posters saying that they took up too much space-pure poppycock! You could get a larger tonnage of hay into the same space with the round bales, cause they settle a little after you stack'em. By the time the next cutting comes along, you've got a little more space to use. Also not mentioned is the fact that the round baler doesn't have a blade that chops the hay into flakes, like square balers do. Whole hay with no cut stems means cows don't get stuck in the nose as often, are more likely to eat more. The only thing wrong with the system was that the bales were too small as compared to today's round bales, or I'd still be using the one I had a few years ago.
