[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1821069, member: 19817"] I quut about 99% of my custom baling this year. The 40 bales I did were at $35 for a 4x5.5 roll weighing about 1150lbs average. The way equipment/fuel/parts/everything prices a have inflated the last few years it is really a money losing endeavor. If your hay guy is cutting/tedding/raking/baling/hauling bales for $~21 I would bet my farm his costs are more than that. If he likes operating for free and losing money then I would be hiring him to do my hay as well. As the owner of 100% paid for late model hay equipment if somebody would bale my hay for less than probably $35 per bale I would park mine and watch them work. [/QUOTE]
