[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1262223, member: 18809"] I just bought some net wrapped 5 x 6 bales, $45 a bale. I weighed about a half dozen of them as they were being off loaded, averaged 1250 pounds. We just pulled our bales off the field last week (only got 25, but we grazed the field in early spring so there was not as much growth), those bales are 4.5 x 5, and average 1050 pounds. I thought the 5 x 6 would be heavier, and they look tight but when we had the extension out to pull samples for testing he was able to get right in them without much difficulty. Our bales took him a lot more work to pull a core sample, and he noted they were harder to drill. I think ours are tighter... Thus, size does not matter as much as how tight the bale was rolled.
