[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1485443, member: 32659"] Been unrolling hay for several years, can’t imagine going back to rings. I feed about 30#’s per head and cut my hay usage nearly in half by unrolling. One of the keys I’ve found to getting the entire bale to unroll is to unroll it the way it was rolled up. This can be done by feeling the end of the bale. I haven’t had any problems with calves getting stepped on or weaker older cows not getting to eat since we started unrolling either. I never have had trouble with it being too muddy to unroll but our tractor does have wider tires. Only down fall I see is having to do it every day. It’s a real pain after dark too. If raining really hard I do just set out a few rolls and then try to clean up the mess when it dries up. [/QUOTE]
