[QUOTE="Dave, post: 557003, member: 498"] I know some people who use an electric chain saw to slice round bales. They claim it works well for them. The type of chain wouldn't matter so much as keeping it real sharp so it cuts the hay rather than pulling it out of the bale into the sprocket. Actually back baring (using the top of the saw bar) might work because it would be pushing the hay away from the motor rather than pulling to the motor. I have another friend who sets the bales on the flat side and just unrolls it using a pitch fork and walking around the bales. It works fine but I wouldn't want to feed too many using this method.
