[QUOTE="Earl Thigpen, post: 575019, member: 3999"] I've had quotes for baling hay at anywhere from $14/bale to $25/bale. The $14/bale was baling only with cutting and raking charge on a per acre basis, not per hour. The $25/bale I paid last year was for cut, rake and bale. There's something to be said for the smaller bales even though the cost is higher to the user. It takes less tractor to move the stuff around. I can pick up a 5X6 bale with my 3000 but I can't move it too well because the front wheels are off the ground. Steering with the brakes works but it's not what I'd call the safest way to move your hay. Then one year I moved it off the field by backing out and that works pretty good - still not the smartest thing to do. [/QUOTE]
