[QUOTE="jt, post: 577339, member: 238"] good points made in this thread and the one bighappy referred to. thanks for the replies. i am trying to get more like bigbull and cut my winter feed bill by grazing more. i guess my beef has been with the custom balers who want to roll you a 5x5 bale that is only 52-54 inches tall and you can stick your arm up into them up to your elbow, all for the sake of getting more rolls. i have tried to get them to charge more and roll bigger bales, but that is hard to do and it upsets some of them if you ask. i guess they take it personal, but the only people i have been able to get good rolls from consistently has been those who roll their own and sell the excess. i am not trying to cut the total $'s charged, just get it in good rolls. that is why i asked what i did at the beginning of this thread. i have a field that has been yielding about 65-70 rolls per cutting on the 5x5 rolls. had a friend that just got his own equipment for his own use (he is not in the hay business) come in and roll mine this time. since he was a friend i could talk him into it LOL.. he rolls 4x5 rolls and i got 56 of the best rolls i have ever gotten rolled on that field. that is the difference i am talking about. just ramblin and wondering that if i could get someone to do it by the hour, they would roll good rolls and not worry about the number of rolls. jt [/QUOTE]
