[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 857859, member: 8829"] frt and logistics still make it economically unfeasible say you haul 20 bales and get 10mpg for 600 miles that is $225 plus the what you have in the hay the owner of the hfrs hauls them 600 miles and everything being the same he has $225 in the haul then hauls they hay back so he has $550 plus the cost of hfrs in hay so lets say the hay is worth $20 pr bale 20 bales = 400 so if he traded you one hfrs fo 20 bales plus his 550 in gas those 20 bales of hay cost him a minnimum of 47.50 pr bale and and in reality if she was a 4wt hfr she should bring $600 so he actually has 1150 in 20 rolls of hay and the actual cost pr bale would be $57.50 pr bale why would he do that when he could stay at home not have to worry about breakdowns or any other expenses and sell that hfr at the barn and go buy hay for an extra $10 pr bale like I said frt and logistics is what is running the hay prices up NOT the actual price of the hay [/QUOTE]
