[QUOTE="stocky, post: 326529, member: 1150"] I use an axe. That is the fastest way when the ice covers the bale. Sissel string is fine when you bring the hay to the lot and the lot is close to the field to feed. If you are going to sell the hay later or if you are going to move it a few times or move it a long distance with a bale spear on the pickup after the string rots, it can present a problem. The string will rot in a month or two here. Net reduces waste but is a time consuming pain to deal with. Plastic twine wont rot so quickly, but also is time consuming. If you have enough barn space close to each pasture, then you have a great combination of sissel twine and dry hay. But very few have enough barns for all the hay or barns close enough to each pasture or hayfield. [/QUOTE]
