[QUOTE="badaxemoo, post: 634463, member: 3926"] I'm thinking about switching from a square baler to a round baler. I still like putting up squares and have a couple of boys who will be big enough to help me in the near future, but I would like the time and labor savings. My question is: What are some of the upsides and downsides of smaller round bales (800-1000) vs. larger (1500+). I might be putting up hay on shares on a farm ten miles away, so I was thinking the larger bales would be more efficient, but will also require me to have an upgrade in tractor hp. I think I would also have less loss during outdoor storage, although with my grassy hay, I don't seem to lose a lot anyway. Are there any advantages to the smaller round bales? Any reccomendations on balers. I was thinking of looking at a JD430. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
