[QUOTE="TheLazyM, post: 370499, member: 3117"] I dont know those answers. I cut 5 acres a week. I bag all 5 acres I empty the bag out in a hayring right when it fills up. Like i said i feed it right when i get it. If i had it to store. I think the first thing i would do it lay it down and let it dry. Now how much you get at a time will depend on how fecible this is for you. I think to gather it back up i would use a sweeper or rebag it. Again what ever makes it easier on you. I think I would cut the bottom off a 55 gal drum. I'm thinking about the kind that has a removeable lid whith the lock ring. I would turn the barrel upside down and put the dried grass in the barrel and press it tight. Then all you have to do is lay the barrel on it's side and push the grass right on thru. If it works it should look like a wierd looking bale of hay. I dont know how much handling the bales are going to be able to take if any. If this did'nt work for me then i would try putting the grass in the barrel as soon as i got it and let it dry inside the barrel. If you have some one to help ya. Ya could lay some twine on the ground and put the barrel right on top of the twine and yoyu or someone else could pick up the barrel and the other try to tie the bale. I would'nt waste alot of time on this. If I could'nt get this baling thing to work for me I would just build me a crip and just store the sun dried grass in it. I think this would be a good prodject for a site to play with. Of corse it sure would give cattle raisers a whole new resource. Face it the price of fuel, chemicals, grain, and everything else is'nt going to come back down. The price of cattle aint going to get much better.
