[QUOTE="canoetrpr, post: 805858, member: 4892"] Very interesting thoughts folks. I'm glad I posted. I figure if I built a building it wouldn't be much less than a 30'x60' pole barn. Guess I could work on getting at least two sides covered up over the years to keep more weather out. I don't have a desperate nee for another building. I've got a pretty nice shop where I store my equipment although it would be nice to get some of it out of the so that I can get to something without having to move other stuff. I imagine if I went to squares I might be able to get by with less room. My little Kubota makes it hard to stack rounds 3 high well. Squares would allow me less wasted space. The bale bonnet is looking like a pretty good option right now. SRBeef - do I understand correctly that the wrapping machine takes 10 minutes per bale? I don't think I can afford near that much time! 1982vet - the website talks about securing the bonnet with nails. Kinda worried about the idea of having nails left around in my bales. We plan to get down to getting one hay delivery or so in the fall. There is a lot of freezing and thawing going on at that time so I think it does make sense to cover with something. [/QUOTE]
