[QUOTE="AngusLimoX, post: 390626, member: 3319"] The original question - can a round baler make dry hay ahead of a square baler because it handles hay moisture better - [b]FALSE[/b] - the reverse is true. It is only when you start adding variations and circumstances that the round baler has advantages. I wonder how many others now have this false belief. I find it surprising that so little regard is given to what Diamond has said ( in my opinion Rod is one of the most knowledgeable and credible posters on this board ) - those little "stacks" that he makes are called "stooks". There are 3 bale up to 10 bale versions. The stooks minimize contact with the ground, allow air movement through the bales and allow water to run off. Everyone stooked around here for years, and sheaving and stooking straw/corn has gone on for hundreds of years. Stooks keep hay surprisingly well and many folks fed out of the stooks through the winter not bothering to bring them in to the barn, although the average length of stay in the field was 2 weeks around here.
