[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1141576, member: 9267"] My bale feeder will handle either. I prefer rounds. With the larger squares four or five flakes hanging over the edge of the feeder can fall off as soon as the strings are cut. If I did have to hand feed (I've done this with silage for a farmer who didn't maintain his tractor and equipment) I'd choose large squares over rounds. Had a 'near miss' one time driving up a slight slope with two squares stacked on the FEL - they're easy to pick up two or even three at a time. What I didn't anticipate was that when you hit a slope the top one might decide to roll in your direction... luckily it headed off to the side without even taking the exhaust pipe along. [/QUOTE]
