[QUOTE="moses388, post: 1756362, member: 27368"] What is the make/model of your roll baler? Some people might have tips. You are new to roll baling. Bales should get better with more experience. Remember to gradually swerve while baling - left, center, right, center, left, repeat. Hay goes in left side of pickup, it wraps on left side of the bale. Should be a gauge that tells you if the bale is balanced. I leave bales set out about 2 days to air. Longer if the hay was nasty. You can move the bales off the field, but I would wait to stack them inside. I have heard that roll bales can heat if they are stacked in a shed immediately after baling. It's the opposite with small squares - you are always trying to get them put away before the weather changes. Unusual rain events. Yeah, I had 4.5" one day. Maybe a week later it dumped another 3.75". I am behind, too, due to a mechanical failure. And I try to make creek fence repairs here and there due to the flood. It's always something... [/QUOTE]
