[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1278939, member: 14713"] +1. Most of these posts are not taking into account the pressure the baler operates under. My old baler with spring tension made 5x5 bales weighing about 800 lbs. I still make 5x5 bales with my 2000 model baler and hydraulic tension, but the same 5x5 dimension bales weigh 1300 lbs. Truckers here do not like to deal with anything less than a modern full size 5x6 bale. A couple winters ago I unloaded a couple truckloads of 5x6 bales for my aunt. IIRC, 28 bales per load. Same truck, same driver, hay from the same source, on 2 different days. Those bales weighed just over 1700 lbs. I could easily handle one bale at a time on the loader. Tried it and was successful once, but loader did not want to lift 2 bales at a time :P [/QUOTE]
