Hay season again

What size hay bails are those?

What size hay bails are those?

They aren't very consitant, but i'd say roughly 2 x 2 x 4.

In other words they are from a typical older baler.

Cow Chow or Horse Chow. Just bring them to Idaho lots of grass land to munch on...

I have both!!

We don't bale our own, but we buy round bales. We usually end up with 4x5 rolls, but we try to get the 5x6.

 

2 summers ago I helped a friend pick his hay up. There was 3 or 4 of us, and we hauled 1,400 bales from the field to the barn in 2 days. That was some work right there. It was the first week of August too... 100*- 102* outside.

You know, this reminds me of my first "real" job. I was putting up hay with those size bales for a penny a bale when I was 12 years old and thought I was rich!! That was 46 years ago..... Damn, now I feel old...

More haying  . Loving my trailer

 

 

Dangit...   I  had  our   hay trailer on yesterday..  with  'made that day'  green   bales!   Pretty as a picture  hay!

I should've  had the  camera out!

LOL<   same color  pickup as yours,  Maroon,  but  single cab...   I have  a     Atchison  mover,    cradle type... self unloading.    I can  only haul  12 bales though.  

At   1750-1800#'s  each,   that's enough!

I would love to have that whole trailer of hay!

That was 14 bales, we were gong to put two rows on top but wasn't sure how much weight it would be , and didn't really want to meet up with the weigh cop to find out.

You were probably already at your axle rating so it's probably best that you didn't.

And  when you put  2 rows on top...  ya gotta  strap em down..     It's  just  as  fast to   go single row,  take more trips...  than  fool around with  straps!   I used to do it that way,  and  it's  almost guaranteed  the  top row will  cave-out  as  soon as  you release  the binders!... I  hate    running for my life!!!
