<<The back of the baler had a shoot which shot 50-100 lb bales, depending on moisture content, into the wagon about 15 feet every 10-15 seconds depending on the amount of hay/unit area on the ground, speed of the tractor and such technical variables. >> Those bales get heavier as the day goes on. There should be a way to stack them from the top down instead of having to do the lifting when you're tired. Most of the bales I have dealt with ran around 40 pounds M/L. About 3.5 feet long, longer means more bales will slip the ties. A bayler can be set as to the length of the bale and also compression. More compression = a heavier bale and also needs to be wire tied. A wire tied will run 25% heavier as a rule. People just look at the price when buying hay and that's dumb. $2.50 per bale might get you a 3' twine tied that weighs 30 pounds where another ad at $3.00 may be 3.5' wire tied that comes in at 60 pounds.
