Website for the bale guys.

Here is a neat website. I know 2 farms I been to has this set up. And it really has improved their operation. On handling straw.

Ok, so by looking at the pictures, I take it that it takes a big square bale, runs it through the "separator", and then carries it by conveyor to another baler that is waiting to re-bale it... so I'm thinking they're doing this because its easier to move big squares than smalls more efficiently?

*Shrugs* seems like it would be easier and more efficient to small square it right away and then use a bale wagon to come through behind the baler... I'll let Gordy chime in on this one...

See now i see a different side to this story. I would love to have one of those set ups you could make your big bales store them away and when someone needs small squares you make some. I hate making small squares in the field. This system would solve this problem. There are a lot of horse farms here that can't handle a big square or a round bales. With a system like this you could solve there problems.

It is good for a bale business. As you get bulk storage, sell in bulk, or small bales for the small customer. And you can work the bales lot better.

One farm has a set up and makes nearly 2,000 acres in straw. To me why "play" with small baling equipment in a large operation. When you have large balers to have better efficiency. Here is a good example. Lets say you have 2,000 acres of straw to bale. You can round bale it all with 2 balers, or have about 3-4 small squares doing it. This set up is meant to save time, fuel, labor, and cost.

Not saying nothing bad. But my display bales the same amount as Jay Hassert of TTT. I use 2 round balers with this set up. Meanwhile he uses like 4 small squares. I use less than 1/2 of the tractors and man power. So looking at the 2 which you think is running more efficient? Plus you can now do large squares that can really handle the hay. And you can bale behind a larger header too without problems.

Gordy hit this one right on the head. Im thinking that this solves alot of labor problems with small squares. Id love to have one, we bale everything in rounds, but lately we have had alot of calls from smaller horse owners wanting small squares, now Im all for selling high quality horse hay but Im not to keen on the whole "labor" situation, its very hard to find help to pick up smalls and I realy dont like to work that hard. lol. smalls take a whole lot of extra equipment to do effciently, unless you realy like picking them up and unloading them by hand. Plus with net wrap these days rounds dont need to be stored inside to maintane quality. Anyway thats how I kind of look at it.
