    I have owned a round baler and made 1000’s of them over the years, mine weighted around 800lbs/365kg for straw and up to 1000lbs/450kg for alfalfa per bale. Cows ain’t kicking 1000lbs of alfalfa around nor should they. What a waste of feed and money.

    But, one in the truck and towing 9 more on the trailer with a 2015 Dodge Ram Hemi around 30 miles per load…Fooken’ amateurs.

      We cut mixed grasses for “hay” . Some of the bales at the bottom that are from the last year we roll into their sleeping area for bedding and they go crazy and stomp them all over the place. Cows are scary powerful
