Default Re: Custom Haying - Dealing With Large Orders?

2000 bales is not that crazy, I would however want to be paid partly in advance. With 2 wagons, hand stacking from the ground and loading a mow in a hay barn we used to do that in a day.

There are lots of ways to handle large numbers of bales, the multiple wagons are a good way when you have a thrower. If you removed your thrower there are easy trail wagons that can be dumped very quickly at the customers. There are also bale accumulators that make packs and you use a grapple to handle them.

Also there are New Holland Bale wagons that pick up the bales and stack them into a stack that comes off the wagon in one piece.

All of these options cost money!
