Can't even call bale's of hay stupid anymore,,,,,what's next ?
The answer to his question does he have enough hp for a big square baler the answer is no he needs minimum 150 hp MFWD tractor for a big square baler . If he was doing round bales he has enough hp if the fields are fairly level and no big hills .
I guess I didn't "pick up" on the big Square bale question... Not nearly as many outfits that use the big squares - just figured he meant rounds!
The big square balers cost 2.5X more than a big round balers and you need a 1.5X larger tractor. That means you gotta have 5X more money!!!

Can someone exlpain the benefit of large squares? The only time I see them around here is the occasional truckload on the interstate, so I'm not familiar. One of the benefits of big rounds is being able to store them outside. Other than stackability for people with the barn space, I can't think of any benefit of the large squares. They sure look nice, but that only goes so far.
