Round Hay Bales Just Off The Baler In A Country Field Stock Photo

Round balers have become quite popular, as much more hay can be put into a round bale, upwards of 1,000 pounds, depending on the size of the baler. This is by far the most labor efficient way to put up bales, as the labor needed to handle small square bales is eliminated. Round bales also do not need to be immediately picked up out of the field like small squares, but certainly the sooner the better. Round bales can be handled with simple spears that go on front end loaders or three point hitch attachments. They are also a much better choice for people with allergies, as the hay is not handled anywhere near as much as small square bales are.
