The Farming Life this person does large squares I’m just not there yet in my business. I try and average 30,000 small squares of grass hay and about 1000 4x5 round bales per year but growing fast. Sometimes I feel to fast and I hold back but eventually I want a setup similar to this and a large square baler for getting the hay out of the field. Our main focus is quality hay. Our main customer is the horse person where I live we also have horses and cows of our own which I plan to show more of soon. It’s still raining in South Carolina but looks like a break in weather coming Friday.

all you make is work

Time and efficiency is what it boils down to. We can produce large square bales or round bales much faster with much less labor. Then square bales can be made to order rain or shine loaded into semi vans and shipped anywhere. It all boils down to labor costs and economics. You can do a couple thousand small squares in less than an 8hr day in a barn with this machine. Hard to to that in the field with just 2 men and 2 tractors and that’s what runs the whole rebaler.

@@SLCFarms Thank you so much . That explained a lot me .

@@bobsandone3108 watch last 10 minutes of video. Its all explained

mccken1 just depends on the baler. We shoot for a 45# square bale. My personal round bales i make are 61” and weight average is 850# out of a claas baler. My buddy has a deere and makes a 58-59” bale and his are 575#. The biggest round the rebaler can handle is a 4x5 or 4x4 big squares.

Actually its not. Its very cost effective and efficient as we can make hay to order year round rain or shine. Less labor in the field in the barn and on delivery. You’d really be surprised when you put pen to paper. Especially if you do over 10k small squares a year and dont have help. We average about 30k smalls a year

around $1.50 per square bale .

@@SLCFarms not to bad but better if you had your own. How's everything going since your vacation

@@cntslesfabrication slow been getting lots of afternoon showers so not much haying . i hope to start cutting again tomorrow night .

@@SLCFarms that sucks the big one if you need any help just let me know I will jump on airplane and come help you. Nothing going on out here for me which sucks but I'm not scared to work

So you’re telling us that they will bale and bundle them up for 1.5 per bale. In east Texas baling fee alone is going about 3:50+ So he’s looking at volume Thanks for the great video. I do the 10 bale Accumalator with grapple system. It’s not as smooth as his operation!!

$1.50 per bale. Used to be a dollar 💵

SLC Farms I am thinking of doing rounds and square baling later. How many acres do you do and what are you able to sell your small bales for? Thanks

Duke Dog Tom production is the main reason.

2k + squares a day loaded in semis rain or shine winter spring and summer. Also we can purchase round bales or large squares of different varieties at a lesser cost and rebale for the horse and straw market. With our climate and humidity and land layouts it’s hard to do that kind of productivity. This machine made over 200k small squares last year alone. Tough to do that in the field.

@@SLCFarms thanks for answering my question. Makes since to me. Good luck to y'all. We're running a beef and grain farm here in central Virginia, orange county. It's a cool operation ya got down there
