Difference in 4ft to 5 fy rounds in rough weight

glasshouse · Feb 20, 2021

We got a 5 x6 round baler in 76, it was an ih with the big brass bell which rung when the bale was made.
Hay bales were 600kg
I think there is a place for them now.
Esp if you store outside

That's a lot of bale getting wet /damp and turning to crap if stored outside.

Maybe, but the larger object has less surface area in proportion to volume which is why animals are larger in the north, i.e. less heat loss in proportion. So if you keep your bales outside, you want bigger, not smaller.

Don’t know about weight but I do know there’s a lot more straw in a 5ft bale than a 4ft bale when it’s in the chopper bedding up, tried some 5ft ones this year and a bale does a lot more cattle.

Same reason a baby needs to be wrapped warm

Volume is they are exact 4x4 and 5x4 are 1.4m³ vs 2.2m³
Weighing makes more sense though

Height of bale is width of baler!
Talking about bales sitting like baked bean cans.

then they all 4ft as that’s width of bale chamber
Diameter is what I’d consider as height of bale

Not sure on the weight but I turned the pressure up to full and baled a few 5ft bales.seemed to take forever to make a bale.the baler is a vicon and you can set density of it where ever you like.also dropped a gear give it time to pack it in.

When I put them through the bedder must of been at least half a bale more in it to what I'd normally bale.
