Difference in 4ft to 5 fy rounds in rough weight

[Surgery]

What extra would you get in a round bale if the same bailer did 4ft and 5ft bales , belt baler , thanks

56% Volume weight is harder to quantify

Yes can understand weight has variables but roughly as much as 50% volume , that’s a lot more than I thought , thanks

Over twice as much in a 6ft round bale than a 4 ft round

Not quite, need to multiply height as well

V = πr2h

 

[Sid]

V = πr2h

Bit early for that sort of stuff

Couldnt work out how to type power figures on here though

Do you have a fraction of how much less in mind? ⅕ ⅔ ½

Hold the number key on smart phone

Won't h stay the same if they're out of the same baler? Or can that dimension be varied as well?

 

[Fat Lamb]

33%in the outer 6".
That's a lot of bale getting wet /damp and turning to crap if stored outside.

Height is same

Is that straw or silage. Belt bales in straw are more compact

You mis typed 5x5
Its a very long time since we had a 5 ft wide baler

Well spotted,
Changed.

To make it simple, 2x5ft bales = 3x4ft bales.

Although not one to get in the way of a good TFF debate on bale sizes. Square bales anyone.......???
