I suspect Dave is just trying and failing to be clever. It’s clear from his posts on here that he has no clue about agriculture.

Correct.

 

[Highland Mule]

Correct.

Well do the forum a favour and stop it then please. It’s neither big nor clever and getting rather tiresome.

The OP never said anything about the size of bales. To keep you happy, I will bail out.

Usually 42 - 46 if they are decent bales. I once picked up a load and fitted 62 in, but only did that once!!

So with a bit more muscle you could have got 72 in?

I always got 60 in.
4 rows of 15.
4 stacked alternately, 3 high and then 3 on top

So. A bit of brain usage can work wonders after all!

They were the smallest bales I have ever seen, that's why I didn't go back to buy any more...!

14 foot with a high roof, maybe.

I think 40 is more usual for my loads in the DP120.

I probably bale a bit smaller.
A slightly bigger bale and I can't fill the trailer anything like as well.
4 bales length ways, 2 x 2 the other way, another 4 length ways and then only 3 on top due to curvature of the roof.
I can do that 4 times.

Post No 9 I thought you were going to bail out but you’re still going.
Given the subject matter in discussion I’m surprised you didn’t say bale out, too much Guinness tonight maybe, not as sharp as usual
