£2.85 for 4ft and £3 5ft.

I had a long run out today to do 50 4ft for some one and they were more than happy to pay 3 quid a bale.

I was led to believe a 5 foot bale hold 33% more grass than a 4 foot , could be wrong info though

And there’s twice as much in a 6ft as a 4ft

More like 50% if same density according to pi r squared,but I bet the customer was more than happy looking at the weather through my window tonight

5 foot bale is 56% bigger than a 4 foot.

6 foot bale is 125 % bigger than a 4 foot.

Blimey that should make a 5 footer 4.40ish and a 6 footer 6.40 ish acordi g to my mental arithmetic.

£5 here. Cost of baling and wrapping silage minus the cost of the wrap. Not many people want round bales of hay...

It's almost 50% more

More, almost 2.5 times as much.

As a rule of thumb it's around 10/t for baling hay and straw around here, plus fuel.

You'll use less net and spend less time tieing/ejecting but the customer is saving a lot of time handling less bales.

That’s why I make 6ft bales of hay and straw

I'd be putting a fair bit of net on a 6ft bale!

Don't fancy it bursting on me! A lot of weight of material compressed to contain.

I only put 2.5 turns on and never get any problem
