[QUOTE="willie waver, post: 506978, member: 1353"] get your bales in as soon as dry quick history lesson here, the advice that you can leave round bales out without them spoiling comes from when round balers first came on the scene. basically they all had string tying mechanisims which took about a minute to wrap round the bale. this was a pain in the arse having to wait for every bale to string, but the advantage was that the bale rolling round the chamber for that long, flattened the outside hay to a nice shiny waterproof skin that could be left in the field for weeks with no damage now modern baler net and spit out the bale in seconds, great for the baler man, not so great for waterproofing the bale. the result being, heavy rain [B]will[/B] seep into the outer inches of your bale and ruin a large percentage of it quality so to recap, if your using an ancient string tie baler, leave em out as long as you want. if its a net wrap, get them feckin in(y) [/QUOTE]
