Round bale haylage

[Slant78]

What are everyone’s experiences with round bale weights in haylage around 25% moisture? Thinking of buying some just looking an idea of what they should be. Thanks.

@Forage Trader should know..

I know chopped silage at 32%DM through a fusion 2 is around 810-820kg/bale.

a lot depends on what they are baled with , our 4ft soft centre welgars arnt that heavy can roll them if needed , so easy lift , with small tractor , but obvs less feed per bale

Our round haylage we make ourselves are about 350kgs. Quite dry stuff. Got round bale hay here that’s bought in, weighs 320kgs. Their baled unbelievably tight though.

400 to 450 kg
