[QUOTE="BJW1967, post: 7736082, member: 11391"] We take it as it comes. The last time I helped collecting the straw form these fields we had baled it ourselves with a Lely Welger RP245 round baler on the back of the McCormick MC115. Watching these two in action was a revelation, just how quickly they get through the job. We loaded in the field with a double spike, taking the rollers of the squeezy. Unloaded at the other end with a Gehl Skid steer and the normal spike we would use for round bales. We found that going 4 high on the trailer was a bit much for the skid steer as it pinged a couple of stings, not quite having the reach, but three high it was fine. Stacked 5 high on the barn with it. These bales fit nicely in the straw chopper and you can cut the strings off without the end of the bale dropping off. Any longer and I guess we'd be picking it up off the floor. (PS, I'm only part time farm working and so have no idea about different presses, etc, that was my ignorance on the topic :) [/QUOTE]
