When I was a kid, (1950's) there was one guy making small round bales, not like the big ones we see today that weigh about 8-900 pounds, these might have weighed 1-200. He was sick one winter and his brother fed for him, and was so frustrated he said anybody who baled his hay in those round things should be castrated! These big ones do require some special equipment to handle, and I think they take up more storage space. My brother in law uses them. And he says there is much less to go wrong with a round baler. Kathleen, I am assuming yours will be chopped before feeding.
