The big square bales (970# for $35 here) are great bargains…if you are set up to handle them…not such a deal if you don’t have the equipment!! Getting them “unstacked” isn’t the problem…hook a hay hook to a long heavy rope hooked to the truck…its getting them “in” and stacked that is the issue!!

Cut the bales in half. Then you’ll have 4x4x4. Retie the bales with several wraps of twine. If you need to compress the bales to tie, use two 27 foot cargo straps with ratchet binders. Then use your tractor to handle the bales.[/QUOTE]
That is a wonderful idea!
