Our hay farmer is going to round bales because of
his age and the lack of good help. We have been with him for about 4 years
and his hay is wonderful. So, it is time for us to make a change.
The bales are only 500# and two people can push them around. They are the
equivalent of about 10 sq. bales. We have only 4 horses
presently. Is using a pitch fork the most effective way of removing
the hay you want from the bale? We have an electric shrub trimmer and are
going try to 'trim' some pieces off of it. Has anyone tried that
method?
