question about squared bales

[Seedy]

My sense of scale may be off, it may have been piles of the 5 -6 foot bales. It would've been the area south of Sacramento, probably hay.

Just lile real life a round baler while not as fast requires less horspower to run and is generally less expensive.A farmer with no need for a larger tractor might find a round baler a better option. Big square baler is not only more effienct but makes flatbed hauling a much better option. Anything not local is usually square bales. The square bales we get late season fit just fine in round bale feeders. Straw bales though I think round bales are better for outside storage and making bedding packs. Its not a clear upgrade path for farmers though. Biggest trap for anyone dealing with machinery is that bigger is better.
