That is a tricky question as there are different sizes of square bales ranging from around the 40# to almost 500# weights (those BIG square bales are starting to be used more and more because the shape makes them easier to get an efficient stack and pack then cover. Round bales are the same- In some places I've seen very small round bales in the 40-60# range (not often- and usually saw them in Easter Canada), and the really big bales can weigh close to a ton. The baler, and the forage being baled makes a huge difference in weights and sizes. When buying round bales ask the dimension 4x4, 4x5 and 4x6 are common Then ask what the hay mixture is, and ask the weight of the bales. A good hay "man" will know the answer to all 3 questions. Balers can be set differently to pack loose or really tight bales Tight bales of second cutting 4x4 alfalfa will weigh more than tight 4x4 of a timothy bromegrass and of couse weigh more than a looser bale of same dimensions and forage type. Also ask if the bales are stored under cover or in the field. Undercover bales will have little waste, but are handled more so usually cost a little more.

How many small bales are in a 3x3 bale?
That depends on what type of bale you're referring to. If you're referring to small square bales, that would be about four. If you're referring to small round bales, that would be only one. Large squares: one third. Large round bales, one half.
How many small bales of hay in a large square bale?
if i understand you right, you are asking how many square bales = 1 large round bale, and by large i think you mean 5 wide bales, 5x5, 5x5.25, 5x5.50, 5x6 ect. the answer is 20 - 35 small two wire bales.
How many bales of alfalfa can you get from an acre?
That all depends on the size and type of bales you have, as well as the forage biomass of that field. Bales come in not just one size, they come in small square, large square, small round and large round bales. Forage biomass is also different from year to year, depending on current seasonal conditions (moisture, sunlight, soil) for your area.
How many square bales of hay does it take to lightly mulch one acre?
An acre is 43,560 square feet. Most small square bales would lightly cover at least 2x10 ft, but more likely 2x15 ft . Therefore; 43,560 divided by 30 (if each square bale covers 30 sq/ft as an average) = 1,452 square bales. If the bales are larger (round bales), obviously fewer bales would be required. Large round bales would likely provide at least 10X the coverage so likely in the range of 145 round bales
Is the big bales of hay cheaper than the small bales or is the big bales cheaper?
Generally yes, if it's grass hay the big round bales will be cheapest, then the big square ones and lastly the small square bales will be most expensive. Alfalfa hay will cost more than grass hay of course.
How many conventional bales of hay in a ton?
Define "conventional." There are many types of bales that are considered conventional from small squares to large round.
What do you call a ton of hay?
One ton = 2200 lbs (A long ton is 2200 lbs whereas a short ton is 2000 lbs.) A ton of hay is usually one large round bale of hay. Large square bales are often 1000 lbs, so a ton could mean 2 of these bales. Furthermore, small square bales weigh around 75 lbs, so a ton of small squares could equal around 27 to 30 bales of hay.
How many small square bales of hay in a big square bale?
If by one roll of hay, you actually mean a round bale, it is approximately 40. The actual number depends on the density and size of either bale. With modern equipment becoming ever more impressive, I've heard of some round bales being equivalent to nearly 55 square bales, but when packing round bales to these densities, balers are severely stressed and its operating life is greatly reduced. A better way to figure it out is by weight. A 1100 lb round bale has approx. 17/ 65lb square bales Not all round bales are created equal, you need to ask the weight of the bales then divide the # of square bales at the weight your square bales are.
How many small square bales of hay are in a large square bale?
It depends on a lot of different factors, including the type of forage you're baling, where you live, soil quality and type, forage type, whether or not you irrigated and/or fertilized, and so on. Plus, not all round balers are the same. Some will drop heavier bales than others.
How many small bale of hay in a 3x3x8 square bale?
Depends on the weight of the bales (both the small squares and large round) and whether that bale is comprised of hay or straw. All bales of hay, straw or baleage are sold in terms of weight (in tons or pounds), not size. Not all LRB's are going to be 5x5; a lot of them range from 4x5 to 6x6. And even then it also depends on how densely packed they are, which ultimately affects their weight. However, let's assume your asking about a 5x5 1500 lb LRB and wondering how many SSBs (assuming they are around 75 lbs each) fit into that particular bale or bales with that similar weight. So, 1500 / 75 = 20 bales; thus it is estimated that 20 SSBs will fit into one 5x5 LRB assuming the weights are what they are.
Where is hay stored?
That depends on the hay bales. Small square bales are always going to be stored in a shed. Large squares can also be stored in a shed, but they can also be stored outside with a tarp thrown over top to shed moisture. Large round bales are stored outside, and stacked so that they slick off as much moisture as possible: storing them in a mushroom-shape (bottom bale is flat-side down and the top bale is put on top with the round side on the top of the bottom bale) with a few inches in between each stack is the best way to store large round bales.
How many regular sized bales of hay are in a 36X60 large bale?
What do you mean "regular sized?" There's no such thing as a "regular" sized bale, especially when you don't specify what type of bale you are referring to: large round, small square, small round or large square? And what units of measurement are you using? Are you using inches, feet, centimeters, meters? Please be more specific in your question so you can get a proper answer!
