There is no simple answer to this question. From the time you cut the hay to the time you bale it completely depends on the weather and conditions. Your best bet is to get a moisture reader from your local agriculture store, this will allow you to test the moisture levels of the middle of the bale. This way you can make a couple of bales and then test it using the machine rather then bale a whole field to find out the hay was too wet. A moisture reader costs between $150-$200 but is a great investment as it ensures you will not bale hay that is too wet. -NJC
