The weight of a hay bale can vary widely depending on what type of crop was baled, what type of bale you are referring to and how heavy the baler operator wanted to make the bales. The lightest bales you will find are composed of straw. Straw bales are typically lighter than a hay bale, no matter how tightly packed they are, because there is very little moisture to add to the weight of that bale. Grass-hay-only bales are a little heavier, but grass-legume-mix bales are even heavier. The heaviest bales tend to be those that are comprised of only legume-hay. However, hay aside, silage bales (or baleage) are the heaviest, no matter what type they are: small square, large square or large round.
Small square bales made up of grass-hay like timothy may weigh only around 60 to 75 lbs, whereas one made up of alfalfa that is clean and nicely compacted can weigh upwards of 130 lbs. Large square bales can weigh around 1000 to 1800 lbs (again, depending on the fodder), and large round bales (those that are 4 ft. by 4 ft. or 5 ft. by 6 ft.) can weigh around a ton (2000 to 2200 lbs).

∙ 7y agoThe weight of a bale of hay is going to vary enormously according to what type of bale, size of the bale, type of hay and moisture level. A small two-string square bale typically weights 35 to 55 pounds. A larger three-string bale can weigh from 60 to 140 pounds on average. Round bales vary from 500 to 1200 pounds according to how tightly baled they are.

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.

about 3-4 flakes depending on the crop of hay This really depends on the hay quality, cutting of hay, species of forages in the hay and the baler. I've had 80 # bales with 20 flakes in a bale and others with 5 flakes. the same baler with the same settings can also have bales weighing from 50# to 100#. The best thing to do is take a representative sampling from the bales, weigh them and weigh individual flake and take an average.
