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.

∙ 14y agoThe size of hay bales vary with the settings of the baler. The size of hay wagons also vary. Additionally, some hay wagons can bear more weight than others can, and the terrain will also play a part in how much can be carried. Driving on the flat with an enormous pile of hay is fairly easy, but going up a hill or turning sharply can cause problems. Measuring your bales and your wagon are the best way to determine how many will be able to fit in the space you have. Watch your tires and their clearance to the fenders of the wagon as a guide to the maximum weight it can hold.

∙ 12y agoThe answer to this question is difficult because small square bales can have different sizes and weights, as can the large square bales of hay. These sizes are set by the farmer according to what he wants. Most small squares of grass hay weigh about 30 - 40 pounds. The average sized large square in the Midwest of the US are usually around 1000 pounds. This means there are about 34 bales in a large bale.

Using these dimensions, you can probably haul over 110 large squares on an 18-wheeler trailer if they are stacked properly and tied down.

∙ 9y agoThis can vary greatly based on what bale size you are going by and how big the round bale is. For hay bales you should never measure by volume, but instead by weight. To do that you need the weight of the round bale and the weight of the smaller bales. You'll need to divide the round bale weight by the smaller bales weight to get your answer. For example a 600 pound round bale would equal 15 small 40 pound bales of hay by weight.

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 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 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.
How many square bales are in a round bale?
q 4'x6' round bale makes 25 bales a 5'x6' makes 30 bales
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 large square bales of hay per acre?
75-100 bales depending on the type of hay, 1st or 2nd cutting , and the size of the bale.
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
How many square feet does a bail of pine straw cover?
It will depend on the size of the bale. Bales come in different sizes, but most will cover somewhere between 20 square feet to 120 square feet at about 2.5 to 3 inches deep. Ask that question when purchasing your bales since the size does vary considerably and some bales are machined compressed and some are hand compressed. For that reason, just looking at a bale and comparing the sizes does not always tell you how many square feet a particular bale will cover.
Horse hey weigh how many lbs?
Small square bales generally weigh between 55-80 lbs. Three strand bales can weigh in excess of 100 lbs. There are considerably larger bale sizes that range in weight from 600-2000 lbs.
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!
How many small hay bales to one large round bale?
This will entirely depend on cubic feet of each bale. with only 5 foot as the measurement it is impossible to give a 100% accurate answer. However where I live they sell 5'x6'x5' and 6'x6'x5' round bales each size having a variable weight depending upon the type of hay and when it was baled. Lets assume that the small square bales are 16"x14"x41" (Again a locally sold size). For the first round bale 5x5x6 the cubic feet would be 150 cubic feet, for the small bale it would be roughly 5.3 cubic feet. That means that 28.3 small bales would be needed to equal the same size as the round bale. The second bale is larger at 6x6x5 which equals 180 cubic feet, you would need roughly 33.9 small bales. However overall bale size (Dimensions and weight) is variable according to the type of hay used, growing conditions of the hay, and the baler used. It is over all more accurate to go by weight rather than volume.
How many bales in a squeeze of hay?
In our area a sqeeze of hay can be anywhere from 50 to 64 bales......depending on how much they weigh....weight is a big factor when calculating cost per bale and number of bales on a per ton basis..... Dana Hoyer Paulden, Arizona
