How much would a soft core large square hay bale cost in Colorado?

Your question is flawed. You can never have a "soft core" large square hay bale. Soft or hard core only applies to large round bales, not square bales.


How much does a ton of hay weigh?

A ton!


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 much does an average flake of hay weigh?

Depends on the type of hay and how tightly the hay was baled, as well as how big of flakes the baler was set to.


How many square bails of hay does it take to weigh a ton?

It would depend on what type of hay how much it would cost, also whether it was a small square, a large square, a soft core bale or a hardcore bale. Small square weigh between 75 & 100 lbs, large square are around 800 lbs but can be heavier, soft core around 1200 lbs and large core up to 1800 lbs. It will also depend on whether there is a drought in the area where you want to buy bales.


How many pounds does a 4 ft by 4 ft bale of hay weigh?

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).


What do you call the huge bales of hay?

Large round bales, if they're round, or large square bales, if they are rectangular-shaped.


How much does a square straw bale weigh?

"Average" doesn't mean very much in this case. I suppose you could say the average is about 1,000 pounds or so, since hay bales can range from as little as 40 or 50 pounds to well over 2,000 pounds.

How much area does a spread bale of hay cover?

That really depends on the size and weight of the bale, as well as the depth of the cover. One large round bale of hay can be unrolled for at least 20 or 30 yards with a depth of 8 inches, where as a small square will only cover 5 square feet of area if all the flakes were put together in a square or rectangle.
