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.

The amount of bales will vary according to the type of grass or legume you are growing, how many cutting you get, where you live, your weather, how much/often you fertilized your fields, and the size of your bales.

Depends on how big a large round bale is. Some LRB's are around 2000 lbs, whereas others are a bit more lighter, like around 1200 lbs. But since the average is around at least 1600 lbs, and the average small square bale is around 50 lbs, then 1600/50 = 32 bales.

There is no telling exactly how many small bales of hay you will get from 3 acres of land. This really depends on if the weather was favorable or not.

You can get approximately 100 small bales per acre. This is dependent on the quality of the hay field.

You can usually get three to four rounds per acre of land. This of course will depend upon your land.

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 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.

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 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 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 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 pounds are a round bale of hay?

It depends on how big a bale gets. Some large round bales can weigh up to a ton (2000 lbs), others a little lighter, like around 1200 lbs.
