The number of bales that can fit onto a semi will depend on the width and length of the semi's trailer and the overall cubic feet of each bale. A standard semi trailer in North America can be 8 feet to 8 feet 6 inches wide by 13 feet 6 inches high and anywhere from 28 to 53 feet long. Small square hay bales are usually 5.25 to 6 cubic feet. So if multiple the height by width, by length, you'll get the cubic feet of the trailer, you then divide that number by the cubic feet of the hay bales to figure out how many will fit in each size of trailer.

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 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 bales of alfalfa can you get from an acre?
That all depends on the size and type of bales you have, as well as the forage biomass of that field. Bales come in not just one size, they come in small square, large square, small round and large round bales. Forage biomass is also different from year to year, depending on current seasonal conditions (moisture, sunlight, soil) for your area.
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?

How many conventional bales of hay in a ton?
Define "conventional." There are many types of bales that are considered conventional from small squares to large round.
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 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.

Horse hey weigh how many lbs?

How many small square bales are in a large round bale?
That is a tricky question as there are different sizes of square bales ranging from around the 40# to almost 500# weights (those BIG square bales are starting to be used more and more because the shape makes them easier to get an efficient stack and pack then cover. Round bales are the same- In some places I've seen very small round bales in the 40-60# range (not often- and usually saw them in Easter Canada), and the really big bales can weigh close to a ton. The baler, and the forage being baled makes a huge difference in weights and sizes. When buying round bales ask the dimension 4x4, 4x5 and 4x6 are common Then ask what the hay mixture is, and ask the weight of the bales. A good hay "man" will know the answer to all 3 questions. Balers can be set differently to pack loose or really tight bales Tight bales of second cutting 4x4 alfalfa will weigh more than tight 4x4 of a timothy bromegrass and of couse weigh more than a looser bale of same dimensions and forage type. Also ask if the bales are stored under cover or in the field. Undercover bales will have little waste, but are handled more so usually cost a little more.
