Just wondering what sorta' production is out there and what is "normal" for balers.
I have a 336 baler. In 1 ton or less hay I can bale at about 3 (or 3 1/2) acres per hour. In roughly 2 ton hay I'm baling at about 1 1/4 acres an hour. How does this compare to others. In either case I'm making about 100 60lb bales per hour.
At this rate I'm feeding to where the hay is almost wrapping the bale chamber end of the auger.
Somehow it seems I should be able to cover more ground than this, but???? Baling 50 acres I've spent about 25 hours on the baler???
