Bale Weight Reference \u00b7 All Crops \u00b7 9YF Series<\/p>\n

A small square bale does not have a fixed weight \u2014 it is the outcome of three interacting variables: crop species, moisture at baling and the plunger density setting you run. Alfalfa bales from the same machine at the same length setting can range from 20kg to 38kg depending on these factors. This guide gives realistic weight ranges for every crop type in the 9YF series and explains what drives variation so you can produce the weight your market requires.<\/p>\n

Why Small Square Bale Weight Varies: The Three Variables<\/h2>\n

Variable 1: Crop Species and Stem Structure<\/h3>\n

Different crop species compress to different densities under the same mechanical force because their stem structure, diameter and flexibility differ fundamentally. Alfalfa at 16% moisture has dense, relatively solid stems that pack with fewer voids than grass hay from the same plunger setting. Rice straw has hollow stems with high silica content that spring back after each plunger stroke, producing lighter bales than any other standard baling crop. Corn stover with intact stalks compresses poorly in a standard chamber because the rigid stem bridges across the cross-section \u2014 shredding before compression dramatically changes the result.<\/p>\n

The practical consequence: if you know your plunger density setting and bale length but change crops without recalibrating, your bale weight will change. A setting that produces 24kg alfalfa bales will produce 18\u201320kg grass hay bales and 14\u201316kg wheat straw bales at the same length and density \u2014 three completely different market weights from one unchanged machine setting.<\/p>\n

Variable 2: Moisture at Baling<\/h3>\n

Moisture adds weight to every bale. The same crop baled at 20% moisture weighs approximately 6\u20138% more per unit of bale volume than the same crop baled at 14% moisture, because 6% of the total bale mass is water that is present at 20% but absent at 14%. This seems like a small difference but across a 100-bale calibration run it is the difference between averaging 22kg and averaging 23.5kg \u2014 a 6% variation that can push bales above or below your market target weight without any change in machine settings.<\/p>\n

Variable 3: Plunger Density Setting and Bale Length<\/h3>\n

The plunger density setting (compression force per stroke) and the star wheel trip position (bale length) together determine how much material is packed into each bale before the knotter fires. Increasing density by one full step on the adjuster changes bale weight by approximately 8\u201315% in flexible crops like grass hay \u2014 from 20kg to 22\u201323kg in a typical example. Increasing bale length by one step changes bale weight by a similar margin. The two adjustments interact: the same target weight can be reached at different combinations of density and length, and the market preference for bale dimensions (some buyers have storage constraints) may govern which adjustment you make first.<\/p>\n

Alfalfa Hay: Weight Range by Cutting and Moisture<\/h2>\n

\"small<\/p>\n

\n
\n
First cut alfalfa (14\u201317% moisture)<\/div>\n
22\u201332 kg<\/div>\n

First-cut stems are relatively fine and flexible. At standard density, bales land in the 22\u201326kg range. At maximum plunger density, 28\u201332kg is achievable. The equine market target of 20\u201328kg is easily hit in first cut at moderate density settings.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
Second cut alfalfa (14\u201317% moisture)<\/div>\n
20\u201330 kg<\/div>\n

Second cut is typically lower in yield than first cut and the stems are slightly finer \u2014 bale weight at the same settings is often 1\u20132kg lighter than first cut. High-quality second cut at 16% moisture and standard density: 22\u201326kg is typical.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
Third\/fourth cut alfalfa (14\u201317% moisture)<\/div>\n
18\u201328 kg<\/div>\n

Later cuts have thicker, more mature stems that resist uniform compression in non-shredding machines. At standard density, later-cut bales are often 10\u201315% lighter than first-cut bales. The 9YF-2200S shredder improves density uniformity in late-cut thick-stemmed alfalfa.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
Alfalfa at higher moisture (18\u201322%)<\/div>\n
+8\u201315% heavier<\/div>\n

Baling above 18% moisture adds water weight to every bale. A 24kg bale at 16% moisture from the same setting becomes 26\u201327kg at 20% moisture. This water weight is lost during storage \u2014 the bale lightens and may shrink as it dries, potentially loosening the rope ties.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Grass Hay: Weight Range by Species and Density Setting<\/h2>\n

Why Grass Hay Bales Weigh Less Than Alfalfa<\/h3>\n

Grass hay bales are typically lighter than alfalfa bales from the same plunger setting because grass stems are thinner and more hollow than alfalfa stems at equivalent growth stages. The hollow stem cross-section springs back after compression \u2014 not completely, but enough to reduce the final settled density by 10\u201318% compared to solid-stemmed alfalfa. This is a material property, not a machine problem: any square baler produces lighter grass hay bales than alfalfa bales at the same density setting.<\/p>\n

All weights at 14\u201317% baling moisture, 460\u00d7360mm cross-section. Actual weights vary with field conditions, bale length setting and specific machine density calibration.<\/p>\n

Wheat, Barley and Oat Straw: The Lightest Format<\/h2>\n

Why Cereal Straw Bales Are Lighter Than Hay<\/h3>\n

Cereal grain straw after combine harvest has lower bulk density than hay because the stem at harvest maturity is completely dry, hollow and brittle \u2014 most of the moisture has been removed during the grain-filling and ripening period. The result is that even at maximum plunger density, cereal straw bales rarely exceed 22kg in the 460\u00d7360mm format and typically land in the 12\u201320kg range depending on species and straw condition.<\/p>\n

Wheat straw is the most widely baled cereal straw and the lightest of the three. Barley straw is similarly light but slightly less brittle. Oat straw is the heaviest and most palatable of the cereal straws \u2014 oat straw bales from the same setting are typically 1\u20133kg heavier than wheat straw bales because oat stems are thicker and compress with fewer voids.<\/p>\n

Corn Stover and Sorghum Stalk: Shredder vs Non-Shredder Weight<\/h2>\n

\"9YF-2200<\/p>\n

The Shredder Effect on Weight<\/h3>\n

In hard-stalk crops \u2014 corn stover, grain sorghum, cotton and sweet sorghum \u2014 bale weight is significantly affected by whether the material is shredded before compression. Intact stalks bridge across the bale chamber and compress to 70\u201380% of theoretical density. Shredded material packs with fewer voids and reaches 88\u201396% of theoretical density. This translates directly to bale weight: a corn stover bale at standard plunger settings without shredding weighs approximately 18\u201324kg, while the same volume bale with single-stage shredding from the 9YF-2200S weighs 24\u201332kg.<\/p>\n

How the Density Setting Changes Bale Weight<\/h2>\n

Step-by-Step Impact on Common Crops<\/h3>\n

The plunger density setting on the 9YF series typically offers 3\u20135 adjustment positions or a continuous spring-tension adjustment, depending on the model. Moving from minimum to maximum density setting changes bale weight by approximately 25\u201340% in standard hay crops \u2014 a range that encompasses most of the difference between the lightest retail market preference and the heaviest livestock market preference. The exact percentage depends on the crop species:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
Yonca saman\u0131<\/div>\n

Min density: ~18\u201320kg \u00b7 Max density: ~30\u201336kg. A 50\u201380% increase from minimum to maximum. Alfalfa responds strongly to density adjustment because the solid stem compresses proportionally with increasing force.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
Grass hay<\/div>\n

Min density: ~13\u201315kg \u00b7 Max density: ~22\u201326kg. A 40\u201370% increase from minimum to maximum. Grass stems spring back more than alfalfa, so the density adjustment effect is slightly smaller in percentage terms.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
Bu\u011fday saman\u0131<\/div>\n

Min density: ~10\u201312kg \u00b7 Max density: ~18\u201322kg. A 50\u201380% increase from minimum to maximum. Straw is very responsive to density adjustment because the brittle, dry stems crush rather than spring back under high plunger force.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The length setting interacts with density: increasing bale length by one step at the same density adds approximately 8\u201315% weight. When you need a specific bale weight, adjust density first (it has the larger effect on density-per-unit-volume) and fine-tune with length (which changes total volume per bale). Run 10 test bales, weigh and average after every adjustment before continuing \u2014 bale weight settles slightly after the first 5 bales in a new setting as the machine reaches thermal and tension equilibrium.<\/p>\n

Weighing and Documenting Your Bale Weight<\/h2>\n

Practical Weighing Methods in the Field<\/h3>\n

A digital platform scale with a 150kg capacity (available for under $200 at most farm supply stores) is the most accurate field-weighing tool for small square bales. Place it flat on the bale chute or ground beside the bale exit and weigh 10 consecutive bales at the start of each session \u2014 average the results and compare to your target range before continuing. A simple waterproof notepad hung from the machine records the date, crop, cutting number, approximate moisture (from your windrow probe readings) and the 10-bale average weight. This record takes 5 minutes per session to complete and provides the documentation that buyers want when evaluating your hay.<\/p>\n

Alternative for quick field checks: a handheld luggage scale attached to the bale rope allows single-bale weighing without a platform. Less accurate than a platform scale for averaging (the bale must be lifted square to avoid pendulum error) but adequate for checking whether a setting change moved bale weight in the intended direction before investing time in a full 10-bale test run.<\/p>\n

What Buyers Want to See<\/h3>\n

A cutting label attached to a representative bale \u2014 or provided on a delivery invoice \u2014 that states: species, cutting number, date baled, moisture at baling and average bale weight communicates professional production standards that most suppliers do not provide. This label costs nothing beyond the 10 minutes it takes to assemble the data from your session records. For horse buyers and feed store buyers who receive hay from multiple suppliers without any documentation, a producer who provides this information consistently commands attention and is offered preferred supplier status by buyers who have been burned by undocumented, inconsistent hay in the past.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions \u2014 Small Square Bale Weight<\/h2>\n
\n
\nHow much does a typical small square hay bale weigh?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
A typical small square hay bale in the 460\u00d7360mm format \u2014 the standard cross-section produced by all 9YF series models \u2014 weighs 18\u201328kg for grass hay and 22\u201332kg for alfalfa at standard density settings and 14\u201317% baling moisture. These are the most commercially common weight ranges for the equine and retail markets. The full possible range across all crops and density settings is wider: as light as 10\u201312kg for wheat straw at minimum density and as heavy as 36\u201342kg for high-density alfalfa or shredded corn stover at maximum density settings. When a buyer asks how much your bales weigh, the answer requires specifying the crop, cutting stage and approximate moisture \u2014 a single number without this context is not meaningful for hay market pricing or nutritional evaluation purposes.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhy do my bales weigh less than bales from the same machine at a nearby farm?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
Bale weight differences between the same machine model at different farms typically trace to one or more of: different density settings, different bale length settings, different crop species or cutting stage, different baling moisture, or differences in crop yield per metre of windrow (denser windrows produce heavier bales at the same length setting because the star wheel measures material volume, not weight). If both operations are running the same 9YF model and the same crop at similar moisture, the most likely cause is a different density setting. Weigh 10 bales from your machine and compare the average to the other operation \u2014 if you are consistently lighter, increase the plunger density one step, run another 10 test bales and recompare. One or two density adjustment steps typically closes a 3\u20135kg weight gap between operations producing the same crop at similar moisture.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nDo small square bales lose weight in storage?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
Yes \u2014 bales baled above 14\u201315% moisture lose weight during storage as the remaining moisture equilibrates to ambient barn conditions. A bale at 18% moisture at baling loses approximately 4% of its weight (3\u20134% of the bale mass) as it dries to 14% in covered storage over 2\u20134 weeks. A bale at 22% moisture loses approximately 9% of its mass during drying. This weight loss is water \u2014 the dry matter content of the bale is unchanged. The practical implication: if you weigh bales at baling and use that weight for pricing or documentation, note that buyers who weigh the same bales at delivery 3 weeks later will get a lower reading than your stated weight. For weight-based pricing to export or TMR buyers, weigh at the point of transaction rather than at production to avoid disputes over weight at delivery versus weight at baling.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nHow much does a small square straw bale weigh compared to a hay bale?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
A small square wheat straw bale from the same machine and same density setting typically weighs 40\u201355% less than a first-cut alfalfa bale and 20\u201335% less than a grass hay bale. The reason is the dry, brittle hollow structure of cereal straw \u2014 it compresses to a lower bulk density per unit volume even at maximum plunger force. At standard density and 13\u201315% moisture: wheat straw bales typically land at 12\u201318kg; grass hay at 18\u201324kg; alfalfa at 22\u201330kg. This is not a settings problem and cannot be corrected by adjusting the machine \u2014 it is the inherent material density difference between dry straw and green-cured hay. To produce heavier straw bales, increase both the density setting and the bale length to maximum \u2014 this narrows the gap but does not eliminate it.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nCan I produce 15kg small square hay bales on purpose for elderly or small-frame customers?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
Yes \u2014 producing a lighter bale by reducing plunger density to minimum and shortening the bale length is straightforward in any 9YF model. In grass hay at 15% moisture at minimum density and a short length setting, bales in the 13\u201317kg range are achievable. For alfalfa, even at minimum density and short length, the natural density of alfalfa stems means the practical minimum is approximately 16\u201320kg. Customers with specific low-weight requirements are a real market segment \u2014 elderly horse owners, small hobby farm operators who handle bales alone, and farmers providing hay for small animals (sheep, goats, alpacas) all benefit from lighter bales. If you produce for this segment, calibrate your minimum-density setting carefully and weigh every 5th bale during the session \u2014 minimum-density bales are more susceptible to weight variation from windrow density changes than high-density bales, because there is less compression force to compensate for thin windrow sections.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat is the heaviest bale the 9YF series can produce?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
The theoretical maximum bale weight from the 9YF series depends on the model and the crop. In high-density settings on the 9YF-2200S with single-stage shredder in dense corn stover at 16% moisture: 38\u201344kg bales are achievable at maximum density and a long bale length setting. In dense first-cut alfalfa at 16% moisture and maximum density on any spring-tooth model: 34\u201340kg is achievable. These very high-density bales require twine rated at 165kg knot strength \u2014 verify twine specification before attempting maximum density settings. Bales above 40kg are not recommended for manual handling at any age or fitness level and require mechanical assistance (tractor bucket or bale handler) for all movement. Most operations cap their density at the 28\u201336kg range even for commercial livestock markets because the handling limitation at very high weights outweighs the marginal storage density improvement above this range.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nDoes bale weight affect how long hay keeps in storage?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
Bale density (which drives bale weight) does affect storage characteristics, though moisture at baling is the dominant factor for storage quality. Higher-density bales have less air space inside the bale \u2014 this slightly reduces the rate of oxygen exchange within the bale and can slow mold growth on the bale interior in humid storage conditions compared to loose, low-density bales. However, the effect is modest compared to the moisture factor: a high-density bale at 20% moisture will mold in storage regardless of its density, while a low-density bale at 14% moisture stores reliably. For outdoor storage, higher density bales have a smaller surface area to volume ratio \u2014 the proportion of the bale exposed to rain and weather is lower, which reduces the depth of moisture penetration from surface wetting. In practice, the practical storage advice remains: bale at or below 17% moisture and store in covered conditions \u2014 these two factors determine storage outcome far more than density setting.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nHow do I communicate bale weight to buyers accurately?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
The most accurate bale weight communication is a per-cutting average weight based on a 10-bale sample weighed at the time of baling, stated as a range rather than a single number (e.g., “24\u201327kg average, first cut timothy, July 15”). Stating a range rather than a single number communicates that bale weight naturally varies within a cutting rather than implying every bale is identical. Include the moisture at baling and the date \u2014 this allows buyers to calculate the approximate current dry weight if they are evaluating the bale weeks after production when some moisture has been lost in storage. For feed store and export buyers who receive palletized lots, weigh a random sample of 5 bales from each pallet on delivery and note the average on the pallet tag \u2014 this is the weight the buyer actually receives, which may differ slightly from your production-time average due to storage moisture loss. Consistent, accurate documentation builds the buyer trust that sustains premium pricing relationships season over season.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n
