I've heard a lot of weights over the years, from back in the 1980's when my new holland dealer who sold me my third chain baler told me the bales would weigh 1100 pounds right up to people who swear its got to weight ....
What I know, first person, for fact, as an interstate hay shipper is 700 on the low end to 900 on the high end depending on bulk density settings of the belts, type of hay, and baler settings gets every load of 4x5's I've put on a semi as an average weight going across the scales. From my own production, this is timothy orchard mix, 840 average, belt pressure set at 1400 psi on the baler meter, belts cut and sized annually by NH dealer on a 4x5 netwrap out of a 450 NH baler, 3 years old. Looking at the link above, this is right on the money. Based on feed out of those same bales to my cows, compared to 5x5 rolls I purchased the feed out is right at 135% which puts them at 1147. I don't scale 5x5s as I wont haul them (strictly purchase, delivered, from local sources).

The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
