I think you were giving the gals too good of a deal, and I have done some custom hay for 25 years.
The only way you even get close to coming out on a 50/50 split is for the land owner to have good clean land, and a recent planting with correct fertilizer, and then the best I'd do is give him his hay on wagons with 18 hours to empty the wagons. It's his hay to unload, stack, sell, or get rained on if he isn't timely. I have had the 50/50 offer put to me, and only fell into that trap once.
