I was similar situation to you, baled around 1600 squares per year for the cows and 200 for the horses. Used bale baskets for cow hay, and horse hay I dropped on ground & pick up. Bought a 650 New Holland round baler last Summer, and couldn't be happier. Makes a 4x5 solid core bale, but can go from 4x4 to 4x6. When I'm done with the last bale, I pull down the lever on the baler to trip the wrap cycle, and the bale is completed, whatever size that may be.
I still baled about 200 squares of 2nd crop alfalfa with the baskets this year, to have some for the cows just in case I have problems getting rounds to them in the Spring mud. Baled about 80 4x5 rounds of 1st crop, and part of 2nd crop. Still dropped the horse hay squares and picked up, because the baskets don't work with the terrain of the grass field.
