Hi we make anywhere from 1200-2000 small squares a year for our own use. Larger than 50 pounds though. We pull a wagon behind our baler. We also have 3 good size flat wagons smallest one holds 85 bales. Dad is 76 so he drives, and my brother and I stack on the wagon and unload in the barn. We bale at night and on the weekends because of our full time jobs. We too tried to hire kids, and a couple of guys that were out of work. We were willing to pay 12-15 dollars per hour.

I guess some of the people without jobs don't have a job for a reason !

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
