The "greedy" door swings both ways. There are greedy buyers too, who think "what hay is actually worth" is $1-$2 for small squares and $10-$20 for a 1000lb round bale.
Overhead is irrelevant. There is a market price for hay like any other commodity. The incentive for operating with low overhead is (hopefully) a profit.[/quote] .
Greed has nothing to do with it on the buyers side. Yes there are morons out there that will nickel and dime because they're just complete jack***es. But hay suppliers don't help themselves. Price it right and get it off the rack or out of the barn. Seen several stubborn hay guys move ten squares at a time once a week because they're hay was $7 a bale. Don't like it, lower your price or don't complain. Horse folks will sell they're stock before paying an arm and a leg. You will price yourself out of business once there is no demand. Overhead isn't irrelevant. There are the guys who advertise "made with John Deere equipment" as if the price should be more. If you're baler and my baler make the same bale and my baler is cheaper and older but yours is brand new and costs $30,000 why should the buyer pay more for that bale?

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. 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
