Little River, TX
About $175/hour for baling and $80/hour for raking.

Assuming 15 bales an hour that comes to roughly $17 for a 5X6 RB.

Assuming 10 bales an hour that comes to roughly $26 per RB

If in the unlikely chanced he can achieve 20 bales an hour that comes to $13 per RB.

A whole lot depends on the shape of the field, are the rows short or long. Point rows cuts back the number of bales an hour so each bale will cost him more to kick out. Trees and standing poles also cost time and increase the cost.

Ideal for baling is a long out and back. You would think a pivot circle would be great if the rows went in circles, but they still have to dodge the towers.

For efficiency of picking up the bales a square field is better.
