Or a third option would be if you have a neighbor that can make if
for you. You could either pay him custom rate or do it on shares.
I've got equipment for small squares (I sell my hay to a neighbor
with livestock) but when I want to make round bales I wait for the
neighbor to mow his hay and I do mine at the same time. He will then
come by and bale mine for me.
Of course if you don't have neighbors that make hay it's a moot point.
