BCS hay mowing, raking, bailing

[caverdude]

Has anyone done full hay production? I saw the round baler, I guess there is no square baler? Can the round bails be rolled by hand onto a trailer? They look fairly small like 2.5 feet tall maybe.

Also any comments on the mower? I assume its a saw tooth type sickle, single bar? It moves back and forth?

Any comments on the rake tedder?

What size tractor in HP do you use and how long does it take to do a few acres? or one acre? or whatever? About how many bales do you get per acre? I know that varies a lot probably.
