It takes quite a bit less power to square bale than to round. The square baler has a flywheel and the inertia of that flywheel carries the bailer through it's cycle. A round bailer, however, has no flywheel. As the bale nears full size and weight, it takes more and more power to roll it within the bale chamber.
