Compressed Hay Bales for Sale, Delivered
Compressed hay bales, delivered: HayNow sells tested, compressed small square hay bales of about 43 lb each, from $16.50 a bale ($297 for an 18-bale pallet). We buy large square bales from growers, then slice and re-press them on a Hunterwood hay press at our facility in Earlville, New York, and stack and shrink-wrap every pallet there. Order online and we deliver next week anywhere from New Hampshire to Virginia, including DC, with free delivery everywhere except a flat $39 stop charge in Virginia.
Why compressed bales?
- Dense and uniform: every bale is about the same size and weight, so they stack tight and feed out evenly.
- Less storage space: a pallet of 18 bales, about 774 lb, fits on one pallet footprint in your barn or garage.
- Clean and protected: each pallet is shrink-wrapped to keep the hay clean and out of the weather until you open it.
- Easy to handle: a 43 lb bale is manageable for one person, unlike a large square or round bale.
- No unloading for you: our truck's on-board forklift sets the pallets where you want them.
