But I've been there, done that.  I did the math and the stuff we were doing some years back works out to 78 bales per hour theoretical based on the stopwatch time for one bale.   Our bales consistantly weigh around 1700-1800 lbs.  Real life would be a bit less because you have to turn around on the ends (that particular field was over 1/2 mile rows, though) and replace net every so often.  We were raking somewhere around 35 feet per swath and getting about 3 bales per acre.  I think he normally bales in C3 or C4 in the 7700, but I'm not sure how fast that is....C4 is planter gear so probably around 7.something mph.
