So I have discovered that what was loosely in some parts of the country called 'bales' were properly known as trusses - and the haybales out of the first machines were made to about the same size a very skilled man baled and cut them to be 3'x2.5'x a variable height according to fineness, weighing for straw at least 36lb, hay if old at least 56lb, if new at least 60lb. so it was baled cubed up, just not as tightly. the weighs were laid down by a statute under George III.
the pics below show how they were't as tight or sharp cornered as machine baled trusses, which is still apparently the proper name, but still squared off enough to stack well.
And I can't describe it better than here
But without a mould, you do it with several helpers which I have also read.
