I would say... 4'L 18" T 14"W However that is not square so I am not sure if it is what you are looking for.

If I go out and measure the 25 tons I just had delivered, I would get a variety of dimensions since not every company machine goes by the same dimensions.
I have bought 90 pound hay bales to 150 pound hay bales. Each one can be from the same company, but different cutting at different crop year. It also can be from different cuttings since some companies are unlegit by not carefully baling the hay. Sticks, dirt and even big rocks I have discovered when opening up a bale.
To measure the bale I just fed tonight, I would say approx 2 feet by 4 feet long by 2 feet deep. These are pretty good size large bales of approx 125-130 pounds.
Adv weight of a bale is 110-115 pounds.
16 bales per ton. Which would make each bale at 120 pounds to meet that "ton" when calculated.
So, pretty much it is an estimate ordeal.
I recommend going out and taking a few measurements and documenting each one. Then calculate an over all adv size. Pretty much have your own little experiment going.

Actually, that depends A LOT on where you live. I bought horses from Washington in April, and found out that their standard bales are 125-135 pounds. HOWEVER, here in Texas, a standard bale is only about 80 pounds. Then again, here recently, the bales are shrinking.....in size and quality......
A rough estimate here would be 2x3x4....

Depends on the weight of the bale and type of hay in it.
About 2x2x4
Depends on the size machine the farmer has who bles the hay.
There are alot of variables in hay.

Hay bales are not square but rectangular and approx. 40" long, 20" wide and 20" high.

It all depends on who is doing the bailing. You might want to call your hay supplier
