Very nice Mike. Kinda makes you feel good when a job is done for the time being. I say if you don’t have storage for dry hay wrapping is a great idea too. Be careful in this heat.

This balage is a neat thing especially in a year where getting hay to dry is a challenge. We experimenting with it. 102 round bales.... That's a bunch. Ha!, hopefully going forward you can leave the neighbors alone but never forgotten. You can only haul with what you have. That's how it goes. Once more it was nice to see the 3010 helping out too.

3010 did its job. I actually put the 4000 on the wrapper this year, runs it about the same as the 3020, but picks up the wrapper better with the added weight up front I thought, and the side console is a little more user friendly. I finally counted yesterday, wrapped 36 bales the other night. Not a record for either one of us 😂 but it was a lot of work

The squeaking loader seat made me laugh… every time I borrow my brother’s loader (Volvo model of yours) the seat is always squeaking and I fix it for him because eventually it makes you crazy! Nice bales you put up .

What about wrapping the dry hay in black plastic so it the much easier to know which is which?
@mikep7810
@mikep7810 12 күн бұрын
Not a bad idea, I don't have any black plastic though. I got a pallet of the plastic you see in the video. I'm just putting the baleage in one area and the wrapped dry hay in another area

We use Flavor Seal which is a 1.0 mil. I demoed wrappers at the end of last season, this is the first year we really have wrapped everything. I really have only used this wrap. My neighbor sells it so I just get it from him. I have nothing to compare it to

Also, I have a Mchale 991be wrapper which is a tow behind version. You should try just letting it start on Its own at the normal wrapping speed. My machine is fully automatic and I rarely have issues with it ripping plastic at the beginning.

We are wrapping it for baleage. The plastic isn't just to keep the weather out of it but we bale the hay wetter and the plastic seals it up so the hay will ferment inside like silage in a silo. Even if we had a building to store all the hay in the bales would still need to be wrapped so they become baleage.
