The first grass silage of the year for us, which we did at the end of last week. I was on a Fendt 516 with a Mchale 991 round bale wrapper

@agrifan53497 жыл бұрын
A larger rake with sliding arms would allow the bales to be less lobsided. You would slide it out to make a good wide row for the baler so that the bale will be the same height accross itself. 👍 Why does he only operate with a small 25ft rake? That crop would be baled in no less than 30ft rows here in N.Ireland, but our crops are heavier. Great video!

20 bales per roll, sure uses more than in-line tube wrapping. I'd get 50 bales per roll (as it has 3 rolls I'll do 150 before changing plastic), that's on 125cm (just over 4') bales with 6 layers of wrap.

How many cuts of hay/grass do you normally get over there? Here is Wisconsin, US, it is common to get 4 cuts of alfalfa or 3 cuts of heavy clover/grass mix. In places like Kentucky, they get up to 7 cuts of alfalfa per year!
@artur84032 жыл бұрын
BE wrapper can be used stationary too but I didn't understand how new cycle starts. Is it required to put new bale on lifting fork or can it be put straight on rotating platform? If I put new bale on lift will it try to lift loader tractor with bale or is there time delay to reverse away?

George, as a printer I find your video's fascinating but could you explain to us why your doing what you do, as in, why do you plough fields or wrap up the hay. Its great to watch all the machinery and you, the farmer. As a layman I havent got a clue about the science behind it all. Thanks a lot.
@kalvekurvenungdomsbedrift44296 жыл бұрын
Nice video as always, George! Just wondering: isn't it better to use white wrapping because I assume black wrapping will get hotter in the sun and then it's more likely that the grass rots?

the only downside is when the bale doesn't roll into the wrapping table but rolls of the wrapper between the tractor and wrapper and you have to get a frontloader or telehandler to take out the bale. great video always love to see the fendt

Quite a lot of the bales looked out of shape, maybe the baler wasn't running right. Makes loading and transporting them more difficult. Still enjoyed the video, thanks George,
@agrifan53497 жыл бұрын
Duncan Blanchard Its because the rows of grass are narrow and theres more grass in the centre of the rows and less towards the edges. It goes into the baler like that and you get an uneven shape. a wider more consistant row with make a more square, tighter bales with good shape.

Sean Forbes take your time until you learn the controls and be careful of hills, always tip with the bale facing slightly up hill but only just so you kill it's momentum. if you load a bale on a hill with the slope to your left then the bale could just fall off the other side of the bale table

Paul Speigle putting more heat to the bale doesn't make it ferment better. if anything it makes it worse.. hotter the plastic the more likely the anaerobic bacteria are to not work properly and so not ferment right. white plastic keeps the coolest as it reflects heat.
