How To Make Round Silage Bales

[Deere-est]

What you will need.

Black insulation tape (or whichever you prefer!)

15mm x 1m Pipe insulation.

1 Britains round bale

1 razor saw (or whatever you have which will cut through the pipe insulation.

1. Here is what the pipe insulation looks like.

2. Line up your Britains bale and cut the pipe insulation with your cutting tool to the same width.

[Deere-est]

3. Your first 'round bale'

4. Apply the tape, turning the bale as if it were on the table of a bale wrapper.

[Deere-est]

5. and 6. You now have a wrapped, round silage bale.

[Deere-est]

You'll be up all night soon anyway Ben, you can do them then  :D

Simple but very effective Tris.

Very smart Tris  :)

Here is two links on the Swedish forum how to do round bales.

The first is from Ruben and the other is from Pock also member on this forum

Those bales are also looking great. can you translate this maybe?

Hej tack för den kommentaren här är en liten beskrivning på vertyget.

Jag har klippt till två runda mässings plåtar stora som balens diameter sen har jag borrat ett 3 mm hål i centrum och lödat dit innan mätet från en sockerbit den hade också en innerdiameter på 3mm .

Sen är axlen en 3mm pianotråd .

har borrat ett hål i den ene plåten sidan om mitten som bilden visar så man kan trä bal bandet i när man börjar linda sen skär man bort den bit balband när balen är klar.

Sen är det bara att sätta verktyget i tex skruvdragaren och snurra på balband och stryka på lim under tiden man lindar på balband jag har andvänt trälim.

I'll stick to Tris's method at least I can read and understand his instructions ;D

[JC]

Try warming the tape up first Tris, it makes it a bit more pliable so it stretches to the shape of the bale

[Deere-est]

I'll have a look at those links later Peter, thanks

Cheers Jase, I will give that a go too and compare them.

Ok Bas I will do my best

He have cut two brass plates the same size like the bales.And then he has drill a 3mm hole in the middle off the plates and then take out the metal in the (sockerbit ...se pics don't know the word on English) who is also 3mm.After that he has soldering the metal part from the..sockerbit.. to the plate and put a 3mm steelwire (piano) thru the plates.Now you can fix it with the small screw on the ..sockerbits part.After that he has drill an other hole in the plate to fix the string (same that you use for real bales.)Now you can put it in the drill and add some glue for wood until it's full

I hope you understand mate  \ \  :D :D

Now that is a cool method from Ruben! I've got a roll of sisal baler twine somewhere.

I can envisage some disasters if the drill is too powerful though.

I suppose if it had a screwdrive function you could turn the speed and torque right down.

nice one tris what i like the most is that it rounds the edges leaving it like a bale unlike if u wrapped a siku plastic bale

looks well must try it 

[Deere-est]

Exactly what I like Murray, pull the the tape tight and it rounds the edges. Perfect

[jcb4cxkid]

thanks this is handy might have a go at making some

[Deeredriver]

me too think i have some pipe insulation here somwhere n plenty of tape cool thx Tris

may sound bad Tris but a good way to warm up tape is just to put in under your armpit, seen it done loads of times....and other ways :D

Thanks for the idea guys....tried some tonight and they look great. Warming the tape up really helped aswell. ;)

[8340NHadie]

thats a good way of doing it looks really good. I used to fill toilet roll tubes with grass then wrap them with tape then you can feed the cows ;D
