Gav836 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I'm probly not the right person then! considering you've blocked my personal message to you for asking the price of your 1250 Why would you think Seans 1250 is for sale anyway? I can't recall any mention of it ever being for sale so why ask the price? Many members on here build solely for their own collection, they don't want to be asked how much they want or be made daft offers for it. If its for sale it will be stated in the topic and in the relevant section on here only then is it acceptable to start pm'ing a member for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FARMERBROWN Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 seen your round bales what i do is use britains round bales then i use a black plastic from bin linner bags the ones i use are pretty good and i strech the plastic over the bales then tape them Regards Farmer Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 I used to do that but the troubles are, they are too big for silage bales and you get a hard edge. With the pipe insulation you get a nice soft edge where the tape pulls tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 same here sean more boys get it in light blue or white, or black and white, never alot of black all on its own well most of the grass up here is pit silage, to hell with them bales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You keep looking what tape the light green?? know i used to be able to get a dark green, and ivory looking stuff, never seen light green in tape form, but we do use a green shrink wrap material at work, might be some use???

Deere-est Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Don't see why not, may have to heat the tape more to get it to stretch over the edges more though. Keep meaning to scavenge some insulation board to try it. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 i know it says round bales but if you get polystrene the stuff called jablite or the kingspan they use it for insulation cut just under the britains size bales and wrap with the tape the same as tris says make good square bales . ; just another idea but it does work sorry to hijack your topic tris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
