jakescot Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I`ll put out 2000 bales of silage (haylage really most of it) each and every winter and anything to speed the job up etc would be great . I like the fact the bale is broken up a bit before it goes into the feeder wagon making it`s job a lot easier. I see a few problems with this however so in my VERY humble opinion..... 1 for the now necessary plastic recycling ( for us at least in scotland),the net and plastic wraps have to be separated....gonna take you time to split that up.....albeit easier with no silage around. 2 not certain every bit of netwrap would be caught as to get the net to start reeling onto the bale you need the very last mouthful of silage (on most balers at least ) to help it get into the chamber. 3 I doubt that grab couldn`t cut through my bales with the longer stemmy grass and higher dry matter therefore I reckon it would only be suitable for proper short grown silage or bales made by a chopper baler . 4 doubt my loader and pipework would stand up to cutting at least 2000 bales a year so repair bills may well outweigh any other benefits. sorry to be so negative,just saying it as I see it. It wouldn`t be for me unless anyone cares to bring it to me, let me try it for a winter and if I`m proved wrong then I`ll gladly buy it! I can see it suiting some situations tho and may well be a decent seller due to the fact lots of the guys feeding cattle now need their backside glued to a telehandler or the tractor/loader seat ! seems none of us have time to do anything else so this not getting out to remove the wraps and net wrap is likely to be VERY appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorbob Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 it would also be handy ,because no smell on your hands and the wifes/girlfreinds happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxy Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 it would also be handy ,because no smell on your hands and the wifes/girlfreinds happy ya i would thinkit needs some practic on it due to if you pull the level to much the plastic would fall out at the same timeas you leaving the bale go as for cost, not sure was told around 3000-4000€ could be wrong not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robl12 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Seems a great Idea. as said before atleast it keeps the smell of silage off your hands. The video of the loader mounted wrapper is good now that is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorbob Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 thats been out for years that one(loader mounted wrapper) much improved though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 contraptions what does this mean not geat at english Contraption is an english word And don't think you can really talk about english All i mean is that a smaller business in either N.I. or the south, can't mind came up with this idea a long time ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 looks wild handy, that guy could do with a silage pit the amount of money he must spend on wrap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
