Yes it would, I'll put a link to it up later, it is available in a few colours including a couple if shades of green but neither were right for hay.

mb86 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 This is what I used, I made 8 bales out if one yard of it so you would probably not get much more than 1 in 16th. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tangle-Tuff-Pressed-Abaca-Sisal-Wrap-Mesh-Roll-5-Yards-1-Yard-Natural-/152270750827?var=&hash=item23740b446b%3Am%3AmbmQEHWCQWLQLHaw11OK7Dg&_trkparms=pageci%3A80b56212-cc1c-11e6-b1e9-74dbd180f090%7Cparentrq%3A3fc142681590a2a597db425cffd47744%7Ciid%3A1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't expensive if it doesn't work out for you. Yes I've never had the pleasure of using bags but I've heard all sorts of wonderful stories about them.

I used to help a neighbour bag up round silage bales but could not always get a air tight seal which you would not now till you opened it if I remember right he always had a bigger muck heap then anyone else round here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The sisal mat looks very effective, much faster and less mind numbing than cutting individual strands of rope. Nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice find. Thank James. I bought some more of it but it is a lot brighter shade and not as good of a match, will see how they look when I roll them up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 I've been trying to fit this loader, the tractor is a marge 7610 with Imber 40 series rears and UH 10 series fronts. Haven't fixed loader on yet and think it still needs the position adjusting so it is nearer the cab. What would others suggest re decalling the loader as. I thought a trima of some denomination. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
