Gav836 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I need some opinions from you lot on here on straw stacks, I'm investigating the possibility of casting in resin the small Britains bales in a wall formation to fill the front of barns, also in doing them in the flat eight formation to fit the old Britains grab and also in the old 2x2 formation 3 high with one on top how they used to be done many years ago. Is this something that you think may be of interest to people (I know it is to one of you )? Lets hear your thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Sounds good Gav, what will the resin 8 weight be compared to the original 8 bales though?? Wall idea sounds good ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 I wouldn't have thought that there would be a lot of difference in them myself weight wise, I'll let you know in a few days time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGU Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Gav - Some of MGU's bales fit his flat 8 bale grab and others fall out. There appears to be a slight difference in the bale size? Have you tried yours in the grab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried yours in the grab? I have indeed Kev, they fit the grab that I have here. I've found in the past that some of the grabs differ as well \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
