FB Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 UH ones are smaller than Britains ones from memory? \ \, cant measure as i dont have any, Old Ford has i think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 cheers, because the britains are exactly 2inches wide, dont know where i could get a cyclinder 2inch wide of wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 cheers, because the britains are exactly 2inches wide, dont know where i could get a cyclinder 2inch wide of wood i would have thought tree stakes would be a good starting point, prob is they will be heavy on the front loaders rams and wear them oput quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 i would have thought tree stakes would be a good starting point, prob is they will be heavy on the front loaders rams and wear them oput quick good point never thought about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 have you thought about asking Gav if he would cast you some out of resin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fendt-man-matty Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 GAV if your reading this, show us some cast round bales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Resin bales would be solid, which means heavy and expensive I expect. The cheapest way to get Britians round bales would be to buy a trade case from the likes of Dave Towse if he still does them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheapest way to get Britians round bales would be to buy a trade case from the likes of Dave Towse if he still does them. As F-P just said, resin round bales would be very heavy compared to the UH ones or any other ones, the square bales I cast are heavy enough as I'm sure Sean or anyone else who's handled them will tell you. The round fence stakes would be lighter in weight than cast bales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 ok thanks mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 oh yeah resin would have the same problem as tree stakes, what about hanging pot liner rolled up to the size you want, then tied with black cotton to hold it in? would be nice and light for the loaders, and look pretty effective for grass bales, the stuff i got for hedges cost me 2.99 for a 3/4 m square sheet, cuts with sissors, will try one out later for yu if you can hold on for an hr or so, see what it looks like for you before you spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 sounds good :)i was thinking more straw bales, but sure thats a good idea, cheers sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 no problem just popping out will do it when i get back and pst a pic for you, i would say it could be sprayed yellow at a psuh to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 right matty here you go, this is nothing more that hanging basket liner, its prob arround a uh bale size truth be known, as that the only bit i had left over,only a quick jobby for you to see, at a psuh i would say it would take a coat of yellow paint ok, may try it for you at the weekend, held in shape by some fine wire from work although cotton would do, bery very light, infact according to her scales its 3 g's worth so the arms will take two easy, and it does hold on a bale spike, just forgot to take a pic of it for you at a guess i would say you can get 10/15 bales from one sheet like i bought to last ones wrapped in what i call scrim tape,or plasteres tape so it gives the webbing effect, personally i prefer the twine version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 jdm,I just measured a britains green bale which was 45mm but how about inch and a half waste pipe (37.5mm) wraped with hanging basket liner which could give you a few more mm in diameter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 yeah it could work ,prob is the weight this is 3 g's so her fancy cooking scales say , if you add pipe and foam it all adds up, card tube would reduce it though say bog roll tube?
