How would you expect it to be left when there's too much for the silo?

I think any contractor near me would have a good reply for you if you asked for discount for leaving it as full as that.
We do all our own silage, bales, slurry.
Il post a picture this evening when the cover is going on.
I haven't heard exactly but would expect this year to pay 10-12 to mow, bale and wrap
Bales are handy but this year its the price of everything and the weather window we're in.

I’ve heard £14 to row bale and wrap
Does that include 6 layer of wrap?

At current crops the rakin should be less than £1 per bale. Single wrap the plastic costs is just below £3, litre of diesel say £1, driver, tractor £1, baler £1.50 plys whatever net costs. So wev reached £8.50 plus the nett and this includes raking. Where does the £14 come from
it's not over

A cost that's always forgotten is the cost of bringing bales in and stacking, I put this at £2/ bale

A neighborhood puts his at £0 because he has his own tractor and trailer
Not joking!

Northern Ireland is the worst for people valuing themselves at £0, know a heap of farmers who don’t even value their tractor against jobs they do for themselves they just think the contractor is making a killing because they can do everything for nothing themselves.

No feed out with JCB and grab, no fancy diet feeders here.
We had one on demo a few years back and seems to aerate the silage and make it spoil very fast?

Tidy shape now. She went down in some style. Contractors are pushing grass in far too fast now.
