Is anyone using anything in between a flat 8 and a proper packer like a Baron?
I work a cooks flat 8 and it works pretty well for me for gathering. I only do 2-3000 at any one time at the moment. I could up that to 10000 in time, but I would need more storage space.
I would love a packer but I don't fancy going down the route of big finance bills and chasing work to justify it, done plenty of that and not sure I am the better for it!
The flat 8 is fine for gathering and stacking in the shed but hauliers are getting less and less interested in taking wee bales that need hand built and as time goes on less and less know how to do it even if they are game.
I did speak to one that said you can stack them straight on without touching them with a flat 10.
I have been looking online at the Tubeline system.
Anyone with any experience?
