Could you not have sent a small child down?

Thought about it but couldn't get the required length on the bicycle rim. A few knots in the fishing line though, if that helps!Not quite, The line is not knotted baler band

You are very kind, though I fear that my 'achievement' will forever remain rather more niche than say a picture of Kim kardashian's big end.
Oh yes [emoji23]

Not sure if I’ve put this up before, but exhaust fell off the static wrapper a few years ago.
The tube came with some new press rings we brought so it’s recycled too.

This mornings creation. Nice and close coupled. Only 2.3m wide even though it looks wider than the tractor.
The frame is made from wind bracing from a dismantled shed, everything else was on the salvage pile too.

Nice work. Looks very smart. Will it see any paint? Also does the JCB just tow the wrapper to a job or is that the baling tractor?

No dog lead or bale string - no problem. Net wrap the the rescue

Painted yesterday afternoon and ordered some plastic end caps too but wrong thread to be posting that in......
No JCB does anything and everything. We used to wrap at the stack but gone to doing it in field now so JCB does the wrapping.
Nice to see a solution to a problem which uses a material that is readily available to most instead of using bale string which isn't.
Have you ever used net wrap to tie anything? It's bloody strong! I've used it to tie gates before when it's all I had and it's good because it doesn't open very easily by itself like string can. But it doesn't open very easily when you want to open the gate either
@Kiwi Pete told me a story about changing a tyre on a 4 rotor rake and they didn't have a jack. So he just wrapped some, or a lot of, bale net around it into a sling and lifted it with a digger then rested it on a gate post to take the wheel off.

Love the use of cable tie overhang to enhance the acoustic use of rear wheel spokes which ensures any child or indeed adult of childlike disposition will positively enjoy performing the manual task.
