2024 wrap prices.

[balerman]

I got quoted £62.50 off mole today for silotite….think they’ll need to sharpen their pencils

Their own wrap is usually less than silotite,so that needs to be £57ish to be competitive.That is back a decent bit from last year.

I didn’t get a price for their own, I’ve used silotite quite a lot over the years and been happy…I’m waiting for prices from 3 different companies but they are saying they don’t have new season prices yet

I used silotite for years,but about 10 years ago I had a batch that was very variable.Each roll would vary from 27-35 bales a roll (4 layers)been using mainly their own Total Bale since with no problems.

Any prices from NI people. 2021 I was paying wrap £59ish. Soothing tells me I have paid about £70 last year might be worth getting a few pallets from the other side of the pond this year if it is that big of a difference

 

[Mervyn75]

Been quoted £58 for black silawrap.Thats for a few pallets.

 

[wdah/him]

did a phone call and £63 for green silotite, im happy with that as green is normally dearer. could have got stuff foe 60 or a little less but silotite has given me no issues. Assume black would have been 1-2 pounds a roll less

 

[NorthumbrianFarmer]

Got a quote today for visqueen today £64.95. Seems too high to be competitive this year

 

[balerman]

Got a text today to say it’s dropped another £1/roll.im aiming to pay no more than £60 now.

John Deere £70

[Pat the wrapper]

How much diesel would the wrapper on a combi use? I get 300+ out of a tank full with my wrapper with the power pack.

It'll take a litre a bale to bale and wrap

 

[Trying to make a £]

Can anyone explain how a roll of wrap at £60 ish wraps 20 bales so £3 per bale of wrap yet a baling contractor charges £11 per bale wrapped and £3 per bale unwrapped
Does it cost £4 per bale to put the wrap on?
Making 500 bales a year would be £2000 against a wrapper.

Time you went out and bought some kit, thing's don't run for nothing nowadays,
