[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7610331, member: 348"] Chopped bales and tight pressure = less oxygen in the bale = better fermentation. In a dairy farmer’s clamp you won’t find any long grass, and it will be compacted well to exclude oxygen. Why would you not look to do the same in a bale? Agree with above point about setting up though. Been very happy with local contractor (Fusion) but have had someone else baling this year to contra standing grass he’s bought. He also has a Fusion, but is baling it as he would his own, rather than to ‘charge by the bale’. I put 14 bales on my trailer last week and the Merlo hitch was struggling to lift the drawbar, which it’s never done before. [/QUOTE]
