Contractor was in yesterday wrapping some silage bales. Baled in 120x90, at 5ft5 in length, the wrapper man used wrap at a rate of 1 roll per 16 bales. Having done years of 80x90 bales I'm a little out of touch with bigger bale sizes.
Now, to avoid an arguement with the driver at the end of a very long day, I just accepted it and thought perhaps I've got it wrong but I always thought around 22 bales to a roll applying 6 layers on these size bales. After baling over 400 bales yesterday that's a fair chunk of wrap gone!
Who's correct?!
