Issues bailing oat straw,

[Harvey30]

Evening all,

wondering if anybody can help or give some advice, I’ve got a Lely welger RP160 V Xtra baler, we’ve got on going issue with crop / silage build up in the corners of the baler which results in the net wrap not going onto the bales correctly, also other reason for this post, I have always had issues bailing Oat straw and today has been no different, again the net wrap doesn’t go onto the bales correctly and I’m having to get out every other bale to clear the corners out and then it will net wrap correctly but only for 1 or 2 bales, I’ve been told in the past it’s the heat of the day and ideally you don’t want any sun on it while bailing it, has anybody got or having the same issues? Any ideas would be great,

thanks Andy.

I’ve never had a problem and I’ve baled acres of the stuff.

Yeah I don’t do round bales, and if I could have my way I wouldn’t be doing squares either !.

It's new to me so came like that but I'd say that's your bother both sides are in and I'm guessing the middle is in the middle o didn't look .

No I Really don’t !,
I keep doing it out of some kind of f@#£ed up loyalty to the couple of customers I have left and struggle to break even every year !.
It’s time it was gone !.

I’ll have to try that out in the morning, do you get any issue with build up in the corners ?

That picture is just as I jumped off and took them after 250 winter barley bales. I've done 1000 grass so far this is the first of the straw
