Could someone tell me how many bales of silage a roll of wrap will cover? The bales are getting six layers of wrap and the baler is a John Deere C441R. I think it is 20 bales per roll at 6 layers, but I am open to correction! Thank you in advance.

I was getting around the 20 bales with Mchale V660 bales. Used the silotite pro mainly this year and it’s around 28 bales per roll @ 6 layers

I have a c441r also, and found on 6 layers were getting 23/24 roll.
Was a bit concerned it was overstretching so not enough plastic going on, now set monitor at 6.6 (dealers recommendation) which gives me 20/21 per roll.

Budget for 20 4’ bales at 6 layers, 30 at 4 layers. Hot weather will give you an extra bale or 2. Different types of wrap will vary according to how much they stretch.
