what about the big old silage towers ?
Round balers are much cheaper to buy, run and maintain than the big square balers...Its made me think why folks just done do half size quadrants for all there silage bales tho?
poss as in a round bale it suits there feeding system maybes?
round balers much much cheaper for the smaller outfits to justfy having there own?
but yeah its quite easy to remove string from all the bigger sq bales when they are straw is it much diff if in silage & wrapped?
Still cant see why everyone just doesnt have pit silage, no plastic wrap or net needed. nor a baler for that matter.Round balers are much cheaper to buy, run and maintain than the big square balers...
And have you seen the price of square bale wrappers ?
what's wrong with tap water rather drink that than water from a plastic container@Clive please approach somebody like kelvin cave or biotal and tell them you have the leverage of 41,000 members of TFF who are going to chase them around their office water coolers until they provide biodegradable /edible silage wrap / sheet / string
there are balers that don't do thatView attachment 858905
These bits of string can't be good for the environment. There must be eight on a four string bale, but you rarely see all of them. I try to pick them up, but I bet I'm in the minority. There must be billions of these bits spread across fields worldwide every year.
Round ones? Those are from a John Deere.there are balers that don't do that
I had some bales from a JD small baler and that was the sameRound ones? Those are from a John Deere.
back to haymaking, with sisal string, all natural !
International Harvester 440 and 445 baler doesn't.I had some bales from a JD small baler and that was the same
Not sure what square balers don't do it but not all do
if you used bale net, made from hemp/cannabis, would that mean, if, you left the net on, would you have 'happy' cows?Hemp/Cannabis could be used instead of plastic bags and could be used for many other things provided from oil but oil companies dont like the idea. I have read that before 1920's it was a widely used plant and then about 1930's the use of it restricted by court decisions.
