So how many bales from that @6 layers?
Our neighbour / contractor uses a NH belt baler, chopped 4' 9" rounds can go way over 1000kg, he baled some the other day at 1150kg. We usually aim for pressure to produce 850kg bales. Definitely saves wrap and haulage time, but makes the Tanco bale slice grunt at feed out if they're to tight. He charged just shy of £10/bale last year, rowed up, baled, wrapped and stacked in the yard with 6 layers.
Predominantly 750mm used today, very few machines left working that use the old 500mm rolls
Six layers of 750mm applied to 4 foot round, and you get 22 bales per roll

I don't know, we go with 4 layers as our quality isn't as high and we can't afford 6!
Wrap will be £2.70 a bale at that price, thankfully our usual supplier has found some at a better price.

Pallet price?
What make?
That is very cheap! Down here last season we were just over £3 for a 4foot round, £2 for wrapping then wrap on topOur contractor has upped his rates massively this year not happy. We have been quoted £2.25 for a 4ft round
And £2.75 to wrap with 6 layers think he’s taking advantage of the small increase in fuel to jump prices
£80 silotite green yesterday pallett

How can you say he has been ripped off if you don’t know the price of a roll?

Post stated 4 layers, Inc Vat too. £80 a roll plus vat = 96/30=3.2 including Vat.

Maybe.....
Our normal supplier couldn't get 500mm wrap, so I ordered and paid for it elsewhere, £90.60 a roll Inc vat so I make that £75.50 ex vat. Generally get 28 x 4' bales to a roll so £2.70 per bale, plus the Vat. However, our first guy has got some at £59 (plus vat) a roll which works out at £2.11 a bale, bit more bearable so the other order was cancelled.

Is the wrap the same wrap? 16.50 a roll difference?

Same spec but I'm guessing a different brand.
