[QUOTE="sheepwise, post: 6322178, member: 452"] We have worked with a wool press on our shearing run for over 10 years now. Originally the press was supplied by BWMB as a trial but we ended up buying it. It was trialed as a way of reducing haulage costs but the project failed because BWMB staff refused to handle the bales which were secured by wire clips. BWMB bigwigs refused to listen to their producers and shearers and took the side of their depot staff. The result was that bales have to be sewn with string which negates any time savings in the wool handling process.There are a few customers who still ask for the press but generally we just use it for our own wool now. The pressed square bales are so much better for transport. [/QUOTE]
