[QUOTE="Extreme Optimist, post: 8033096, member: 1609"] We have had contractors make our silage in square bales for years. No complaints. Usually good silage with very little wasteage. However, with the increase in bale wrap prices etc. I am looking at changeing back to rounds. Can someone give me an insight into the amount of wrap required? At the moment, I have 4' x 3' x 5'6" bales made (about 1100, all chopped). If my maths are correct. there isn't a huge difference in volume between these and a 4'6" round bale. I get about 11 square bales to 1 roll of wrap. wrapping with 6 layers. Am I right in thinking that you would get around 22 round bales from 1 roll (6layers)? How would the weight of a chopped 4' x 3' x 5'6" compare with a chopped round bale? Appreciate there will be variations in baler type. Just looking to see where I can make some savings. [/QUOTE]
