Silotite 1800m 5layer wrap?

[wdah/him]

As above Im wondering if anyone has used it and what they thought. I normally use silawrap and have no complaints but was talking to man who suggested this. Two things i have against going with it, big one is where i currently buy my wrap is a parts supplier and understands that when you break down you need fixed and has never failed to sort me out with either parts or a machine he has offered. Other con is it has to be bought in full pallets. only reason im looking into it is the ability to do more bales with less roll changes

Did have a few issues once with a wrap that was either silotite or volac not sure which but would have been a well-known name for good products.

Anybody used the silotite 1800m rolls and have experience good or bad

Is that pre stretched stuff?

 

[wdah/him]

Think so, have you used or heard anything about it.

If there’s more plastic on each roll how much heavier is it to lift off the carrier and on to the wrapper

its 23uf instead of 25uf

its 23uf instead of 25uf

So either more layers or bale covering thinner?

 

[wdah/him]

I don't know. We use 6 layers and one man we work for wants 8 layers. Don't think 2uf less would be much of an issue. Its more the tac and how it works with being handled

I've used it with no problems at all, a roll does 25 bales at 6 layers instead of 21 with standard stuff.

Haven't used Silotite but going by other brands that I have, it'll be fine if you're putting 6 layers on silage and 8 layers on haylage.
