alot of the main brand wrap is tama , have had claas wrap in the past and it was tama dont know if they change year from year
Had a Krone baler that just hated anything other than horribly expensive JD branded Tama net. Made a lovely job when it worked though
However, discovered a new "premium" net made by Cotesi which they've called "cross expand". Like the Tama, it stretches to cover the edges without tearing, it feeds into the baler instead of wrapping around the feed roller, it cuts cleanly without tails...... And it's more than £50 a roll saving compared to Tama
Changed the baler to a Kuhn since, and it'll wrap bales with anything. The netting system work that well, it would probably manage to cover bales with knitted socks and string vests

Used mole valleys own net couple of years ago. Baler handled it great, tidy job on the bales but a nightmare to take off. Was very fine and loved to get wrapped up on everything it possibly could. Ended up wrapped round the bearings on the bale un roller. seamed to ladder and there was always a very fine bit left on the bale. Gone back to tamma. £200 roll this year.

Needing a roll for this welger, the volac green stuff worked fine in the claas when it wasn't broken down, but defo not as good quality. Probably just get edge to edge.
I had that net one year and one year only!
Had no trouble with it here
What didn’t you like about it?
Last time I used tamma it was shorter than claimed on the packaging it was supposed to be 3600m +200 m extra free but the counter on the mchale made it just shy of 3500m I didn't believe the counter but when I used a different kind it made it over 3600 so I've never used tamma again

Funny you say that cos I found the same.edge to edge was short but the novatex was bang on
I'm onto rondatex now but used something else for a few years it had a couple of different names and I can't mind who made it now . Now I'm back onto a welger (fendt) there's no counter but I know how many bales I get out of a roll and rondatex is spot on

Just wondering what would suit this rp220. When time comes.
Glad I saw this. The new Cotesi product will be worth a try. Both types of Tama are ok but neither will reliably run to the end in our JDF441m I havnt had my money’s worth til I am baling the ones with the red line.

Tama is good stuff. I've seen me having a bad day with net on baler. Change to tama and it works fine for rest of day.
Tama used to be the best,and is priced accordingly.Like a lot of market leaders they think the name will sell it forever.Rondotex at 2/3 the price of Tama does just as good a job and I swear the rolls are longer.Tama is good stuff.

Not got the best single rotor rake operator. Any slightly humped in the middle bales were bursting the net. Rondotex were fine.
Also wasn’t keen on the edge to edge when removing net for use in winter. Would tear and leave a strip at the bottom if bale sat on its end.
