[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 7667168, member: 4505"] I think he is saying he wrapped the whole bale. As I explained in another post, if a totally covered object (say a haylage bale) is left in the sun, it and it's contents (foddrr+air) will warm up and expand. That's fine, but when it cools it will draw moisture in from outside. If the ends are open, will this still happen? Birds I don't know about as I haven't had a serious problem. One thing that might be a problem is that the machine is attached to front linkage. How many smaller farmers will have a tractor with a front linkage? If it is a contractor only machine and takes 30 seconds to wrap a bale (plus the wrap+diesel+profit), what does that work out at cost wise? I can't see a price for the machine anywhere. Looks like they are not in full production yet. [/QUOTE]
