- This is the first year I've used a wrapper to preserve my hay bales. Normally I let them sit out, but I lose the outer edge of the hay from weathering. I'm trying to have a better hay product for my cattle this year. I thought I'd go through my process in case you were considering it too.
Just trying to be helpful in case anyone out there is looking for this kind of info.
Let me know if you have any tips or suggestions for me to try! I'm always learning and wanting to try new ways to do things better.
Hey! I just found your channel this morning, watched several videos. Your doing a great job explaining all the hay process. I’m a high school Welding teacher in Virginia myself and love to bale hay. I only do dry hay though. Looking forward to more videos, take care!
Thanks for your comment! I've got more videos planned out. Stay tuned.
great info I am in the beginning process of starting a small hay operation in the UP of Michigan and this is valuable information thank you for taking the time to explain the innerworkings of the hay tools
I have a net wrap 450E John Deere Baler that works great for us. The 450E is not adjustable in size and the bale pressure is not adjustable. It looks like you have the plastic wrap about right on coverage to me, but I have never used silage wrapped hay, so that's just my opinion. I am new to your videos, so I am going to check out some of your content and I may subscribe later. You did a great job on explaining a lot of things, love your honesty. Thanks for sharing!
always abit funny and interesting to see how its done over there compared to here, im in Norway and ive baled all kinds of grass, hay and straw in the last 13y with fixed chamber combi baler units.
my dad has been doing it as an contractor ever since balers where new to the market in the 90s. it has come a looong way both here in europe and in the states it seems but from my perspective it seems like it has slowed down the last decade or 2 over there compared to what im seeing here.
also for clients and our own hay we put on everything from 12-14layers on teh bale. this to ensure its fully airtight and can withstand storage for up to 1,5y. Even after being handled a few times. the extra layers is also helping it surive small punctures from putting it on the ground and birds pecking on em.
on our balers its 2 satelites that goes around the bale while the bale itself "rolls" and the satelites do from 24, 28 and 32 rotations. Ill be honest and say that idk how that will translate to number of rounds on a wrapper like that but if youre experiencing mold issues in your bale you can wrap more on em.
Balewrap is expensive but its cheaper than the loss of forage quality anyway, atleast around here.
if the hay youre wrapping is of good quality it would be a good idea to give it some extra rounds, 10 more would be good imo.
also the bigger bale youre wrapping the more rounds you gotta put on to give it comparable amount of wrap as a smaller one

Thanks for watching!
i have heard 6 to 8 mill per bale and thats 22 to 26 rounds great video we are doing the same thing trying to get better hay to our herds. we have the self loading wrapper and a good hay spear would really help you out. I have been watching and learning is much on it as I can that's how I found your video and your right wrap them all the ones that are below 25 will be good clean hay the ones in the 30 to 40 range will ensile into silage
I agree with you on the bale spear and am considering it. Thanks for watching!
@@farmerscott8041 make sure you get a spear that has the small wedge shapes in the big spear we use coop and blue diamond the big spears have trouble going thru a good bale and just slide them across or flip them over couple a hundred for a good spear at your local coop can't beat that
Good Video! Thanks!!
Farmer Scott, I also have a farm in WV. I currently live an work in NC. I was raised in southern WV but left in 84 to find work. I am up on the farm most every weekend doing stuff. I also bought a wrapper last year. We wrapped 45 bales of grass hay and 50 bales of oats. Cows like the silage hay a lot better than dry hay but the went crazy after the silage oats. Where are you located? My farm is Sandstone which is about 20 miles due east of Beckley.
How did your hay turn out after wrapping it
As long as you wrap them within 24 hrs from baling you'll be fine
You're too honest with your answers. Lol
How many bales do you get wrapped from a roll of wrap?
Approx 28 bales, double wrapped. 4x4 size. I love the wrapper machine.
