    The grabber is a WIFO. We've had to do some repairs several times, but then it has handled a lot of bales over 15 years. Balage gaves a grabber much more of a workout than dry hay will. In the northeastern US it is distributed by Cummings and Bricker.

    @klondikebeef Hi! Thank you for the compliment! On a year with normal rainfall we have 500 to 550 bales generally. Unfortunately, it seems like we only get one good year anymore and then have 2 or 3 drought years.

    Are those bales dry hay? I just bought a used SW2500 and thought they were mostly for silage bales.

    We tie the bale wrap to the netwrap so that it goes across the end of the bale first, and then when it gets to the side it is already spread out some.

    What brand of bale squeezer is that one? I'm in the market to buy one and don't know much about them.

    How do you get the plastic to stick to the balf for the first few wraps? Tuck it under the twine? I'm used to the row bailers.

    Those are balage, and not dry hay. We do all of our hay as balage.
