    For those of you supplying your own bale wrap, what's it costing per roll?
    Do you prefer any particular brand.
    I'm paying €72 per roll for Volac. How does it compare?

    €55 for Visqueen from Cassidy's in Ballyconnell when you buy a full pallet.
    A lot of places advertising cheap wrap on the local papers but when you ring them up its Quinn Wrap that they have. I won't ever use Quinn wrap again after last year. It is a very poor quality. I had a lot of waste because of it last year. Better to spend a few extra euro per roll and you will save in the long run.

    50 rolls per pallet.

    He will still sell it per roll at under €60.

    This price includes VAT but not levy.

    I rang him before I went to cassidy and he told me that it was 55 + Vat :(
    But it wasn't Phelim I was talking to.
    Maybe he got it wrong with the quote

    spot on,
    we bought durapak from a young lad starting out on his own, 61 bales from the 2 rolls on the mahale fusion

    If anyone out there is putting on Quinn wrap I advise that you put on 5 layers - thats 20 turns on an ordinary wrapper. Any less and you'll have a lot of mushrooms. Wrapped bales for a neighbour with it at the weekend and I don't think I have ever seen as bad of wrap.

    dont think you can put on 5 layers , wrappers can only be set at 4 or 6

    Every 4 turns of the wrapper is a layer. 16 turns is 4 layers, 20 turns is 5 layers. Its no problem at all on my wrapper. You don't need to set the wrapper, just keep it turning till it reaches 20.

    Hmmm not sure thats right. If you stop the wrapper table after just 4 turns the bale would only be half covered. You need to go 8 turns to fully cover the bale so because the wrap overlaps by 50% you can only put on two layers at a time so its 2, 4 or 6 layers only, no 5 layers. 20 turns of the table would put 4 layers on half the bale and 6 on the other half.

    silotite in Liffeys 72e incl the levy

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Why is the levy on some and not on the other, its seems the nearer the border the more likely the levy is dropped.

    No levy in N Ireland........need I say more?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 Tom C


    in the border their is no levy but what i do is buy one roll of wrap in the south and get my number to get rid of it then by the rest in the north for 55 euro a roll no problem and get rid of it all great job

    my son took over baling with the mc hale yesterday while the boss was attending a funeral

    he rang the next customer to say he was on route and to have the plastic ready as he was literally up the wall and needed to get going straight away, was informed that the wrap in the field and to make 'friesian' bales

    4 rolls of white and 4 rolls of black was waiting for him


    we used the grease years ago and can't say if it worked or not but I do remember that some of the bales were left over for the following year and the plastic was rotten on them if this was due to grease i don;t know.

    I think the stuff we are using is called that. It is in a red and blue box? If it is then we have been using it for the past 3 years and it has been excellent with no wastage.

    We used to religiously use Volac for years until they changed suppliers and it all got crap, and we fell out with the supplier anyway!

    That's the stuff. I changed to it last year from Co-Op Source and found it to be every bit as good in quality and about €4 a roll cheaper.

    I used it last year for the first time had no problems or waste.
