Static Bale Wrapper

frazzledhome

Anyone here using one?
Any comments good or bad?
What make would be best?
Are they costly to purchase?

I had one the first of the kvernelands. I used to draw about 150 bales into the yard for wrapping. I often spent all night wrapping to have the yard clear for the milk lorry in the morning I also used a remote controlled static wrapper. I use a trailed wrapper now and wrap in the field less pressure than wrapping in the yard but you'll have a constant battle with crows.

Followed a mc hale trailed ber for years that we used to set up to static wrap in the yard in a few spots, just left it running off the tractor and used another tractor to lift bales on/stack, it had the older type infra red remote which could be a balls on sunny days, newer ones are rf type remotes and will work without having to point it at the receiver as far as I know,

Big pro is bales are straight into the stack with only a single handling wrapped, but then there's the job of drawing them in to it, really depends on what you have available to draw them in/labour available, if you had 2 decent trailers a lad to draw and a lad in the field to load you'd never stop, or a keltec either I guess.

The biggest thing is you need room at the stack to keep the trailer and wrapper close together right at the stack, the wrapper will always be done before the loader can do a full cycle.
