    I'm hoping to wrap about two hundred bales Saturday. Contractor bailing with a fusion baler. Some rain on the way after lunch Saturday. Any idea how long it would take the contractor with a fusion to bale and wrap 200 bales.

    Thanks

    How heavy is the crop- how big is the rake

    I think the crop will yield seven to eight bales per acre. The contractor has a decent size swarter. I think it covers about 30 foot.

    How big are the fields?
    Are the fields level?

    In four level fields close together. Not much moving required.

    Get them hauled in with a keltec and they'll be in the yard within an hour of the baler leaving.

    It'll take about 5 hours to do it between changing a few rolls of plastic and everything
