Haybob or wuffler on second cut

cacs

I am waiting for the weather to cut second cut I know I might have to wait weeks. I have a haybob and I was wondering which would be better to use to help dry or maybe even wilt second cut silage a haybob or a wuffler. I have a hay Bob and I can hire a wuffler. I was thinking could run over the rows when it's cut with the haybob and leave the gates open as it was being rowed up. Would it not do the same job as wuffler I have never used a wuffler. All feed back welcome

In my experience a haybob is not the best option, your contractor will not thank you, but it will do if it's your only option. A couple of runs with a wuffler and 2 days of wilting should be sufficient, weather permitting, you'll get better packed bales.

Thanks that makes sense I wasn't sure

Hardly worth your while hiring a wuffler when you already have the haybob there
Another option could be to:
Shake it out with the hay bob and get contractor to rake into 30ft rows.

Personally my favourite option would be to leave it in the conditioner rows and just hope we get a decent fortnights weather and it'll wilt well enough

Do most lads wilt for 2 days now, ?-
-mow it flat, give it 24 hours and rake it into rows??? ... kind of gambling leaving it down for long,with the weather as changable as it is
