Haying in Sept

HD or Dylan, $15.00 a bale to wrap? Is that an in-line or single bale wrapper? If single, are the bales stacked for this price.

There is about $5.50 worth of plastic on a single bale and maybe $3.00 on the in-line on 5x5 bales. Pretty easy to wrap 30-35 bales an hour on singles. Good rate for the guy wrapping.

David used a McHale Fusion 2 baler that chops bales wraps with net wrap then moves it to another chamber to be wrapped with plastic. He charges me $16 per bale. It is quite a machine.

The plastic I think costs around 8 a bale for it, can't remember anymore. These bales are not 5x5 they are 4x4 at best and the ones I bought from him a few years ago to try ,weighed 700 pounds at best.

Well worth it if you need to get your crop put up and it is a very wet year and there is no possible way you can swath graze. I bet he did well this year. :wink:

For sure David has been going steady, and probably will all fall.
