Anybody found a "best way" or tool/machine design to remove frozen Net Wrap from Round bales?

[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1782533, member: 968"] Exactly, it saves hay stored outside. Rain sheds off the bales better with net wrap. I may not get the super low temps Canadians get, but we have a very moist cold. We put up mostly baleage (net wrapped & plastic wrapped) - but - I also put up some dry bales stored outside. I would much rather pull net wrap off a frozen dry bale than any kind of twine. I used to have sisal, then plastic, then net wrap. Never go back! When we have frozen bales, I drop the front end loader on top of the bale and squish it down. It breaks up the ice/frozen snow all the way down to bottom - if you squish it good enough. I may drop the bracket bar several places on the top of the bale before picking it up. I never tried dropping it, but I can see where that would work. [/QUOTE]
