[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1787419, member: 39018"] Would be nice if you could roll it up onto a cardboard center the same as when it went on! Once you get so much on a roll, just dump it on the pile to burn! Probably no way to do that efficiently though without taking at least a measured amount of hay with, and of course, if those bales have been sitting on the ground, a substantial amount of mud as well. And of course, those bales often aren't nearly as "round" as they were when they were made! Whatever "hooks" you'd have on the drum to grab the net would have to be there for each bale you wanted to unroll.... so THAT would be a problem... You'd need some sort of full width "pincher" (the bales when you feed them ARE all perfectly flat all the way across, right?) that would reach against the bale to grab the net, pull back and then feed that piece of net into some rollers that would then feed it onto the collection drum. All sounds great and doable in theory, until you throw in the "frozen muddy bottoms" and out of round, no longer flat across the width factors! [/QUOTE]
