[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1777038, member: 26138"] We target 5-7 but will step it up for stalkier forage or bales that are squatty. Anything with a hard stalk can have a tendency to punch through if there's not enough film, and the film tube helps support the bales as they're coming off the wrapper. Usually three rolls will do 100 bales or so, Sunfilm Gold and a Vermeer BW5500 wrapper, which is a sorry piece of junk as far as I'm concerned. After late June we worry more about it being too dry rather than too wet for the most part. Precut bales don't go through the mixer that well to start with, and if they're dry it's even worse.
