[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1610450, member: 37941"] Twine: I've switched from plastic to non-treated sisal which I don't even take off the bale. Heavy bales: The bales are deceptively heavy. I've had some "entertaining" moments with the skid loader when I forget its a silage bale and not a dry bale going down a slope. Be careful. Stacking: The flat sides of a round bale when wrapped have a lot of layers. You should stack them on that side when using a hugger. Tape: I keep a large supply of 3M packing tape on hand to patch holes/tears. Actually its a task my kids get every couple months. It's not as tedious as it sounds, haha. Frozen Bales: Last winter was very cold and frankly some of my baleage was too wet. They are fine when wrapped, but be aware that when you unwrap them and say put them in a self feeder they may freeze into large hay ice cubes. [/QUOTE]
