[QUOTE="eric, post: 111752, member: 7"] Have any of you guys used the round bale sleeves for covering the bales. They appear to be a fairly thick plastic sleeve which just slides over the bale. They are about $55 for 25 sleeves, so around $2 a sleeve. Do these work as well as covering with tarps? I realize the ends of the roll will be exposed, but only the ends on outside rolls as long as I stacked the rolls really close, end to end. This seems like a better way than having to wrestle with a huge tarp, especially in the winter time when its cold and very windy and sometimes snowing/sleeting. Just pull up, stab a couple of rolls, and pull the sleeve off, hang it in the barn and let it dry out, and hopefully get a few yrs out of the sleeves. Again, these are put over the rolls after baling, because wrapping the bales at baling wasnt an option with the hay I am getting this yr. These sleeves are 6' diameter x 6' long. My bales are 5' x 5'. Any feedback welcome, pro / cons? [/QUOTE]
