[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 242146, member: 968"] Tube lines - a large "bag" or tube made out of plastic is pulled over a line of wet bales. It's one big bag. In Line - [img]http://www.simmevalley.com/tractor.jpg[/img] There are rolls of plastic on the large reel, that goes around & around the bales - while a ram is pushing the wrapper forward, making the wraps about 4 inches apart. So when you're done, you have about 5 layers of plasic wrap over each part of the bale. Well, over the round outside - not the flat ends. The ends are pushed tight against each other - no air allowed. The wrapped bales are stationary, the wrapper is pushing itself uphill. Hard to picture - but in the picture, the wrapper's back end is a ramp down to the ground. As the bales are wrapped & pushed they gradually end up on the ground. I'm not making much sense. As the wet bale is being pushed by a hydrolic ram, it forces the wrapper to roll up hill and the bales are wrapped & deposited on the ground in one big line. The picture is me in my tractor loading bales, but normally, I load them with a skidsteer - much easier and faster to operate!!! and much easier on my "clutch" leg. [/QUOTE]
