[QUOTE="somn, post: 238420, member: 3721"] El_Putzo I apologize you are absolutly right I know nothing about your setup after you have described your setup it sounds as if you could use an old Hesston Stacker model 10. Then there would be no twine strings at all. You mentioned time spent gathering up netwrap balls negates the time saved netwrapping in the field you have obviously never ran a baler with netwrap 9 seconds to netwrap and eject the bale compared to 45 seconds to properly tie a twine bale good enough to haul it any distance. Any bales that are not fed in a round bale feeder are ran thru a tub grinder with the net wrap still on not much time lost there. The wrap costs me $1.04 per bale per year. Thats alot less than the amount of capital it would take to build a shed and insure a shed to hold 4200 bales for six months a year. Then the wind comes up and rips the roof off so you pay a higher premium after getting that fixed. Sure you could depreciate the shed or you can write off the wrap as an expense. Same thing. I guess everyone runs a business differently. Some people on this board are cattle feeders some are cow calf grazers put on whatever shoe fits. But the one thing I know for sure neither one will survive long without the other. Before questioning my ability to read you may want to see the original post when tom4018 asked quote" Does it keep much better than hay that is just twined wrapped when stored outside?" Maybe it is you that has trouble reading. You questioning my reading ability considering your ability to read is kinda like the pot calling the kettle black.
