[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 239237, member: 1017"] Somn: I appreciate your apology, albeit a sarcastic one. You are right, pretty much any baler that puts a decent amount of hay in a bale that will stay together, will work for the bales we put in the barn. The bales stored outside however, (usually not more than 100 or so) are a different story. Your assumption is wrong again on me not running a net wrap baler before also. I have run and ridden with the in-laws as they baled. I can't say this for all models, but their NH 688 will not put 2.5 wraps on a bale in 9 seconds. As I said, they may be doing it all wrong putting that many wraps on a bale, but if I'm not mistaken, that is what NH recommends. It also does not take me 45 seconds to wrap a bale with twine using our NH BR740. I haven't timed it lately, but I'd guess it's less than 30 seconds. Not nearly as good as your 9 seconds, but the difference is negligible on the 400 or so bales we do each year. So now instead of spending the 15 seconds you said in your original post to take the netwrap off, you just put it in the tub grinder with the netwrap still on the bale. Good for you, I'd prefer not to feed my cows plastic if I can help it. The way I see it, it's a simple matter of logistics. Did you happen to ask the original poster if he is putting up 4000+ round bales per year? I didn't either, but I would venture to guess he's putting up closer to the amount that we do, than you. I am also sorry to hear of the wind ripping the roof off your barns, I guess we have been lucky so far. As far as tom's question of whether the netwrapped hay kept any better, I more than adequately answered that question. If you recall, my answer to that question (which was the 2-3% difference in spoilage) was the basis for you're whole post trying to run me down. As for me insulting you, I'm pretty sure anyone who cares to know, can go back and reread who started belittling who first. Have a fine day, I am done with this thread. [/QUOTE]
