[QUOTE="johndeerefarmer, post: 241538, member: 2084"] I have a JD 457 with net wrap. In MY opinion it is worth the money. I can wrap a bale in net in a about 5 seconds, twine takes 30-45 seconds. The bales keep their shape better, are easier to transport, and hay and leaves don't blow off while transporting them. JD says that cover edge net wrap bales lose 2% less per 1" of rainfall. As far as removing the wrap. It's easy. I have the bale on my rear fork. Slice the net length wise with my knife. Drive to the field. Drop the bale, then unroll it with the tractor. Go back and pull the loose wrap from the unrolled hay. It doesn't snow or ice much in north Texas, so I don't have much of a problem with frozen bales. Besides, I keep about a months worth in the barn, just for those kind of days....... [/QUOTE]
