[QUOTE="Wick, post: 702539, member: 5504"] To those who have replied, how would/do you justify the costs of purchasing a wrapper. The single bale wrappers are around $14000 or more and the tube line are 20000 or better. With cattle prices so low how does one justify the costs. Its better feed but vs. other options covers, or putting in barn do you really think it is a great advantage? As you can see I'm on the fence here, and thinking about investing in a single bale wrapper but just dont know if it is cost effective for me to do so. I typically feed 350-400 4x5 rolls a winter and do all my own hay on my own place. Already have the baler but would need another tractor to run wrapper. So theres my dilema. I like the feed of wrapped hay but dont know if it would pay to purchase one to do my own. It costs me $6.00 a blae to get it wrapped by someone else, but as usuall I feel it is a bother for them to wrap my hay. Thanks for all the input. [/QUOTE]
