There 15 wrapped 225 to go

Not a hard job, but it does get monotonous

Post a pic or two of the machine, if you get time.

Interesting stuff.

My neighbor gathers the bales and takes them home to wrap and stack in one location. Looks like you go bale to bale to wrap?

I imagine it would get old. I gotta ask, what made you go with an individual bale wrapper rather than renting an inline wrapper. Seems wrap is expensive enough, those individual wrappers have gotta be expensive to run.

The cost for plastic is only a buck or two per bale more, but we have coons and cyotes and other critters that like to run on top of in-line wrap bales, as well as birds, and pick them full of holes. You soon loose what you saved in plastic in spoiled hay.
I also can keep better track of which hay came from what field , first or second cut, just by where I put the bales. And I have no problem selling my surplus hay wrapped individualy , but many guys won't buy bales out of a line, as when they take a load home, the open ends heat, and spoil some.
All bales whether in-line or wrapped at home or in the field , have to be moved. This way , I get them wrapped quicker, and I can move them over a few days , no panic. I have done it all three ways. Bruce

All of those grey things in the back round at first glance look like Canada geese. They look pretty all wrapped up.

Was up til 1am this morning wrapping bales. I haul mine home and wrap them there. My luck wrapping in the field is I always tear the plastic someway somehow on the ride home then have to patch them up.
