Filmed at the end of May 2020, making some round bales of haylage.

Interesting procedure. My hay experience was long ago feeding rectangular bails with double twine for horses. Everything was moisture driven. Thank you for your explanation.😷👍

[@backyardmechanic921]

Good video, didn't know how a wrapper worked but you explained well. Never had any thing like that in my day, all small bales and as heavy as lead. Farmer was a tight arse and he wouldn't buy more string than he had to.

[@caragray7010]

Claas make great bales out of that kinda dry stuff, lv a 250 rc, l usually go an extra few yards once the buzzer goes because there about 4 second before the net starts, lv also that problem with the new roll of net. Nice weather, weather more mixed now, up here in Scotland anyways.

Great weather at the minute great video as always

Tidy job. A good easy season for hay(lage) this year👍. Can't beat good hay!

[@mrhighnellie4615]

Very interesting. Never seen s bale wrapper working before 👌

[@gabrielbrookesagri9752]

I guessed 48 bales and it was 48 bales in total! Great vid Dan , love your vids👍😁

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video dan, hopefully bit of rain get the grass growing.

[@johnholsey5294]

Looks like it'll make some good fodder. When wrapping, especially on a hot day I like to leave the wrap rolls covered to stop them heating up as much. Helps to stop it ripping when you don't want it too

[@CowfarmerDan]

We find it goes a bit better when warm!

[@gregbailey2781]

Nice looking bales

[@bobpaterson1845]

[@msheep66]

Another excellent video.

[@johnsheahan7914]

Great video as always keep safe and mind yourself dan

[@yant8777]

Hi Dan good vid.I have a class 255,similar to yours.I feel 18 wraps is a bit skimpy for dry material like that.Id go 20 at least,just saying,dont mean to be critical.Thanks for taking the time and effort to show us all this.

[@CowfarmerDan]

We're feeding the bales already, most won't see the winter!

[@antonyfarming]

Great video nice bale's and gotta be careful moving wrapped bale's 😬

[@davidlongman2341]

Is there any advantage beyond labour saving in big bales, also why plastic wrap them. Does it alter the hay from plain baling, or simply protect them better than barn storage.

[@CowfarmerDan]

This wasn't hay, still green so needed wrapping to preserve it.

[@davidlongman2341]

@@CowfarmerDan When the hay is unwrapped later in the year has it fermented at all or is it pretty much still as it was when wrapped. Is this wrapping a method of silageing or simply storage. Love your videos by the way.

[@philipbutler9404]

Like the class bailer how long you had it does a good job you had any more round balers the wrapper is good didn't realise so much wrapping was used per bale keep these videos coming.

[@CowfarmerDan]

We had it new in 2007. It replaced a Claas 44s.

[@Spiked2005]

Is it cheaper to bail haylage than buy it?

[@Mickjd-zb2ce]

Hi Dan quick question did you cut the silage where you re-seeded with the barley and peas yet if not would love to see an update on it. Cheers 👍Great video again.

[@CowfarmerDan]

Not cut it yet, won't be long now though. Video will be up when it's done.

[@colinwilliam919]

How do you stop dusty hay or what creates dusty hay

[@ducky_dan_2296]

How long does it take to ferment when you wrap it?

[@tonee4227]

4 to 6 weeks ideally. But you can feed straight away if you want to

[@ginggur17]

It doesn’t seem 5 mins since you were doing this last year.

[@OutofTownwithRobinBell]

👍

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌🇨🇦❤

[@AgriVideos1]

Why did you go for a drop nose Massey if you haven’t got a loader on it?

[@CowfarmerDan]

All 5700s are steep bonnet, there is no other option. It's ideal for front linkage work.

[@upcloseandpersonalpromotions]

Dan we had a mchale 911 bjs
