Subject: I hit 84 bales/hour with twine......



Alberta, Canada
Angus, what kind of processor do you use?

I love the netwrap on the baling/handling shedding water end of things, but have found that our processors don't catch all the netwrap, so we find little strips of netwrap in the feed/bedding. And since this never breaks down........ I refuse to put net-wrap through the processor again.

The other day I hit 84 bales an hour in straw, with twine..........
............'course those are 3x4x8 big squares......

When I enter that area of capacity, twine costs me more than fuel.

I use the heavier 440/4000 twine, averages about a dollar a bale.

Thanks, your costs for the net are much appreciated,
-Josh
