Serious pile of bales.
3100 bales of first cut, surely it would cost a lot less to make a clamp unless its for resale.Serious pile of bales.

Surely a pit of silage would be more efficient and cheaper to make than all those bales? Serious operation in fairness.Serious pile of bales.

Use a blunt wagon:rolleyes2:He says in the comments they have some awkward fields and like the long fibre in the bales,feeding 600 milkers + followers ,must be using 20+ bales a day in winter.

man up the road from us that sold 200 acres of silage to another few miles away will be selling the 2nd cut to same lad again and he thinks it be all bales this time round. whomever gets the job to bale and wrap it be there a few days to get it doneA lot of Lads that make all bales are a bit mad in fairness.
Unless you've used both it's impossible to understand just how much waste there is in pit compared to the bales. Bales are perfect feed 99% of the time, what's pit silage like 5% dung never mind the 18 inches of transition between the top dung and the good feed.
A cousin of mine just went past today with his second 24ft bale trailer load of plastic and netwrap for the year.
5000 bales, to use 100m away from the stack is just bonkers. Imagine the heap of waste plastic about. They say in the comment now fancy machinery needed to feed out. Big loading shovel and shear grab would feed out any amount of silage. Madness3100 bales of first cut, surely it would cost a lot less to make a clamp unless its for resale.
I'm not even going to start on this as to why it's just a no. Too late maybe in the morning.Just build you pit higher and cover it with damper silage to finish to reduce your wastage
Put bales of silage up top if you want to have zero waste. Ever bale of silage I made is one too many in my eyes.I'm not even going to start on this as to why it's just a no. Too late maybe in the morning.
He has a grab for the plastic, I don’t think he hardly gets out to open themJust the thought of having to open each bale instead of taking a grab out of a pit 20 times a day would have you gone mad.
All bales here I have a keltec bale slice on the loader I never get off the tractor when I’m feeding. Don’t need to move tyres full of tyre juice or be sliding around a pit on a frosty morning. Just drive into the stack into the shed slice the bale drop plastic outside and repeat

He'll have to sort the net and wrap at some stage for recycling.He has a grab for the plastic, I don’t think he hardly gets out to open them
We should do a challenge, you decide what part of a bale of my silage I have to eat and I'll choose where you have to eat from your pit.you are supposed to use a sheet on your pit
