1.5 Tips and recommendations for high-qual-
ity silage
The Anderson round bale wrapper is the ideal machine for
excellent silage. However, for the best possible bales, you
must also know when and how to harvest and wrap your
feed.
When should you cut for a quality harvest?
Good silage depends on two starting conditions: having
the right amount of sugar in the plants as they are
growing, and an adequate moisture content in the plants
once they are cut. When these conditions are met, you just
need to seal the plants in an airtight environment for
excellent silage.
The quality of the raw material also influences the quality
of the silage. For good silage, you first and foremost have
to harvest plants with peak nutritional value! Forage crops
should be cut when they have reached their peak sugar
levels, so that they will ferment well, as well as their peak
protein level, so that they are nutritious. The plants are in
their vegetative stage at this time. Grasses (timothy grass
(millet), brome grass, orchard grass, etc.) should be cut
once the ears start to emerge, just before maturity.
Legumes (alfalfa, red or white clover, lotus, etc.) should
be cut when 10% are flowering.
More mature crops produce a better yield and contain
more fibre. However, once put in storage, they tend to
deteriorate after a few months. Early cutting results in a
more flavourful product. It also leads to quick regrowth
and makes second and third cuttings possible.
The quality of the product also depends on the cutting
methods, and if needed, the drying or spinning methods.
For example, wide and even swaths produce more solid
and uniform bales.
Additionally, avoid contaminating the forage with soil,
manure or old crop residues.
When should you press for a quality harvest?
Before pressing the forage, the moisture content of the cut
hay should have decreased just enough, but not too
much. For the forage to keep for at least a year, the ideal
moisture content is approximately 50% for both grasses
and legumes(ranging from 40% to 55%).
To determine the moisture content of your forage, you can
use a microwave or a moisture tester.
If your pressed hay contains too much moisture, butyric
acid could form and prevent some of the fermentation
needed to preserve the silage. The hay must be used
within 3 months of being wrapped.
How do you do the pressing properly?
It is best to wrap the bales as quickly as possible after
pressing, since the bale begins fermenting as soon as
pressing occurs. A maximum delay of 12 hours is
recommended, and much less if it is very hot outdoors.

Anderson Group Round Bale Wrapper – Operator's Manual 13

lEliminate any defects that may compromise safety.
lImmediately repair any leaks or damage to the
equipment's hydraulic system.
lDo not use your fingers to search for a
(pressurized) hydraulic oil leak. Instead, use an
object, such as a piece of cardboard, to find the
source of the leak.
lImmediately replace any damaged or defective
guards or locks. Original guards affixed to the
machine must not be removed or modified.
lThe hoses must not come from piping used in
another system.
lImmediately replace any damaged hoses.
2.5 Protective devices for inline bale wrap-
pers sold in the province of Quebec
Since March 2009, agricultural manufacturers, as well as
distributors and resellers of inline bale wrappers, must
comply with the regulations issued by the CNESST that
apply specifically to wrappers sold in Quebec.
Additional protectors are installed on the wrapper to limit
access from the side and front of the machine.
Additionally, guards are installed to protect the wheel that
drives the rotation of the hoop and stretchers.
If these protectors are removed for
transport, maintenance, or storage
purposes, Anderson Group wishes to
remind you that they must be
reinstalled before using the machine.

3 Getting started
3.1 Before you start
Before operating your wrapper, make sure that:
lThe hydraulic oil tank is full. The oil level should be
5 cm (2 in.) from the cap (Figure 7). Add AW 32
or AW 46 hydraulic oil to the tank if needed.
lThere is enough fuel.
lThe wrapper is well lubricated (see "Lubrication"
on page 51).
lThere is enough engine oil (Figure 8).

Figure 8 — Location of the Engine Oil Gauge
3.2 Choosing a site
Choose a place to wrap the tube and your individual bales
that is:
lEasily accessible all year round. Consider possible
snow coverage during winter.
lFlat, clean and has good drainage. If needed, mow
the area or treat it with herbicide (Roundup) to
keep rodents away during the winter and prevent
them from damaging the plastic film.
NOTE: If the ground has a slight slope, start your
tube at the bottom. Back your wrapper up
the hill. Your tube will be more
compressed and will contain less air.
If you are wrapping in Individual
mode, make sure that the bale
cannot roll into an unsuitable
location when it is ejected from the
machine.
3.3 Starting the engine
To start the engine:
1. Close the safety guard (Figure 1, number 2), pull
the emergency stop button ( Figure 3 , number
12) and turn the engine key to the On position.
The engine will not start if the guard(right side)
is open, if the emergency stop button has been
pushed or if the engine key is in the Off position.
2. Push the start button (green) on the control
panel ( Figure 3, number 13) or turn the engine
key to the Start position.
NOTE: If you are starting it for the first time that
day (a cold start), you will have to use the
choke. See the engine manual for
instructions.
3.4 Moving the wrapper
You will likely have to move your wrapper to the place
where the wrapped bales will be stored. When moving
your wrapper, follow all the safety guidelines and
recommendations in this section.
You can move the wrapper in two ways: by using the
wrapper traction or by towing it with a tractor or truck.
Moving the wrapper short distances
Your wrapper can travel short distances (several hundred
metres) on its own.
To move the wrapper using its own traction system:
1. Close the guard (Figure 1, number 2) and pull the
emergency stop button ( Figure 3 , number 12).
The engine will not start if the guard is open or
the emergency stop button is pushed.

2. Start the engine by pressing the start button
(Figure 3, number 13).
3. Use the engine speed control lever to run the
engine at full speed (see the figure below).
Figure 9 — Engine Speed Control Lever
4. Move the selection valve lever toTransport
position(Figure 3, number 8).
5. With the hydraulic controls, move the wrapper
using the front wheel drive levers (to move
forward or backward) and steering levers (to
turn)(Figure 3, numbers 4 and 6).
Moving the wrapper medium distances
Use extreme caution when hitching
and unhitching the equipment.
Before proceeding, securely
immobilize the equipment with the
devices provided.
Do not tow the wrapper behind a
tractor or truck for more than 50 km.
This will result in premature wear on
parts such as bearings and tires. To
transport it over longer distances,
put the wrapper on a trailer.
Turn off the engine before moving
the wrapper.
During transport, the front wheels of
the machine should not touch the
ground.
A safety chain must be used to
prevent your wrapper from causing
an accident if it comes loose.
Close the fuel shutoff valve before
moving the wrapper. If the valve
stays open, fuel can get into the
cylinder and flood the engine.
NOTE: The instructions in this manual for
hitching the equipment to the tractor are
provided for reference only.
NOTE: Ensure that the tractor or truck meets the
required specifications before hitching the
equipment (see Table 3).
You can hitch your wrapper to a tractor or truck to move it
less than 50 km.
To do so:
1. Retract the spear carriage into the chassis.
2. Ensure that the front deck ball valve is open.
3. Using the pivoting axle lever, raise the wrapper
until the front deck is all the way up (Figure 10).
