1.3 Tips and Recommendations for High-qual-
ity Silage
The Anderson Round Bale Wrapper is the ideal machine for
making excellent silage bales. For the best possible bales,
you must also know how and when to harvest, and how
wrap your feed stock.
When should you cut your hay for a quality har-
vest?
A good quality harvest starts with two conditions: The
right amount of sugar in the growing plants and an
adequate level of humidity once cut. When these
conditions are combined, all you need to do is wrap
quickly and remove as much of the air as possible from the
bales. If you are able to do this correctly, you will have
excellent silage.
The quality of the raw material also influences the quality
of the silage. For good silage, you must harvest your hay
when the plants are at their peak nutritional values. When
hay is cut at its peak sugar levels, it will ferment well and
have an optimal level of protein. Plants are considered to
be in their vegetative stage at this time. For grasses
(timothy grass, millet, brome grass, orchard grass, etc.),
you should cut at the beginning of ear emergence or just
before maturity. For legumes (alfalfa, red or white clover,
lotus, etc), you should cut when the flower is about 10%
developed.
Mature crops give a better return and contain more fibre.
However, once wrapped, they tend to deteriorate after just
a few months. A precocious cut gives a more flavourful
product. It also leads to a quick regrowth and makes
second and third cuttings possible.
The quality of the product also depends on hay
harvesting, raking or curing methods. For example, large
regular field crops produce bales that are more solid and
even.
It is important not to contaminate the fodder with soil,
manure or other residues from previous harvests.
When is the best time for baling?
After drying your hay, you will decide when to bale your
fodder. This will depend on the level of humidity, which
should have decreased enough but not too much. For
fodder to stay good for at least a year, the ideal level of
humidity should be around 50% for both grasses and
legumes, with a possible range of 40% to 55%.
Two easy and effective ways to determine the level of
humidity in your hay are an easy, well-known test using a
microwave or humidity tester.
If your baled hay contains too much humidity, butyric acid
will form and could prevent the fermentation necessary to
conserving your silage. Such hay must be used within 3
months.

Anderson Group Round Bale Wrapper RB-200 – Operator's Manual 9
How can you obtain a quality bale?
During baling, the tractor driver has a large impact on the
quality of the future silage. We recommend proceeding
slowly and keeping the tractor’s power take-off at high
rpm to obtain high-density bales. You should also ensure
that you bales are firm and even. They will be easier to
wrap and they will produce continuous and more airtight
bale rows and silage with higher nutritional value.
When should you wrap your bales?
We recommend wrapping your bales as soon as possible
after baling, since this is when fermentation within the
bale begins. We recommend waiting no longer than 12
hours and a much shorter period if the outside
temperature is high.

2 Safety Measures
Your Anderson Bale Wrapper was designed to minimize the
risks for the operator. You should never use it in any way
other than for its intended purpose. Misuse of the machine
may cause you or others serious injury.
The wrapper has a hydraulic system and moving
mechanical parts.All these elements may cause serious and
even deadly injuries to people and livestock. Therefore, it
is strongly recommended that you carefully read all the
following advice.
Operator Qualities and Skills
Before operating your Anderson Wrapper, familiarize
yourself with the procedures in this manual and insist that
all other users also follow them. Be sure anyone using your
wrapper :
lIs responsible
lHas been properly trained to operate the wrapper
safely
lKnows the emergency telephone numbers
lKnows where to find your first aid kit
Using the Wrapper
Only use the wrapper to wrap round hay bales 1.2-1.52 m
(4- 5 ft.) in length and 1.68 m (66 in.) and less in
diameter. Avoid all other uses, such as transporting
people, livestock or hay bales.
Safety Perimeter
It is essential you are not interrupted during the operation
of this machine. You must be the only person to move
around and especially behind the wrapper during
operation.
Maintain a 5-meter security perimeter
(16 ft) around the machine, when in
operation. Remove all people,
especially children and animals, from
the wrapping site. Failure to do so
may cause serious, even deadly,
injuries.
Safe Hitching to the Tractor
To make sure the machine does not move while wrapping,
choose a flat location.
The wrapper should be hitched to the tractor's mobile
hydraulic bars (3-point hitch) and these hitches should be
locked with the pins (Figure 4.
Figure 4 - Safe Hitching
Basic Safety Guidelines
Never stand on the wrapper or allow
anyone using the wrapper to stand
on it.
Climbing on the machine may lead to
serious injury, even death. This is
one of the main causes of accidents
related to the use of the wrapper.
Before starting the wrapper:
lLocate and understand all warning stickers on the
wrapper.
lKnow how to stop your wrapper in the case of an
emergency.
lMake sure that all the tractor's options and levers
are in the neutral position (OFF) before starting the
engine.
lRemove any hay or other debris that may be stuck
in any of the moving parts of the machine to be
sure that they move freely when the wrapper is
running.
lImmediately replace any defective or worn parts.
NOTE: Please refer to 7 for a full description of
the required maintenance.
While operating the wrapper:
lKeep your hands and feet far from moving parts:
chains, gears, blade, etc. Be cautious with the
plastic cutter blade.

Anderson Group Round Bale Wrapper RB-200 – Operator's Manual 11
lWear protective clothing. Avoid scarves and loose
clothing (pants, shirts or coats) that may get stuck
in the equipment’s moving parts.
lWear suitable hearing protection. Hearing
protection will reduce the risk of hearing loss,
which can be caused by continuous exposure to
the noise from the wrapper.
lUse a mask approved for working in dusty
conditions.
lIf you are working in the evening or at night,
ensure that the lighting is sufficient to operate in
complete safety.
lEnsure you have a working extinguisher available.
lAlways leave the protective screens and other
safety devices in place. If these parts are removed
or damaged, do not use your wrapper until they
have been fixed or replaced.
Before repairing or replacing anything on your wrapper:
lStop the tractor engine.
lRemove the tractor’s ignition key in order to be
certain it will not start accidentally while you are
working.
lRelease the oil pressure before walking under
certain hydraulically lifted parts and be cautious
with the plastic cutter blade.
Hydraulic Oil Handling
Hydraulic fluid is a flammable substance. Keep it in its
original container or in approved packaging and always be
careful when you fill the tank. Once filling is complete, put
the tank cap back on and tighten it firmly. Then wipe up
any oil that may have been spilled. Never add oil when the
engine is hot or running. Have a working fire extinguisher
on the baling site at all times.
A pressurized oil leak can cause serious injury. Do not use
your hands to locate a leak. Instead, use an object, such as
a piece of cardboard. Turn off the engine and release the
pressure before unplugging or replugging the lines. Firmly
tighten all couplings before turning on the engine or
reapplying hydraulic pressure.
Should any hydraulic oil have contact
with your skin, quickly consult a
doctor familiar with such injuries.
Any untreated contact with hydraulic
oil may lead to serious injury, in the
hours to follow, including
amputation.
Moving the Bale Wrapper
If driving on public roads, you must follow all applicable
signage rules in effect in your area.
When moving the wrapper, the parts with the label shown
in Figure 5 must be locked, as illustrated in Figure 6.

4.2).
Figure 15 – Attaching the Plastic Film
NOTE: The plastic film can become
soft and sticky if it is left for a
long time in the heat of the
sun. You will notice when the
film is being applied that it
may break more often or
holes begin to appear in the
plastic when on the wrapped
bale. Make sure to store your
rolls of plastic film in a cool
dark place where they are
shielded from the sun.
NOTE: The rollers of the stretcher
should always be clean and
should turn freely to keep the
plastic film from jamming or
tearing.
If needed, see section 7.4 to
learn how to clean and
maintain the stretcher rolls.

16 Operator's Manual – Round Bale Wrapper RB-200 Anderson Group
3.7 Testing the Stretcher's Functioning
To make sure your stretcher is working properly:
1. Draw a 25 cm (10 in.) horizontal line on your roll
of plastic film with a marker.
2. Turn your rotating table about one turn and stop
it.
3. When your line has completely crossed the
aluminium rolls, measure it on the bale.
If the mark stretches up to 16.5 inches, your stretcher is
working properly.
If the plastic film is not stretching properly, check the
stretcher's gearwheels. Also check if the roll of plastic and
the free wheel turn freely. Clean the aluminium rollers as
needed (see section 7.4).
3.8 Removing the Plastic Cutter Safety
Device
1. Remove the pin holding the plastic cutter safety
device in place (Figure 16)

4 Wrapping
This section describes the method that the Anderson
Group recommends for wrapping your bales. The steps
you must follow are:
1. Adjusting the wrapper
2. Installing and wrapping the first bale
3. Unloading the first bale
4. Installing and wrapping subsequent bales
This section will also describe what to do once you have
finished wrapping.
4.1 Making Adjustments
Make adjustments to wrap a bale according to your
preferences. You can adjust the following components:
lBale size (support rolls)
lNumber of turns of plastic film on each bale (see
Chapter 5 ).
NOTE: Refer to Chapter 6 to learn
how to make these
adjustments.
4.2 Wrapping the First Bale
1. Place a bale between the guide rollers from the
opposite side of the stretcher, if possible.
The bale will turn counterclockwise.
2. Attach the plastic film near the plastic cutter
(Figure 18).
Figure 18 - Plastic Film
3. Pull your tractor's hydraulic lever to turn the
rotating table.
When the bale has almost reached the maximum
programmed number of turns, you will see the bale
counter screen blink and hear three beeps. (For
how to program the bale counter, see section 5.3).
The wrapper will not stop
automatically when the
number of turns has been
reached.
4. Stop the wrapper when the table is aligned: the
bale axis should be parallel to the tractor's axle and
the blade of the plastic cutter should be pointed
towards the bale being unloaded (Figure 19).
Figure 19 - Position of the wrapper for
unloading
5. On the bale counter, the total number of bales
increases by 1 and, after 15 seconds, the number
of turns per bale returns to 0.
4.3 Unloading a Bale
Tilting the table when it is
improperly aligned can cause major
damage to your machine.

18 Operator's Manual – Round Bale Wrapper RB-200 Anderson Group
1. To tilt the table, pull the lever that activates the
tractor's hydraulic bars (the 3-point hitch).
NOTE: The plastic film has not yet been
cut. It will be cut when the next

2. Once the bale is on the ground, lower the table by
lowering the tractor's hydraulic bars (Figure 20).
Figure 20 - Unloading a Bale
4.4 Placing and Wrapping Subsequent Bales
1. Place a new bale between the feed rollers. The bale
should be placed on the plastic film (Figure 21).
Figure 21 - Placing the Second Bale
The bale will turn counterclockwise.
2. Pull your tractor's hydraulic lever to turn the
rotating table.
NOTE: During this operation, the plastic
cutter will cut the film between the
previous bale and the new bale.
The bale placed on the ground can
therefore be recuperated.
When the bale has almost reched the maximum
number of turns programmed, you will see the bale
counter blink and hear three beeps. (For how to
program the bale counter, see section 5.3).
The wrapper will not stop
automatically when the
number of turns has been
reached.
3. Stop the wrapper when the table is aligned: the
bale axis should be parallel to the tractor's axle and
the blade of the plastic cutter should be pointed
towards the bale being unloaded (Figure 22).
