Suitable Wrapping Timeframe
Use a hard-core baler to make the well-shaped and rm bales necessary for successful wrapping. Bales
are best wrapped as soon as possible after baling. If bales are left unwrapped they will sag and lose shape.
Heating will start soon after baling and protein quality will be lost. It is desirable to wrap within four hours. In an
emergency, the bales can be left 12 to 16 hours.
The Tubeline wrapper makes timely harvest possible by reducing the dependence on the weather. It is much
easier to get to wilt silage than to make dry hay. This also extends the working day, as the correct moisture to
bale extends earlier and later in the day.
