Napanee, Ontario | And see how fun it is.
On our old Kvernland table with the load arm, from dump to dump (driving up to next bale with load arm, load, wrap, dump, next) it was about 2 min, 20 seconds.
2.33 x 2000 / 60 = 78 hours. Might not seem like a lot, but when you realize that this hay needs to be wrapped ideally within 6 -12 hours after wrapping, you start to see where the bottleneck is pretty fast. Spent a lot of nights wrapping till the sun came up, And into the next day. Just stupid.
Get an inline. Unless you are selling them, it's better in every other regard besides that factor.
-Probably 40-50 percent less wrap.
-30 seconds per bale.
-Ours has a remote so you only need one guy - operates the wrapper from the loading tractor.
-You don't need to set the bales on the ground first. One tractor, one guy loading them right into the wrapper. To load them right into the wrapper with a table you need two tractors running.
-The tube has less foot print.
Yes, if a rip happens, you will lose a couple bales instead of one. So don't chintz on the plastic. 6 to 7 wraps. Use the good plastic. We actually have less rip problems with the tube then the table. Unless of course you want to throw money out the window and wrap the bale with 20 layers.
