Which Netwrap for my Baling Machine?

So which net wrap will suit your particular make and model of round bale machinery? Please find a list of most commonly used round baling machines and their corresponding bale net wrap width size requirements.

Please note that some round baling machinery is able to take narrow ‘side to side’ 1.23m width net wrap, while others will take ‘wide edge’ 1.25m wide net, while other machines will take wider 1.3m wide net wrap, which will cover edge sides of the bale. However, the machinery is generally set up to accommodate any one particular width size at any time, and are generally not interchangeable without adjusting the machinery. Machines that offer variable width netwraps are certain models of John Deere, Khun, New Holland and Welger.

We also stock the 1.25m ‘wide edge’ netwrap which seems to be the preferred choice of Welger and Krone ‘Komprima’ round baler machine owners.

How Many Wraps per Bale

Our recommendations for number of wraps per bale is as follows:
Silage Bales – 3x round / Hay Bales – 4x round / Straw – 5x round.
Higher compression machinery as well as bigger variables in climate (heat and cold), moisture and other influencing factors can mean that more net is required for bales left outside for 12 months or more.

*** while we do our best to provide an accurate guide, baling machinery changes and most machines are set up differently, so please ensure you always double check the net wrap your machine is currently using and set up for before ordering with us.
