The new bale wrapper

We have started our haymaking and so far we have made hay in half of the 10 acre field with the other half currently drying and if the weather stays kind we hope to bale on Monday, the last day of June.
This year we are attempting to make small bale haylage for the horses and we have bought a McHale bale wrapper. Our first attempt today went fairly well, although we have decided the grass is still too moist and we are leaving the rest of the grass until tomorrow. The baler is also using rather more plastic wrapper than it should per bale, so some adjustments will be necessary.

Sorry Nigel for not coming back to you earlier, probably too late now, but we bought our McHale wrapper in April 08 from Bigwood and Partners Ltd, Taunton, Somerset and the Agent is Neil Palmer. We paid £2850 plus VAT. We bought the plastic from Mole Valley in South Molton and we had to buy a pallet of 32 @ £33.00 plus VAT
