After Wrapping
After wrapping, inspect the rows of silage regularly to insure there is no damage
occurring from birds, rodents or livestock.
Feeding out
With the Stretch-O-Matic
®
bale wrapper, bales can be picked up by a loader without
cutting the plastic. The plastic breaks away between the bales and can be removed
from the side of the bales before dropping the bales in the feeder.
Bale conservation
With Stretch-O-Matic
®
wrapped bales, the bales do not spoil as the line is fed. Unlike
long bags of bales, the stretch wrap prevents air from moving pass the bales and
causing the bales at the far end of the line to heat.
As the next bale is undisturbed, it will not spoil for one or two days in warm weather and
for at least one week in cooler weather.
Disposal of plastic
Users of bale wrappers are encouraged to collect all plastic to prevent it from becoming
an environmental problem. If there is a high temperature incinerator in your area, the
plastic can be safely burned without producing hazardous by-products.
Plastic, although bulky, is inert in a landfill and will not pollute ground water.
Manufacturers are making serious efforts to economically recycle silage plastic.
Until a recycling service is available collect and dispose of all plastic.
Unsightly used silage plastic film will encourage complaints.
