Wrapping Site
• Select a site that will allow room to make an adequate bale row length.
•
Site should be free of grass and debris which can attract rodents that damage plastic film.
• There should be space for at least 50 bales in a row.
•
Select a site that is accessible in winter conditions and does not flood in the spring.
• Avoid soft ground, as the wrapper will not move forward smoothly if it is sinking into the ground.
• Operate on level ground or a slight uphill grade for best bale row compaction.
