Advantages to High Moisture Hay

High moisture hay has many advantages over traditional dry hay.

High moisture hay provides:

• Lower harvesting time

• Cuts to feeding costs

• Increases ADG (Average Daily Gain)

• Minimizes storage loss

• Less reliance on favorable weather.

Section 1: General Information

Usage

This machine is designed to wrap round bales in a continual row with plastic lm.

Suitable Wrapping Timeframe

Use a hard-core baler to make the well-shaped and rm bales necessary for successful wrapping.

Bales are best wrapped as soon as possible after baling. If bales are left unwrapped they will sag and
lose shape. Heating will start soon after baling and protein quality will be lost. It is desirable to wrap
within four hours. In an emergency, the bales can be left 12 to 16 hours.

The Tubeline wrapper makes timely harvest possible by reducing the dependence on the weather.
It is much easier to get to wilt silage than to make dry hay. This also extends the working day, as the
correct moisture to bale extends earlier and later in the day.

For more information visit

http://tubeline.ca/silage.php

Bales

The TL50LSV will wrap round bales up to 6’. This machine
is NOT intended to wrap square bales.

Wrapping Straw

Only two layers of plastic are necessary to weather-protect
straw with the TL50LSV. Dry straw may be wrapped
continually without spaces. Straw with moisture is best
wrapped with spaces in the plastic.
