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 TL60ECV will wrap round bales up to 6’. It will wrap
square bales up to 6’ wide.

Wrapping Straw

Only two layers of plastic are necessary to weather-protect
straw with the TL60ECV. Dry straw may be wrapped
continually without spaces. Straw with moisture is best
wrapped with spaces in the plastic.

Pre-Operating Inspection

Before wrapping at a new site:

• Check oil tank level. Leave about 1/4” from top of sight guage when lling to avoid overow.

• Check gas tank level.

• Check Tire Pressure.

• Complete a walk around inspection.

• Check engine for hazardous ammable material buildup.

• Check guarding is secure.

Manual Mode Test Run

Test machine in Manual wrap mode without bales and without plastic lm rolls installed.

1. Start engine, refer to Balewrapper Starting,

2. Turn on control panel, refer to

3. Advance bale ram towards hoop chamber by turning FWD-REV control panel switch to REV.

4. While holding bale ram switch in REV, engage Hoop Rotate button to test hoop rotation speed.

5. Release REV bale ram switch and Hoop Rotate when bale ram reaches fully extended position.

6. Return the bale ram to front of bale wrapper (“Home” position) by turning FWD-REV bale ram
switch to FWD (forward).

.

pg.7-1

.

Auto Mode Test Run

Test machine in Auto mode without bales and without plastic lm rolls installed.

1. Switch control screen to auto mode, refer to

2. Press the bale trigger using a pole inserted between the bale ram and the bale deck.

DANGER: DO NOT attempt to engage the bale trigger by hand.

3. The TL60ECV balewrapper should automatically follow the sequence of the manual wrap mode
without the manual operation of the control screen.

pg.6-1

.

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 lm.

• There should be space for at least 50 bales in a row.

• Select a site that is accessible in winter conditions and does not ood 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.
