THE SCIENCE OF BUILDING A BETTER BALE

Once you’ve prepared and baled your crop, it’s time to calculate costs per acre, profits and storage. If you’ve done everything right, your denser bales have saved you money on net and film wrap, plus lower bale transportation and handling costs. Better yet, denser bales require less room to store, so you reduce waste with fewer bales left out in the elements.

Fewer bales mean less money spent on wrapping. You’ll save more than $1 per bale on net wrap only. Film wrap your bales and you’ll save more than $3 per bale compared to the leading competitor. It pays to bale better.

Penn State University explains why bale density matters when it comes to longer bunk life.

Combine the productivity of a New Holland Roll-Belt™ round baler with an integrated Combi bale wrapper and you can bale and wrap simultaneously for instant quality results. Since there’s no need to make a second pass through the field, you save time, manpower and fuel. Making one trip also reduces ground compaction and plant damage to promote faster regrowth time and increased yield on subsequent harvests.
