Hay Wrap                  $3,750 (FOB Avella,PA)
The economical round bale wrapper you have been looking for!
The fast low cost way to weatherproof big bales!

How it works:

The Hay Wrap mounts on your tractor’s 3pt hitch and uses its hydraulics to rotate the bale. To start the wrapping process insert the end of the plastic under the plastic twine at one end of the bale and guide the plastic applicator down the length of the bale as it rotates. 35 seconds later, your hay is wrapped and all of its nutrition is locked in waiting to be feed out. 

The start, stop, speed control, position of the plastic roll and plastic tension adjustment are all controlled by one person wrapping the bale. This can be a one person, and a one tractor operation. If the tractor is big enough to pick up the bale, it is big enough to run the Hay Wrap machine.

As the bale rotates, move the plastic roll from one end of the bale to the other, overlapping to put down two layers of plastic on dry bales and four layers of plastic on balage. The plastic stretches 150% to discourage hay stems from poking through and it will conform perfectly to the shape of the bale to expel air pockets. the plastic is treated to repel rodents.

 

 

Making Balage:

Provide your animals with the best form of forage. The Hay Wrap machine allows you to wrap high moisture round bales resulting in highly nutritious feed for dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, goats, and horses.

Bring the silage bales in with your regular bale mover and place them in a tight row. Spear the bales with the HayWrap machine, apply plastic (4 layers ). Place in the storage row with the HayWrap machine and RAM them very tightly together. This will expel any air and form a super tight seal.

It takes less than 35 seconds to put plastic (4 layers) on the balage. Place the bale on the end of the row and then pullout about 4 feet, put the tractor in reverse and hit the bale as hard as you can. This impact forces the other to seal even tighter, creating an airtight seal!

Here the end bale in a long row of Balage is being sealed. This takes about 5 to 7 minutes per end bale. All the bales between the two end bales are not covered in this manner. They are sealed by ramming each bale, causing the 10 to 12 inches of plastic on the end of each bale to seal air tight!

 

 

Wrapping Dry Hay:

Traditionally dry hay was stored in the barn. Round bales significantly reduced the labor required for haymaking and reduced the capital investment of a storage building. However, outside storage results in dry matter loss and feed value loss. When both are calculated, total feed value loss can easily surpass 50%.  With just 2 layers of plastic, the Hay Wrap machine protects and preserves your hay. Stop wasting perfectly good hay or spending big bucks on storage buildings or expensive tarps that blow off in high winds. Hay Wrap also prevents ground water from entering the bale. HayWrap your bales and your livestock will get at least 25% more feed value from your hay crop.

 

 

Unrolling bales:

When feeding time rolls around, simply remove the film applicator trolley rail and the Hay Wrap machine transforms into a bale unroller. The hay wrap machine allows you to transport the bale from the storage location to the feeding location. The Hay Wrap unrolls the hay  in a line off the three point hitch of the tractor allowing you to line/strip feed or lay down bedding. This makes the Hay Wrap a complete bale handling system from field to feeding. 

 

 

Why would you buy anything else?

 The Hay Wrap machine costs less than half of a total wrap machine and uses less than half of the plastic per bale and does not require special bale handling equipment. Unlike a total wrap and inline bale wrapper the Hay Wrap allows you to wrap high moisture hay (balage) and dry hay plus it allows you to feed out bales to your livestock. The Hay Wrap saves you money and is truly a year round implement. 

 

Consider the difference between what you would pay a contract bale wrapper and the cost per bale of using the Hay Wrap. How soon would the Hay Wrap pay itself off versus using a contract wrapper? A Hay Wrap will let you make hay when it is convenient for you, freeing you from having to work around a contract wrapper’s schedule.
