Flakes of hay - variation?

[Phred]

If you buy alot you may be able to stop by and take a look at the field and maybe pick out the bales you want.

The folks I sell to sometimes stop by and take a look.
After all if the hay is full of weeds or has other problems it is a lot harder to tell when its all baled up than when its still growing in the field.

Running out of twine??

That's pretty hard with a rounder. I run 4 20K balls in the twine box. That's enough for about 60 rounds. Besides, at leas a couple of times a day, you do have to get off the tractor and answer the call of nature....a great time to check the twine box too.

Daryl,

Your right if you pay a liitle attention its no big deal.

And even if it does run out you can stop, feed in a new ball, start it back up and tie off the bale inside the chamber. This kind of makes the point though that round baling is alot easier than square.

The only pain in the %^& I have found is when the baler moves from one twine ball to another and hangs up and will not feed correctly. It always the first ~20 feet of the ball that causes the problem. Also more of a problem with natural than nylon. Anyone have a preference of twine brand to minimize this problem?
