One for the wrapper drivers.
Today I wrapped 55 bales in 1 hour, out around a field, not lined up.
Using a 1991 Case 895 and a 1998 Conor wrapper, cable controls!

Valtra 8150 with powershuttle and mc hale 991bjs best ever 85 in rows can average 70 an hour scattered in the field. Went to do a bit of wraping yesterday afternoon started at 3 o clock wraped 85 bales then drove 5 miles down the road stoped at a shop and had an ice cream along the way wraped 150 bales stood talking to the farmer for a few mins gone out the gate at twenty to 7. An average of 65 bales an hour which i thought wasnt bad.

I was drawing bales today that I wrapped yesterday. All went well with about 27 bales left to draw. I had to clear a few things in the yard to make room for more bales, it took about an hour. When I arrived back in the field it was black with crows, they had the bales destroyed with holes :eek: I had to start on the silage tape. There wasn't a crow to be seen before dinner and the bales were intact until they decided to launch their attack around 4.30:mad:

I have baled and wrapped 60 bales in an hour with a Fendt 716 and Fusion 2 baler. Back in the older days when i was just wrapping, John Deere 2650 and conor wrapper. She kicks into auto after 3 turns, so maybe thats kinda cheating. 70 an hour no bother. Only problem was not going too fast and keeping the bales on the table some times.:D

I seem to be following 13spanner around here on the wrapper threads

55-58 bales per hour using a Ford 4600 and a kneverland with an all electric control either scattered or drawn into rows with one of the keltec style bale trailers. I preferred wrapping in the field though, generally faster - that was in the mid 90's

John deere 6610 and new tanco 1400 wrapper did 42 bales in 25 minutes scattered the other day, was able to do 75 bales in 45 minutes with the 991bjs and 6610 scattered....depending on the form:D

All these bales per hour, just proving the contracators are absolutely creaming it.
€9.50. cut baled and wrapped. I pay for wrap. I stack.
Total time contractor spent in my farm was 2.5 hours mowing. 4.5 hours baling and wrapping with McHale combined baler and wrapper. Thats 7 hours for 112 bales at €9.5 per bale = €1008 total for 7 hours work = €144 per hour.

Hardly "creaming it" when you consider the outlay for machines, labour, repairs, diesel and wet weather.

Price around. Im in Westmeath and go cut, bailed & wrapped for €8.50. (i provided wrap & stacked) The contractor even took my nephew to mow and wrap and then put him onto the tractor to bale for a while. Made his day.

Price around.

Fair good going with the Mchale wrapper. Think it is kinda cheating with the Tanco 1400 wrapper though cause you have double wrapper

Sure tis easy talk. Buy a decent baler, mower, wrapper and tractors to drive all 3. Then pay for diesel, parts and wages. Add on the long days. Finally count in the hassle of actually getting the money off people. Not exactly creaming it in my opinion

Well they were bales of haylage with the mchale in a perfectly level field which helps a lot and the hydraulics are very fast and the shuttle and powerquad helps a lot so I had everything going my way in fairness, The tanco takes the hard work out of it..No more bales flying off the wrapper:rolleyes:

Anyone wrap with tanco 1320 eh, that's the one mounted on a loader
