  5. Recommended Wraps

    Bales stored with fewer than two layers of the net wrap can be damaged by handling or weather conditions.

    Different crops require a different number of wraps for effective baling.

    Minimum recommendations are:

    • 2 Wraps for Hay
    • 3 Wraps for Straw, Wheat Hay, and Cereal Grains
    • 4 Wraps for Corn Stalks, Sudex, Hay Grazer, and Milo Stalks
    • An additional wrap of net when the crop is precut.

    If machine rpm is less than rated PTO speed, use the following chart as a guideline for desired wraps.
