Some useful tips by our farmers

Netwrap

Technical information

Best way to prevent damage and improve rotation

When a bale stays trapped in the chamber instead of being ejected, it can harm new bales at the beginning of the season by causing damage to the net via the rollers. Also, rusty or paint-covered surfaces on the new sides can prevent the bale from rotating smoothly for the initial few bales. We recommend disengaging the PTO (Power Take-Off) before ejecting the bale until the side walls have been polished or smoothened. That way you can roll on smoothly into a trouble-free season!

Dealing with twine snags

When you’re linking the spools in a twine box, it takes a lot of time. So, it’s better to do it correctly to prevent issues! Connecting the spools creates a flatter knot that can smoothly go through the twine guides and tensioners.

Technical information

Twine is twisted into a knot

When pulling twine from the spool, make sure to pull it from only one end—the right end! You can tell it’s the right end if it unwinds in a counter-clockwise direction from the inside surface. If you pull from the wrong end, you’ll end up with a big knot in the twine, causing problems in the knotter very quickly!
