With the premiere of Bale-Lok, a polyethy lene knitted mesh wrap for round bales, Exxon Chemical Company introduces one of the most effi cient products in haying and forag ing. “With Bale-Lok, one net wrap baler does the work of two twine balers,” said Roy Sauder, a Bridgeport, Neb., custom opera tor. Sauder wrapped 8,000 bales last season as part of Exxon’s test ing program. “Where conventional baling twine can require 15 to 17 turns of the bale, the full-width coverage of Bale-Lok reduces wrapping time to about two turns,” said James Flick, company spokesman. “With Bale-Lok, Exxon’s engi neers have developed a baling pro duct that’s lighter, easier to install and ultimately more cost-effective than conventional bale wrap pro ducts.” Bale-Lok’s unique design can also increase hay and forage quali Durlng haying season, timing can be critical. Two turns of Bale-Lok® net wrap from Exxon can provide more protection and tighter wrap than 15-17 turns with conventional twine Increasing hay production by up to 25 percent per baler on the average day. Ford Spreaders Fight Corrosion NEW HOLLAND (Lancaster Co.) Six new box-type spread ers from Ford New Holland fea ture high-density polyethylene floor planking and corrosion resistant steel sides. The new floors are the strongest on the market when measured against shock damage and acid resistance, according to Ford New Holland product manager for spreaders, John Oehler. Oehler said that the high density polyethylene does not rot, warp, chip, crack or splinter. The slick surface cleans out more easi ly and resists apron slat freeze down in cold weather. “Like our customers, we’re Six new box-type spreaders from Ford New Holland feature high-density polyethylene floor planks. The new floors are the strongest on the market against shock damage and acid resistance. The material will not rot, warp, chip, crack, or splinter. ASAE capacity of the six models ranges from 108 to 410 bushels. ty. “Bale-Lok® net wrap makes a rounder, tighter bale that sheds water better than twine-wrapped bales,” said Mel Siemens, a King man, Kan., custom baler. “There is less spoilage than with twine a difference you can see.” Because Bale-Lok tightly and smoothly covers the full width of the bale, there are no grooves to collect water and snow. “Many people don’t realize that just six inches of the bale’s surface depth make up a full one-third of the vol ume,” Flick explained. “That could represent a potential loss of more than 500 pounds in a large bale.” Bale-Lok coverage also protects against leafless. According to Sie mens, he is able to bale longer in drier conditions using net wrap. And Sauder said, “There is no leaf loss during wrapping. I don’t have piles of leaves by each bale with the Bale-Lok.” Time savings are also realized concerned about the environ ment,” Oehler said. “That’s one reason we’re pleased to switch to the high-density polyethylene spreader floor material. In addi tion to being superior to wood, it’s a step ahead for the environment because the high-density floor planks are made of recycled plas tic milk jugs and other drink con tainers. That means there’ll be fewer plastic containers going to landfills. “We’ve strengthened the spreader boxes by adding steel cross members,” he said. “Users in the upper Midwest and Canada especially will appreciate the new box side-sheet design. The ribs have been removed; with the new at feeding time, when Bale-Lok can be easily removed, even in frozen conditions. “I don’t even have to use a knife,” said Sauder. “Even in winter, I just stand the bales on end and pull the netting right off. “The net wrap is actually cheap er to use than twine, too,” Sauder said. “Studies I’ve seen say the average loss of quality with twine is as high as 25 percent With the Bale-Lok, I had little, if any, spoil age or loss. Figure in your time savings and the reduction in wear and tear on equipment and you’re way ahead with the Bale-Lok.” Bale-Lok® net wrap is specially UV treated for optimal strength and durability. It is available in in dividually wrapped rolls for use with all models of round balers with netting attachments. For more information, contact Exxon Chemical Company, P.O.

The 287-bushel Model 18S and the 410-bushel “195” feature oscillat ing, walking-beam tandem axles to ease heavy loads through ditch es and over rough fields. The A frame hitch on the 10-ton Model 195 has been extended to allow tighter turns with large dual-wheel tractors. Optional equipment for the new spreader series includes hydraulic endgates, slurry side extensions, and fine manure pans.
