| SILAGE BALING
■ Firm, well shaped bales of uniform size are easiest to wrap and store.
Due to the nature of high moisture hay, the baler must be designed for
the task. Although most conventional round balers will make silage
bales, premature structural failure, plugging, and inconsistent bale
density should be expected after a relatively short time. Optimum bale size is 4’x4'. Larger bales
can be wrapped, but due to the extra weight, have a tendency to sag which increases the risk of
splitting plastic film. Larger bales also require heavier equipment to handle bales when ready to
feed. Both "hard center” and “soft center” balers will work, but the “rope” in the middle of “hard
center bales, encourages mold and can result in wasted feed.
Special features on DEUTZ-FAHR round balers are why they are able to produce consistent bales year after year of use.

TANCO... The Wrapper That Wraps Bales Other’s Won’t
t *
I Tanco Bale Wrapper
A properly prepared 4’x4' silage bale can weigh from 1400# - 1600#. Due
to weight and pressure required to exclude as much air as possible, the bale
chamber must be designed with extra strength. A heavy duty drive system,
consistent density control, and reliable pick-up mechanism are also required.
Balers equipped with a built in cutting mechanism are able to increase bale
density by up to 20%, and prechopped material can be easily fed.
Be sure to use untreated sisal, plastic or nylon twine if you intend to wrap
high moisture bales. Treated Sisal twine produces a chemical reaction that will
burn through plastic film.

distance required to obtain optimum
coverage.
9. Durability: Tanco’s subframe is one of the
heaviest of any machines available in North
America. The low profile design keeps silage
bales closer to the ground with a low center
of gravity for stability. Tanco’s features are
the result of years of experience and input
from hundreds of individual, and commercial
users.
10. Price: From a basic 3 point Model AW2SO,
to the trailed Model AWSSO with automatic
cut & start, bale and batch counter, and
tractor seat controls, Tanco prices are very
competitive. Pay Isfift for more features and
durability than any other bale wrapper on the
market. ’
