ROUND BALE SILAGE!
1. High quality forage.
2. Harvest when crop is ready.
3. Reduces reliance on drying
time.
4. Lower field losses.
5. Different grades of hay can be
kept separate.
6. Low capital investment
compared to conventional

1. Five (5) points of support on turntable: Four
heavy duty rollers add stability and support
to the perimeter of the turntable in addition
to the main central shaft. This allows Tanco
wrappers to safely wrap the heaviest silage
bales on rough or uneven ground.
2. Single solid belt on turntable: The single
belt enables Tanco wrappers to effectively
wrap misshapen or soggy bales providing a
positive surface for bale rotation.
3. Adjustable extendable axle: On trailed
models the extendable axle provides a wide,
stable wheel base when loading bales.
Eliminates the need for counterweights.
4. Top rollers on turntable: Extra rollers
I 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
U 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.

provide security to keep bales in place when
wrapping at high RPM’s (25) or on uneven
terrain.
5. Unloading ramp on trailed models: The
ramp allows bales to be unloaded gently.
When a wrapped bale falls hard it can
“bufp”. Once it “burps” the bale does not re
seal. The ramp gives a smooth transition
between the ground and turntable.
6. Optional “High Rise” axle kit for soft
ground conditions.
7. Models available to fit every individual
need, including machines to wrap big square
bales. Tanco was first to build a large square
bale wrapper, & continues to produce
advancements in bale wrapping technology.
8. Positive bale positioning: While being

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 fijm.

distance required to obtain optimum

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 Isss for more features and
durability than any other bale wrapper on the
market.

produce consistent results. Smaller
diameter rollers reduce wedging and leaf
loss is kept to a minimum. Splined shafts
are used on all drive rollers for maximum
efficient power transfer.
