I'm looking to get into doing more or mainly baleage for our 60 cow dairy. My chopping equipment is getting wore out and replacing/updating the line looks just silly expensive. I have hired someone in the past who baled and individual wrapped for 16$ a bale. I wouldn't hire him to wrap again basically because the bales only ended up with 2 layers of plastic and from what I've read they really should get 8. He ran a New Holland with the crop cutter and the bales fed nice through my vertical mixer. I plan on making around 500 bales a year. I do have a Vermeer round baler I have to trade towards a baler with a crop cutter. I almost traded it last winter on a New Holland 7070 until a friend talked me out seeing as he had a 7060 and offered to do my bales as a custom job. And by spring sold his baler, nice...
My big questions are is it worth my effort to trade my Vermeer 664 Rancher in on a baler with the crop cutter, and which balers are good silage balers? I need the cutter for my tmr mixer.
The other question is how expensive is the wrap for line wrapping on a per bale and if I have the baler should I buy a wrapper as well?
Any and all thoughts will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
