Moving rolls of crop baling material from yard to field is something every farmer does. Whether it’s a couple of rolls in the back of the pickup or a full days worth rolls on linkage mounted carrier heading to a job, we all know rolls get bounced around, scuffed, and knocked about on the way.
With Net Replacement Film (NRF), that journey can be a real problem. Unlike netwrap or our own EZ Web, NRF is more fragile and can be easily damaged especially on its edges before it even reaches the baler.
Fragile by design: NRF film is thin and more prone to scuffing or puncturing if rolls are left loose in the back of a truck.
Costly mistakes: Even a small tear can ruin a roll, leading to wasted product and lost time in the field.
Extra handling needed: To keep NRF rolls intact, they often need to be transported more carefully (strapped, boxed, or cushioned) which isn’t always practical when time is short.
Traditional netwrap and Tama’s EZ Web are both more forgiving during transport. They’re robust enough to handle the usual bumps and knocks of farm life, meaning you can carry a roll in the truck and get on with the job without worrying about it failing before you even start baling.
With EZ Web, you also get the added advantages of:
Easier removal from the bale at feeding.
Simpler recycling, since it can go together with stretchfilm; no separation required.
Consistent performance across crops and conditions.
Moving rolls from yard to field should be the easy part of the job. But with NRF, it’s another point of weakness. Rolls need careful handling, extra protection, and more attention, otherwise, you risk wasting film before it’s even on a bale.
For farmers who want a solution that’s robust, reliable, and designed for real world use, EZ Web is the professional’s choice.
