All types and brands of Tama netwrap have a guaranteed minimum length, using European measuring method with stamp of approval. competitor nets, working on a plus or minus tolerance, and not minimum length, based on our continuance benchmarking, are on average 8% less than their declared length.
How many bales can be made from one roll of netwrap?
This depends upon bale diameter and crop type, Tama has recommendations on how many wraps should be applied, which can be found on the sleeve, in the booklet attached to the roll.
Is it better to use a wide Netwrap to achieve a full bale covering?
Most baler chambers are between 117cm and 123cm. Tama’s netwrap is 1.23m wide and designed to cover the bale from edge to edge, in all round balers, often covering a bit more, and is better than most 1.25cm netwraps.
Netwrap Baling Tips
When using Round Bale Netwrap, a few moments must be taken to ensure correct preparation of your machine in order to achieve the best results. The most common problems of net splitting, tearing, or fouling on feed rollers arise from the net ‘laddering’, where threads become broken, leading to a running stitch in the net running opposite to the direction of the net, eventually causing the net to separate where the ‘ladder’ has occurred. This can be caused by many different and varying circumstances but will always have the same ‘ladder’ effect.
Check that the area in which the roll sits is free from dirt and debris. Ensure that all metal surfaces the net comes into contact with are free from rust or sharp edges or weld spots (net box sides, spreader bars and rollers etc.), or dried paint ‘lumps’ on any surfaces which could damage the net. Clean up with emery paper if necessary. Also, check that the path for the net to the bale behind the feed mechanism is not dirty or rusty, which could restrict the net’s passage when feeding – often identified by a ‘lump’ of net at the start of the wrapping cycle. This is especially important when starting baling after winter storage.
Ensure the net is threaded correctly. Incorrect feeding of the net will cause incorrect tension being applied, leading to feeding and cutting difficulties which, in turn, will cause problems on subsequent net feed cycles. Where the net is fed through a series of fixed tension bars, always make sure these are clean and polished to avoid excessive friction. Excessive net friction or an uneven surface will cause the net to tear.
Where two rollers are used to feed the net, it is imperative these are correctly aligned and tensioned against one another, to enable the net to feed in evenly and under the correct tension. Incorrectly aligned rollers will produce a corresponding uneven net feed and subsequent cutting action at the end of the wrapping cycle. This will result in poor bale coverage and possible net fouling on the feed rollers at the start of the next cycle. The rollers’ surface should also be closely inspected for abrasions or damage, which could snag the net when feeding.
Ensure the feed rollers are clean of any moisture or residue. Never use an aggressive cleaning agent such as petrol or turpentine to clean rubber rollers.
Always dust rubber rollers down with French chalk or talc powder when loading a new roll of Netwrap, or use anti-static spray to reduce net static when operating. This avoids the net fouling and wrapping around the rollers when feeding in.
Carefully inspect the condition of the belt joiners on variable chamber balers for damage or worn connections, as this will snag the net and cause a tear, which will split the net on the bale.
Make sure the knife or cutting surface is clean and undamaged. Poor cutting action will result in an uneven ‘tail’ to the net, which can become tangled in the rollers and feed mechanism.
Why Netwrap?
Round baling with Netwrap is the most convenient and least expensive way of wrapping your bale. Wrapping with Netwrap reduces costs by being faster than using twine and offers much better protection to the crop than twine ever could. The main points include:
Less wear and tear on the baler Fewer revolutions of the bale are needed when net wrapping, dramatically reducing wear and tear on the baler.
Greater speed of operation Netwrap needs fewer revolutions, reducing the wrapping time and allowing up to 15-20 more bales per hour.
Better coverage on the bale Net wrapped bales maintain a more uniform shape, making transporting and handling easier, particularly important when wrapping silage bales on an automatic bale wrapper. Bale coverage from edge to edge is also essential when silage wrapping, eliminating air from the bale to ensure better quality forage.
Better weathering capability Net wrapped bales offer much better weathering capability, allowing outdoor storage and reducing loss from crop wastage.
Easier to remove Opening a net wrapped bale is a simple and straight-forward operation. The use of net eliminates the difficult and tiresome task of removing baler twine, especially in frosty conditions, and is also less likely to be picked up by livestock or machinery.

Stretchfilm
My bales have water in them, where does it come from?
Water in bales can be caused by several things, most obviously being poorly shaped or soft bales stacked on their sides in a pyramid, where the bales below are squashed out of shape. Once the bales lose their uniform, round shape, that the film has been pulled tight against, the film layers can come apart allowing water in. The best way to avoid this is to make more dense bales and stack them on end, like tin cans, rather than on their side.
Can I increase my nutrition value in the forage by using more layers of stretch film?
Yes! More layers offer greater protection for the bale from puncturing when dropped onto the crop stubble in the field or during handling. Also, more layers make it much more difficult for air to enter the bale over time, during storage.
Why do I get long tales on the bale after baling?
There are many reasons, the most obvious being the tack level on the film, allowing it to stick to the bale surface when the wrapping is finished. Other reasons may be that the film is not stretched correctly, making it loose on application and unable to ‘grip’ to the previous layer. More commonly, the cutting problem is because the knife is not sharp enough and the film does not immediately separate fully from the roll and the bale eventually pulls it apart when it is dropped off the wrapper, leaving a twisted tail of film that can never attach itself to the bale surface.
Why are silage bales better than pit or clamp silage?
Wrapped silage bales are convenient to handle, store, and transport, making feeding out easier and more efficient. If feeding extremely large cattle herds, in one location, pit or clamp silage can be more suitable, however, the amount of silage exposed to the air, once the pit or clamp is open, means there is more silage at risk of spoilage.
How many bales will a roll of 1,500m film make?
If the film is stretched by 70%, you should expect to obtain at least 22 bales when applying 6 film layers. If only applying 4 film layers, the number of bales possible will be 33. These calculations are based on a 4ft (1.22mt) x 4ft (1.22mt) round bale.
What is the difference between 25-micron and 22-micron thicknesses as far as use by the farmer?
Assuming the ‘mechanical properties’ of the film are good enough, which most top manufacturers are, the main guarantee of good silage concerning the film, is that it seals well, and each application overlaps the last by at least 50%, with the best results coming from the application of at least 6 film layers. The actual difference in thickness of film going onto the bale, after the stretching rollers, is insignificant.

Why Stretchfilm?
Wrapping silage bales in plastic film offers great flexibility in operation, storage and feed quality. It also enables any excess to be transported conveniently, unlike clamp silage.
With effluent control legislation introduced in the mid 90’s, many farmers switched to silage bales as a means to store their valuable winter forage, as an alternative to expensive improvements required to older clamps.

What to look for when buying your baler twine?
Raw Materials
Ensure that the twine has been produced with raw materials from ISO-approved producers.
Poor quality raw materials can lead to poor quality end products.
Easy Feed
With some makes of twine, the spool centre may frequently collapse, causing difficulties when attempting to draw the first few hundred metres from the spool. Choosing a twine with a larger diameter centre, that allows the twine to flow freely from the beginning, will eliminate such problems.
Kinked Twine
A consistent and smooth shape to the twine will eliminate potential ‘hang-ups’ in its path through the baler and the knotter mechanism, reducing costly downtime when baling.
Fibrillation
When buying Big Bale twines, ensure that the twine has high fibrillation.This guarantees a uniform and consistent twist and higher performance through the knotting mechanism. A highly fibrillated twine will give optimum knot strength and also help avoid knot slippage
Twine Baling Tips
Large Square Baling
Very careful attention should be paid to the bale pressure, depending on the type and condition of the crop being baled. During periods of extended dry and hot weather, for instance, straw bales may be noticeably lighter than during normal conditions, with the baler set to the same bale pressure setting.
In these circumstances, a decrease in pressure setting will overcome this; or, alternatively, a move to the next heavier twine is recommended.
For baling good quality large square silage bales, it is important to follow a few simple guidelines:
Ensure the crop has wilted to a minimum of 40 – 50% dry matter (DM), which will produce well-formed bales as well as excellent fermentation.
Ensure the twine box tension is reduced as much as possible, as twine friction experienced between silage bales during baling is much greater than between straw bales.
Eliminate as much air as possible from the crop when baling, as it is essential that sufficient crop is packed into the top of the bale to avoid misshapen bales being formed, which may be difficult for an automatic bale-wrapper to handle properly. A reduction in forward speed will help to achieve this by increasing the number of wads per bale.
What are some considerations when buying baler twine, and how does Tama address them?
When purchasing baler twine, Tama recommends checking the raw materials, ensuring they are from ISO-approved manufacturers. The twine’s design should facilitate easy feeding, prevent kinking, and exhibit high fibrillation for optimal knot strength and to avoid knot slippage.
