Silage 2020 - It's a Wrap
Invest in good quality reliable silage wrap. Don’t be tempted to skimp on the quality of your silage wrap or you are sure to regret it both in the field at baling and later when you need to use it. Here’s our advice on wrapping, baling and putting it away properly for the winter.
Top quality silage making depends on many things. The weather, the reliability of our machinery, good quality additives, top quality wrap, silage net, tape and of course, the weather. We might not be able to control the weather, but we can use the very best products possible when going at the silage. There is nothing more frustrating than plastic that sticks and tears as you try to work with it and it’s fair to say that if you don’t invest wisely during the process, you may well be giving yourself a much bigger bill for fodder in the lean months ahead. In order to provide the ideal ensiling environment, bale wrap needs to offer a number of important elements such as strength, puncture and tear resistance, elasticity, UV stability and the ability to cling in all circumstances. We believe that the products we stock meet that vital criteria
Rhino Film
Sales of this product soared last year, and it is not really surprising. Rhino Wrap, Rhino Nets and Silo Bags have pretty unique properties. Fast becoming Ireland’s best-selling silage wrap, Rhino guarantees maximum reliability during the wrapping process on the stretcher. It can also be used universally with all bale wrappers and for all applications. Rhino film is a six layer silage wrap. Contractors are particularly happy with this product and almost 50,000 rolls of this wrap used in Ireland last year!
Silo Grass
A solid and reliable product with 5 layer technology, all the mechanical aspects of a bale wrap are maximised resulting in a consistently reliable, high quality, high performing film. Silo Grass offers trouble free wrapping and a proven resistance to oxygen ingress. We find Silo Grass a firm favourite with many of our farming and contractor customers, who trust its performance based on seasons of experience. Silo Grass is great value for money and has good elasticity, UV stability and the ability to cling in all circumstances. Silograss is one of the most established silage wraps on the market and is suitable for round bale wrapping and big square bales
ZeussEpicrop Bale Wrap
A popular, strong and steadfast product, ZeussEpicrop has been ‘field tested’ rigorously in the rolling hills and dales around here with good results. Manufactured to preserve, ZeussEpicrop has improved oxygen resistance and mechanical strength and uses five layer technology. With 5 layer technology all the mechanical aspects of a bale wrap are maximised resulting in a consistently reliable, high quality, high performing film.
There is no doubt that the pressure of getting the silage right is a pressing one. Mould, fermentation problems, ripped bales and other problems caused by UV light or rain damage means a cut to yields and an expensive problem when animal feed is badly needed and at a premium rate. Get the wrap right.
So, you can bring the child of Prague statue out for the silage, the baling and the hay making. And when you finally have the good weather guaranteed, make sure you can make sure that the very best products are guaranteed too! This means looking for value for money and a high quality to see you smiling through the winter. Drop in, email or phone us anytime at the Dandys Derrynoose and we can call it a wrap from there!
