Are you meaning silage bales? If so, then yeah we've done it. You just have to make your bales alot smaller.

We've made thousands of silage bales with our Vermeer Super J baler. No problems at all.
I had a look at a new "M" model baler, on a dealer lot. It has two small augers on either side of the extra wide pickup. It looked to me like wet silage material might tend to wrap on these augers. Maybe not. Smile

We wrapped them in rows. Hubby set the baler to make 3x5's, longer than they are high but the wrapper still managed to do a good job. We only used twine on ours.

Any Vermeer baler from the Super I balers on will bale haylage. The most popular bale size to make haylage is a 4'x4' bale. The bales at 60% moisture can weigh 2000+ Lbs so anything any larger is harder to handle.

I think I need to start rolling baleage. This rain cured hay is killing me. I bet I could cut one day and roll the next with that thing.
I need a new bailer.
what does one of those things run.
What do I need to know about feeding baleage?

The Vermeer baler pictured is the Rebel series. I know from helping with Vermeer advertising here locally that the Rebel series is for people that don't have to go over as many acres, and therefore is a moderately priced line of balers.

I wonder how much they will give me on my old JD 510? They may charge me to haul it off. It is just too out dated.
