Bale Wrapper
Wraps compatible grass bales so they ferment into silage.
What it is used for
Wraps compatible grass bales so they ferment into silage.
How to operate it
Feed compatible grass bales into the wrapper and allow the wrapping cycle to complete before moving the bale.
Selection and setup
Check the in-game shop for power requirement, working width, capacity, supported fill types, hitch/header compatibility and optional configurations before purchase or leasing.
Operating procedure
Before starting, confirm the machine is compatible with the crop/material and that the power unit meets the shop requirement. Attach or enter the machine, unfold/prepare it, position at the start of the work area, lower/activate the working components where applicable, then work consistent passes at the machine’s rated working speed. Monitor fill level, material type and missed strips. Stop/lift the working parts before tight headland turns, reposition, then resume.
Before you buy or lease
Check working width, working speed, power requirement, capacity, supported fill/crop types, hitch/header compatibility, wheel/tyre options and whether the tool combines another field operation. Lease highly specialised equipment when it will only be used for a small acreage.
Compatibility & attachments
This shows what the equipment connects to, which attachment families work with it, and what each combination is used for. For a specific model, the in-game shop Combinations panel is the final compatibility check.
| Compatible connection / attachment | Used for | Important notes |

| Compatible round/square bales | Wrap grass bales to create silage bales. | Wrapper supports only specified bale shapes/sizes; check shop icons. |
Procedure
- Use fresh grass bales of a size/type supported by the wrapper when your aim is silage.
- Position the wrapper so it can pick up or receive the bale cleanly.
- Start the wrapping cycle and allow it to finish before moving the wrapped bale away.
- Continue until all intended grass bales are wrapped.
- Leave wrapped bales to ferment; once fermentation is complete they become silage.

Practical tips
- Only compatible bale shapes/sizes can be wrapped by each wrapper.
