In an emergency, the bales can be left 12 to 16 hours. The Tubeline wrapper makes timely harvest possible by reducing the dependence on the weather. It is much easier to get to wilt silage than to make dry hay. This also extends the working day, as the correct moisture to bale extends earlier and later in the day.
