  • Page 21: Operation Of Silatube

    OPERATION (cont'd) 1) Locate the rear end of the SilaTube approximately 5' (152 cm) away from the point where you want to position the end of the tube. This will compensate if there is some slippage of the first couple of bales until there is enough ground friction to push the SilaTube forward.
