I haven't got any hay so no need to tarp but if I did I would no what to do after a well explained video .its a wise man that learns by his mistakes but a wiser man that learns by someone else's 😀👍
Great advice. Inland makes a great product. We have several of their tarps for large square bales and I have plans to add some for rounds as well. The tie down system is as easy as anything I've seen used. They are made about a hundred miles from here so they have a large influence in this area.
That size tarp would probably be about right if you made 5' diameter bales... That extra foot in diameter also doubles the bale weight 😎 Personally, I would still split the top row. If you pull the sides in first, then the top down like wrapping a package. Haven't tarped anything in years, but did tarp 4×5 rounds for a long time... Best thing is a real roof!! A roof will pay for itself... Especially by the time you figure tarp, labor and any loss... A mouse, bird, or any other critters can make a hole, the you lose a few bales... Tarps are good for temporary...
Hey, it's your first time.. cut yourself some slack! Ha ha. Looks like a nice system bud! I thought about getting one a while back, lots of people use them around here. Best of luck with the tractor situation!
Do you think it’s safe for round bales to be completely tarped from top down and all sides (nothing exposed)? We have 22 4×5 round bales sitting outside on pallets that have been completely covered with tarp and have been anchored down with J hooks into the ground. They seemed completely dry and the hay farmer said they were baled at 10% moisture. Under the pallets is the ground (grass) and we live in northern Wisconsin so I’m not quite sure if they’ll mold or even worse - catch fire. This is what the previous owner told us to do but I see so much conflicting information online (some sites say to completely cover too) about storing hay so I’m not quite sure who/what to follow. Thank you!!

I appreciate the kind words!

Glad to hear they hold up well!
Would you use this method to tarp horse hay in canadian winters?
Nice looking tarp. I’m going to check them out. Have a good week
They seem like a good quality, and are easy to tie down. Hope things are going well for you!

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin I agree- this size tarp would be good for 5' bales.
Good information, thanks! I'll probably have a bunch of round bales to sell next year, was thinking about going with a tarp on them.
This seems like a good system. Thanks for watching!
Even though your hay didn't work out so well, your videos look great! :D keep up the great work!
Thanks Jackie!!
I use the inland tarps, typically buy 4 at a time, great tarps but hate our new mexico sun and wind.
I bought a cheap harbor freight tarp and it lasted a month, lol. These tarps are awesome!
I'm glad you shared that info- I won't ever buy one then lol Thanks for watching!
Glad we aren't the only ones that's screw things up. haha Nice looking tarp for sure. Take care
You definitely aren't the only ones who mess things up! LOL
Billboard Vinyl for my round bales.

At least I know what to do for next time. Thanks!!

Im same as you always get a bit bigger than you think you need nothing worse than being short a little bit
Good topic I tarp all my hay, I do it quite a bit different than you but good to see a good explanation thanks
Thank you, very informative.
What’s a tarp like that cost sir
It was quite a while ago when I got it, but I think it was around $350 plus shipping.
Well next time you'll have it figured out. That's kinda the way I am. Screw up first then know better next time.
The story of my life 🤣
