The BaleSkiis® Baler Liner was developed to eliminate the problems associated with all sizes of square balers. It is the only significant improvement in the elimination of square baler problems since the square baler has been put into wide-spread use. While eliminating the problems of the baler, it also improves the function and cost effectiveness of the power source that runs the baler (tractor or engine). It improves the efficiency and use of the bale retrieving, transporting, and stacking equipment, by making a more uniform and compact bale. This reduces costs by avoiding more expensive baler machinery. Because of the BaleSkiis® design it does so with no moving parts and, in fact, reduces wear on the baler and power source.
BaleSkiis® was tested by the Alberta Farm Machinery Research Centre in Lethbridge, Alberta under PAMI and their guidelines. The results showed that there is a bonus of 30% more leaf retention when using the BaleSkiis® Baler Liner. Leaves containing more nutrition and protein are a BIG plus. With more of them retained, the more valuable the hay is with added protein and pounds per acre.
