Balenet, because of its ease and speed of application has become a popular alternative to twine for big round baling applications. Farmers requirement for full coverage of the bale makes Donaghys balenet the ideal solution. Balenet increases your baler's efficiency by optimising baling speed, saving you time and money with greater fuel efficiency and less wear and tear on your equipment. The manufacturers recommended application is 2 - 2.5 wraps per bale.

FULL PROTECTION

• Using EdgeSpan®, the bale of hay or silage, is perfectly contained until stored.
• The absence of shoulders at the edge of the bale enables a trouble free silage wrapping operation.
• Working with EdgeSpan® ensures trouble free baling, eliminating any down time from net failure.

ROOF EFFECT

• EdgeSpan® enhances bale protection by helping to shed water from the bale along the chains of the net and off the bale. In this way, the crop remains dry and protected.

CONSISTENT WINDING

• EdgeSpan® has a constant roll diameter and flat ends to maximise baler performance.
• This ensures that the maximum roll width is maintained and rolls unwind evenly reducing the risk of damage to the net from the baler.

TIME REDUCTION

• EdgeSpan® has a unique blue and green selvedge indicator that guides the baler operator to correctly insert the roll every time.
• Working with EdgeSpan® is simpler, faster and provides for better quality wrapping with less baler stoppages; saving you time and money.

We have been listening!
As part of Donaghys long term commitment to supplying superior baler products, we regularly survey contractors, to ascertain what features would be most advantageous in a new synthetic twine. The most predominant response has been for a twine that is easier on machinery. The twine should also possess an exceptional knot strength and be available in extra long balls to achieve less downtime. A big ask, but the ice blue colour of EzyRun 440 proves this is not necessary. Laboratory tests show up to 50% less wear on machinery than harsher twines. Reduction in wear is gained without sacrificing knot strength which allows EzyRun 440 to meet new levels of field performance.

• Knot Strength - 209kg Av
• Fibre Type - Polypropylene
• Colour - Ice Blue
• Length per Bale - 2440m
• Length per Spool - 1220m
