This BW5500 inline bale wrapper from Vermeer is designed to give large-volume hay operators and custom operators fast wrapping times and more operational control. The three plastic film pre-stretchers on the BW5500 help increase wrapping speed over machines with only two pre-stretchers. A digital controller allows the operator to apply a consistent number of wraps on bales with automation that consistently adjusts the wrap settings for environmental variations.
