OISTURE
Refer to the “3M’s of Silage” for information on product moisture
level. Moisture levels play an important part of product quality.
Dry Product
Dry product makes a lumpy bag. Long dry chop is hard on the Ag-
Bagger
® . Remember when trying to make good haylage, dry feeds
have more resistance, they will pack higher in the bag, and less
brake pressure is required.
Wet Product
Moisture levels above 70% may create excessive liquid in the hop-
per. This excessive liquid is “OK” unless the bag is outside the rec-
ommended shape. Slowly release brake pressure until the bag is
within the recommended shape. Let the product wilt longer if liquid
does not dissipate. Wet product does not rise very high in the bag.
The result is a wide bag.
