McHale 998 Square Bale Wrapper

[andersley72]

I have used this before with good results, but having started a new game on FS17 (West Coast map), this bale wrapper works ok but the bales never turn into Silage, no matter how long I leave them. Last time I used this mod the bales turned into silage immediately!

I think I downloaded the previous one from the FS17 UK site, which has now closed down.
Any solutions anyone?

Have you looked on the official mod page? Maybe one of these will be what you are looking for.

Thank you for the reply, but this is exactly the one I have (V1.0.0). I purchased one at the shop, wrapped a few test bales then sold it again for the same price ;)

I will monitor these bales to see if they become silage. But if it is the same I suspect not.

The wrapper is slightly different in looks and operation from the original I used (the wrapper arms rest in a different position, etc. So I suspect there must be another version of this McHale 998. The bales on this one are quite crisply square, whereas the one I used before had more angled edges. Searches of other versions of this mod have proved elusive.

Several of the grass fields are way too steep for round bales, so this was very useful

Found it! It is on FS17.com site and the graphic shows it as FSmods.at. Done a test and the bales are instantly silage when wrapped :) Loading of bales is much easier and bales are less crisp on edges. Now I don't need the much slower round baler :)
