Keep getting bales not wrapped about 12" from the end. Always just one end, but sometimes left and sometimes right. About 1 outta 10. Here is what is happening. But what is causing it. Fwiw I've tried roll of both different size and brand  |

Somebody else may have more experience but it sounds like you’ve got a burr or something on a roller that is catching the net. It doesn’t take much of a rough spot to screw it up. It will make a preacher cuss when you’re trying to figure it out.

I can't see the picture because of the filters here at work, but if it's what I think you're talking about my baler will do the same as the net knife dulls down or gets a burr on it. As the knife pinches the net up against the anvil at the end of the wrap cycle, it doesn't cut cleanly all the way across and you get a "tail" so to speak that will snap back and not be held in the knife/anvil pinch area. As the next cycle starts, that tail can find a roller or somewhere else to deposit itself and leave a band of exposed hay on the bale. If I decrease my preload tension on the netwrap, the condition lessens or goes away.

FWIW, I have a lot less trouble with snap backs using JD net wrap than I do with Vermeer. The Vermeer wrap is a lot stronger and takes more effort to cut it. I ended up with a couple free demo rolls of the JD wrap to try, but am sticking with the Vermeer wrap personally.
