Single wrappers:
Advantage:
1) You can usually use a smaller tractor to wrap with.
2) They cost less than a inline wrapper.
3) You have less risk on spoilage as it would only effect one bale not a whole row.
4) Better feed quality as they usually are it is easier to get a single bale to have a good seal.

Dis-advantages:
1) They are much slower to use than a inline wrapper.

2) They will use about 30-40% more plastic than a inline wrapper.

3) Single wrapped bales need to be handle with a grabber over a bale spear. So you have some additional cost there.

4) Single wrapped bales require more room to store than inline wrapped bales. You usually leave a few inches between bales. If you try to stack them tight you can easily tear the wrap on one of the bales.

These are just some of the high lights off the top of my head. I would not buy one for myself. I have access to two different dealers that rent them. Also there are three different fellows that do custom wrapping around me, two inline and one single.. I can easily hire it done for less then it would cost me to ever own one.

IF you have issue on getting them wrapped in your area then buy one if it fits your budget. The cost can easily be gained back in a wet year. You can just get hay made faster if you can wrap it.
