The bales are complete at this stage, but they may also be [[Wrapping Machines|wrapped]] in plastic sheeting by a bale wrapper, either to keep hay dry when stored outside or convert damp grass into [[silage]]. Variable-chamber balers typically produce bales from 48in diameter and up to 60in width. The bales can weigh anywhere from 2200kg, depending upon size, material, and [[moisture content]].</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-lineno" id="mw-diff-left-l57">Line 57:</td> <td colspan="2" class="diff-lineno">Line 57:</td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br/></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br/></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>==Rectangular bale handling and transport==</div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>==Rectangular bale handling and transport==</div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="−"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #ffe49c; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>[[File:Ronsenac Mur de balles <del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">2013</del>.jpg|thumb|center<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">|upright=2</del>|Large rectangular bales in a field Charente, France]]</div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>[[File:Ronsenac Mur de balles.jpg|thumb|center|Large rectangular bales in a field Charente, France]]</div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>Rectangular bales are easier to transport than round bales, since there is little risk of the bale rolling off the back of a flatbed trailer.
