Be careful where you place the net wrap after it is removed from the bale. It's easy to just throw it on the fenders or platform of an open-station tractor. The lugs on a rear tractor tire can grab the net that may be wrapped around your shoe. It grabbed and jerked a warning light off my tractor's fender last week. Net wrap looks weak, but it's strong.
