Baling Silage with McHale Fusion and John Deere 6930 Tractor

Came across this outfit, and farmer generously permitted access, so went in to see this nice Claas Liner 2900 Rake with New Holland TS 115, closely followed by John Deere 6930 with McHale Fusion2 Baler/wrapper. Then I noticed the sun was about to emerge - a large patch of blue sky was stretching across from the sea. A second field was dealt with also, so keep watching! Outfit was that of Richard Lewis, Whitemill, Carmarthen. (Seen also on "Chasing the Deere")

Good vid, those 2 in1 balers seem to be the must have item of 2010!! the days of the lone guy with his tractor and wrapper are over

I suppose there'll always be a need for a baler that doesn't wrap if you want hay and have a barn to store it in. The guys who bought a wrapper must be feeling sick, though!

I really like this video Alan,

I allways wondered how a farmer could afford to wrap all those bales in plastic as it must be a lot of money to buy that wrap. There are better balers than that one but it is doing every thing in one hop.

I guess if you don';t have a barn to put the hay in guess that is the cheap way.

I think this was for silage rather than hay, but a barn is still needed, ideally. The plastic must cost a lot, and you have to pay to dispose of it after, as well (not allowed to burn it, produces black smoke). But barns don't come cheap and bales are more easily taken somewhere and fed to the cattle.

@CORRIFARM is that true about when the Mchale boys were testing the first Fusions, closing roads around Ballinrobe?

To rakerman

Thanks very much for the flattery - though I ought to be improving as I'm getting plenty of practise! I'm certainly enjoying it.

[rakerman]

Your getting better & better by the day 10/10

@CORRIFARM so what would they do rest it in fields surrounded by trees and stuff-so people couldnt see?
