Silage has started and the crops are looking well. The Lely has gone, replaced by a Mchale 5600. We also look at how TamaCycle Edge to edge netwrap copes with the dense bales.
I've used Farmhand, Massey, Vicon, New Holland and Welger over the years and found that the Welger roller balers were fantastic in silage. I didn't get round to trying out the Mchale before I retired from farming and contracting but they certainly are well made and popular machines.
Nice one. I used to use a Claas string round baler, and to get a square cornered bale, it required driving weaving left and right over the swath to avoid a barrel shaped bale.
Top tip George, when round bailing and your running low on net, on the last bale if you catch it right you shut down the pto and tie the old roll to the new. Makes life easier!
Hello George loving the new baler and the anvil issue was in straw last year she packs them well keep up the good work look forward to the next video 👍👍
We have a dairy farm in Queensland Australia and have a McHale F5500 baler we’ve had it just about a year now we got it with our new Deutz Fahr 5125G tractor and I’ll tell ya the Deutz and McHale make a great couple for baling with the rapid steer and stop/go on the tractor makes baling a lot better and smoother we bale a lot of roughage hay and stew not so much grass and she goes well
Smashing looking outfit you have there George, my cousin is a farming contractor and has been using a McHale round baler for a few years now and has been very pleased with it. I’m amazed how quick the door opens and closes on your model. Excellent video. ✊👍🚜
Well wear with your new purchase. Hope she runs well for ye. Only the fusions are built here in Ireland. The other standard balers are designed here which is the important bit, but built abroad. You do and use what suits you. Keep up the videos. Enjoying your channel. 👍👍
Nice one sir... the only thing i would want to try and change is the bloody buzzer.. but like an arcade with a bin lorry backing up outside 😮😅.. but they seem like cracking balers .. but thing we will stick with our two newhollands less cost in them 😉. Thought a fusion might of fitting the bill more for you ... stay safe 🏴
Be interesting to see someone run one of the continuous flow Vermeer bailers for a couple of years to see how they hold up and work in heavy materials.
Bloody awesome old boy, we’re back to bailing and a nice bit new bit of kit, my personal favourite thing to watch. We only need now is the yellow girl back on the fields and I’m set haha 😊😂 ❤ ya matey. Cheers Jase from Australia
I remember back in 2008 we got a brand new mchale f550, thought it was brilliant, I’d like to try what your running, a tidy set up all round to be honest. Stay safe during silly season
Great machine George, got the same baler early this may, been a lovley baler, the lely rp245 was getting a bit tired and had a few issues with netting, but the mchale is a great baler so far, perfect match with most of our tractors, it's normally on a 2017 maxxum 140.
Great vid George I can’t believe it’s my 25th year Anniversary as a Agricultural employee and loved every second. McHale sturdy had Demo few years ago but as long as Claas around and they keep making new stuff it’s just ease of use when you do 2400 acres a season
Hi George best wishes hope you are enjoying the weather, love the T7.210 she is a new Holland beauty two questions which gearbox does she be spec on and the McHale 560 bailer is it running on 540rpm shaft have a great weekend ta ta cheers Declan 👍
Enjoyed your presentation. I have a 5400 bought new a couple of years ago. It has a simpler control box with only 3 buttons and no fully auto mode. What is your reason for getting a roller (fixed chamber) machine? Most people go for a belt model. Like you I thought they were made in Ireland but they are made on the continent in somewhere like Hungary.
Learned a new term today, courtesy of you tube. Apparently the UK calls illegal dumping, an act called "fly tipping". Not likely to catch on here, we still label this behavior, " illegal dumping ".🇬🇧
Great vid as always, george I have recently changed from Massey to a nh t7225 auto command I love 😮the tractor. I can see your a tall bloke so presume you have the seat quite far back which is where I’d like it however if I have the seat to far back it constantly rubs and squeaks rubber on rubber i think on the interior on the right under armrest. Just wondering if you have same issues and if you do how to solve it apart from a rock hard seat🚜👍
A really nice baler, but you wouldn't consider a baler with variable chamber, to make bigger bales? The technology seems to have come so far that they are also able to make decent grass bales, not like the old ones :)
I was going to ask if you weren't happy with the compression of the bales, can you adjust them yourself easily (electronic tensioners) or is that an adjustment to the belt tension the service tech has to make? will look forward to the more indepth vid later. thanks George.
Hi William, you get more compression from putting more material into the bale. You set the bale density on the computer from 1 to 10 and this then tells you when to stop 👍
Nice setup George! Why is it you are driving at 10kph? Isnt that really fast?Here we do about 3-4 (we use a 7m windrower so that makes a difference) anyways nice vid!
Bad move should have stuck with lely or now in mf livery .had 2 McHale's first 1 good baler 2nd pile or shite it was like trailing a bag of spanners behind and bales all different sizes as it hasn't got latches on the back door
