definitely made in Ireland see plenty coming through Holyheadl port which Anglesey North Wales. glad you are keeping the funky farmer videos going they are brilliant👍
Yes indeed Richard, McHale Engineering are in Co Mayo in Ireland. They also do stand-alone balers and wrappers as well as the Fusion machines - serious gear
here in new zealand i saw some baling being done. it wasn't as sophisticated as this. a type of contraption that would lift up the bail then wrap it in the air. loved watching this. very neat.
Colin.noone no Niall is right,I’ve been to kimaine a few times this year with the baler and wrapper,that’s where they fix the machinery,one of my friends work in the assembly in ballinrobe,that’s where the equipment if made
Very lucky to live in an area where there are contractors that can to jobs on the farm for you. Where I live most farms have to own all of their own equipment and do everything themselves because there is not enough farms for a contractor to make a go of it.
Nova Scotia, Canada. Cape Breton Island to be specific. There is farming "hubs" in the mainland of Nova Scotia, but in my area there isn't much left. There is only about 3 dairy farms within 100 miles of here, us being one of them. i think our farming style is a little bit different than how you guys do it over there, feel free to check out my channel some time.
Interesting. A lot of the dairy farms around here have gone too. Most dairy farms are much bigger than ours. We are quite old fashioned so dont take it that we are a typical uk farm in how we do things
Well, your barn is nicer than the old one we had lol. Up until a few years ago we milked in a Stanchion barn with a pipeline milking system. 6 milkers, sat on stools beside the cows. Trench behind them. Then we built our new freestall barn and put in a 6x6 herringbone style parlour. What a difference that has made both on the cows and us. Not having to kneel or bend over milking makes a huge difference. We can milk all the cows in less than an hour, we only milk about 42. It would be nice to get some more quota and some more cows but we have some other issues to sort out first.

that would be quite hard because we tore the plastic on a bale last year and tried to put it back in the wrapper part but we couldn't get it to go in. we had to wrap it by hand
If you think the mc hale is good take a look at the krone ultima! it dose not need to stop to unload the bale from the main chamber as it has a pre pres chamber witch is filled when the main chamber door is open. it is a continuouse round blae wrapper
No combination baler can compare to a fusion due to many factors. One winner for any irish/English operator is the difference in dimensions, all other balers are way bigger than fusion which isn't ideal! Continous baling isn't a big issue, a fusion can push out between 600-800 bales a day depending on a few factors.
What we do with the unwrapped bales (because every now and the there is always a glitch in the computer and one ends up unwrapped) is just squeeze them from the side with the bale grab and put it back on the wrapping table
Richard, do you bale any grass hay Unwrapped)? Large squares or small squares. We started of doing small squares then finally switched to round bales. That baler is an awesome piece of machinery. Bale & wrap in the one unit.

I must be a pessimist at heart because the first thing I thought was if that piece of equipment broke down it would cost a pretty penny to fix and I imagine that they would set a farmer back quite a few quid to buy one of those machines outright if they wished to purchase one .
Philip Walsh I was responding to the original comment, talking that as a contractor their biggest competitive edge is the machinery and a fusion baler is just one of those edges!
