AgriLand: Seamus Duggan from Co. Laois explains his approach to baling and wrapping

Seamus Duggan from Durrow, Co. Laois, explains why he opted for a separate baler and 'in-line' wrapper (rather than a 'combi' machine).

Fusion is great for contracting but on a farm I’d rather have a wrapper handy. Just in case there’s a bale or two to wrap for whatever reason

[@denisreidy8106]

a hell of a long machine, fusion is more compact and with correct tyres you will manage wet years too

[@sandman8993]

The length is honestly not a problem. I run a similar outfit.

[@patrick0connell772]

Used film on film this year the silage is unreal totally different to ones with net

[@Bambinohead1]

How is it working out pricewise? Much dearer per bale compared to net?

[@ciaran7814]

he bought a fusion split in half

[@willykirk792]

I bought this exact same setup last year works well on the flats bit slower on the hills but still a good quick way of doing it

[@nevanphelan594]

How would you reverse on the road if you met a car

[@elainebyrne89]

The car would reverse

[@sandman8993]

It’s not an issue as you back the baler as you would normally but steer the wrapper using its movable drawbar

[@Ocagri18]

Get a fusion 2 or 3

Proud of your presentation Seamus well presented and looks like a fabelous set up I have used a lot of automation here In Australia advancing all the time , maintenance and up grades are the key to success with tat type of gear Good luck with your Baling From Mick Phelan [ Spider ] In Oz

Hi Mick things have come a long way from the days of the old 8045 crystal from Eamonn Leonard in Perth

[@AgricultureINDIA-91]

Amazing machine 👍 👍 👍

[@irishfarms7124]

Good job especially when you cant afford a fusion!

[@TomScanlon-wz2fn]

Love that setup

[@davidhintz1]

Noel Fitzpatrick the Supervet is from your County!

[@patrick0connell772]

1euro more but on dry silage the difference is plain to see now no mould at all on bales ones I did with net small bits on them

[@johnnylyne8256]

Patrick Oconnell any trouble for the baler takeing in the plastic or any problems atal with the plastic
