Samco 1600 CTS Bale Transporter

We got the chance to see the new SAMCO CTS bale transporter working. A very impressive piece of irish engineering.

[@tommitchell1826]

damn clever machine especially the way it unloads never stops amazing me what ideas people come up with

[@leoross2088]

endlich mal ein Sammler der die Ballen so aufnimmt wie sie aus der Presse kommen! Top!

[@irishro1]

Been watching this bale handler since it appeared a couple of years ago. The best way to handle rapped bales I've seen. Great piece of Irish designed machienary. 👌🏻. Hope it works out and sells well. Great idea in my opinion. Great vids. 👍

A lad across the road from me is running 3 Wilson monster move 12s and he moves a few thousand wrapped bales a season and they are way faster than this over been out with him they are quicker to unload , load and all round use far more simple and effective on my opinion takes minutes for him to load 12 bales

[@irishro1]

@@jd_agri_photography yeah I agree. They work great too. We have one and a small keltec. Just think that 16 bale mover when it gathers up it can drop and ya have a double stack. Won't work for everyone but neither do the bale moves, some don't like them at all. Just great to see well engineered machinery coming out of Ireland and wanted worldwide.

@@irishro1 yeah I agree

[@tomcarrigan843]

@@jd_agri_photography The Samco can fit 48 bales in the same space in a yard that the 12 pack takes to offload 12. Just something to consider.

Good video Conor & interesting bit of kit!

[@jlagriaerialphotography3665]

Great video

[@davidbrennan3613]

That's a mighty job ,Samco make the best of gear

[@pauldalton8484]

I wonder who developed the hydraulic and electronic control system. It works really smoothly. Love the way the loading arm swings up. 🤗

[@DJC995]

Nice Bit of kit Thanks

[@Panchdeburca]

Great video Conor. Be interesting to see how the Samco sells over the next few years

[@jd_agri_photography]

Great video Conor saw the machine at its early stages on agri land designed by a man in Kilkenny not far from me 👍🏻

[@philipoconnor2236]

Great machine and idea. You'd just wonder about the pressure 8 bales being tipped puts on the tractor hitch. Then again probably similar to a tractor of grass being tipped

[@a.f.jsimcontracting6445]

It's being pulled by the best tractor ever made

[@JDrostAgricultureVideoNL]

Nice video, greetings Johan

[@jascollinscork]

Great system….. seen it a good few years ago on Grassmen’s baling in every county!! A Killkenny man designed it I’m sure!!!! Fantastic idea!!! Would it work for straw and hay though….. then a more worthwhile buy???

[@ConorryanVideos]

Yes check out Samco's Facebook page, they have videos of it on hay and straw.

[@ballinagriphotography7499]

I had Tom and Cathal over drawing hay earlier in the summer, I have a video over on my channel! Feel free to check it out!

[@jasdunlop9907]

Think i will keep working with my keltec 10 bale transporter load and unload in 1/2 the time and a lot less to go wrong .tidy tractor .

[@PA-ek3ul]

Brilliant concept for loading round bales but its alot of trailer for 8 bales and alot of room needed to unload 👍

[@TheEamonKeane]

It carries 16 bales.

[@PA-ek3ul]

@@TheEamonKeane yep my mistake

[@paddycahill5161]

What bothers me is how the bale gets from the loading side to the opposite side of the double bale handler

[@Crottedenez1000]

Exactly my thoughts ! They sadly don’t show how they resolved this challenge… It’s years now since I do make my brain sweat blood to develop a self loading trailer which works for delicate (also unshapely) 1.25m wrap bales, as well as for 1.60m hay and straw bales. Must be quick to unload, pick them up in the direction of the rows, maximum capacity for minimum weight, large tires and, most difficult challenge in my country : not exceed max overall width of 2.55m … 🤔

[@mauricesheehy2460]

I doubt if that will ever catch on.too complicated. Too expensive .it will be interesting..

[@tommurphy6062]

I’d love to know the cost

[@ciaranconroy3738]

Give me like 50000

[@Doyle7810.]

I'm pretty sure I've seen the same type of machine on agriland before

[@ConorryanVideos]

You would have seen the very origional one, Samco now the production of it and have made plenty of changes!

[@jd_agri_photography]

Tom carrigan from Kilkenny designed the original wouldn’t be far from me

[@patrickmurray8304]

I dont like the way the backing bar gets caught under the bales when unloading. it would be easily damaged on concrete
