That particular grab would be more suited to loading a mixer wagon with the over head plastic holding system

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Nice bit of kit 👌🙌… Clamp silage would solve the 1000 bales issue 😊

[@theirishfarmer]

Takes the work out of bales 😎 yes definitely have to look into pit silage 💪🏻

[@ciaranconeely8579]

Comment for the algorithm to help the channel 👍 👍👍.

[@PhluterGoode]

Looking forward to seeing it in operation over the winter

[@danielpotts5104]

Brilliant piece of kit

[@cdemo1186]

Well ware Tom,best of luck with it. Good solid looking piece of kit. 👍

[@pjdoyle5105]

Nice bit of kit. Will definitely save time as you get more used to it. Best of luck with it

[@Dermot501]

All the best with the new equipment,it should save you time feeding over the winter 🚜👍

[@gerryoconnor8751]

The very best of luck with the new machine Tom, more progress 😀

[@philipjmcloughlin2299]

Very handy machine Tom best of luck with it 👍

[@philiptyndall4968]

[@garymadden2656]

Some piece of kit Tom 👌

[@ciaranomalley9274]

Well wear Tom .. tis a savage looking machine ! 👍

[@78mikehayes]

Grand bit of plant, well wear

[@user-pe4sx7ey3m]

Looks very solid I have to say .

[@pierceol966]

Best of luck with the new bale splitter Tom,should speed up the feeding out of the bales for sure

[@markredmond987]

I was thinking of buying one but saw KZbin video of 5 foot shear grab which I have and it does the same job once bales have no net wrap. I do all pit bar 150 to 2oo bales.works great cause I don't have to change implements.

[@PVAglue-fi4kc]

You should have tried the sonarol combi out on demo. That loader is well able for that cutter, it's the hydraulic pump that may not be. Bigger rams on the loader will sort it not turning back.

[@leandalynch975]

what great grab save alot time work hassle,

[@daireharlin181]

I have the sonarol combi clamp, it has a removable bucket and will do bales or pit. Its great. You wont know yourself

[@Dave-jm5yo]

Class job. One thing to note. Valtras are famously nose heavy which makes them excellent for pulling but less ideal for loader work. But because they are so well built you can get away with it. Best of luck with it.

[@nb9280]

Hi Tom, we have one for seven years and if anything happened to it I’d replace it, works well on our class 420 it takes a bit of getting used to but works great, watch out for low doors…

[@ryandig3711]

We’ve one of the early keltec bale shears had it 11 years now. Gives very little bother. One thing that helps with plastic breaking on a flat bale off is lifting the bale with the knife edge and pushing it down to make it round again. Also when closing the grab put the foot to the floor until she grabs the plastic 😂

[@tomwalsh7559]

Good luck with it Tom. I always say go big or go home. You're going to be a professional on it next week.

[@ash9532]

Great video as always 😂 but that roof is going to get the odd dent can’t wait to see it this time next year 😂good luck

[@calmspirit]

Irish Farmer... Good...

[@mrhorsepower150]

Ever consider building a silage pit

[@theirishfarmer]

Maybe at some stage but not for now

[@billbobby461]

My method for using the shear, blade fully open obviously, i tilt the shear over the top of the bale positioning the top front of the shear on the ground practically, then close the blade between a third and half way through the bale. I lift and tilt the shear in all the way back towards the tractor before moving the blade again. This allows half of the bale to fall back in on top of the tines as you cut which supports it. When you drop the blade again the front half will fall out, blade most of the way down and tilt the shear away from the tractor to roll the second half out, this is important because often the silage is still cradled in plastic, doing it this way with the shear tilted back allows the silage to be supported on the tines so you can roll the second half out of the plastic that is underneath it, otherwise it tends to just tear half way up the bale and the silage stays on top of the plastic. Hope that helps

[@theirishfarmer]

Thanks for advice

[@Sull576]

I had one found it a bit awkward for low sheds and very heavy with a bale hanging out the front of the TM and Q980, it's probably aimed for a loader/loadall but other lads seem to get on very well with them I went back to the grab. If you take out the two outside tines it will pierce the bales easier.

[@theirishfarmer]

Thanks for info

[@bryanbuckley9264]

10 bale's in you'll have that down to a fine art . Well were.

[@stevenyeats7088]

I'll have to look into altering the flow on my MX t10 on the valtra 6550 it won't crowd back two 800kg bales unless I lift them up and then use the parallel lift rams to assist it.

[@charlielynch1298]

When your saying about the loader aslong as you don’t need to lift high that loader is prefectly fine for most jobs and it’s an old loader so it’s not flimsy like the newer ones

[@curraghmore1989]

Tilt her back more when you're splitting the bale. And tilt her full then your releasing the plastic and it won't get caught in the blade. Brilliant job. Have 1 with a few year. Only job with diet feeder.

[@rancher4911]

Grease will be key especially the front axle

[@nirvairsingh1678]

👍👍👍

[@SuperFen123]

Can't really see the point... could get out and remove wrap and net quicker I would say.

[@barryodwyer8757]

Agree, my bales are well chopped, remove plastic and netting in one minute flat, lift with double spike bale fork and bale is in bits with very little manual forking these machines over rated for feeding at barriers, still alot of work to do with them bales to get them all along front of barriers

[@michaelohaire9527]

You'll have no problem with it when u get used of it I have one on a farm all 115 last 5 years no bother 2 it good luck it it

[@peterdooley2393]

How long before you catch it on the roof of the shed. It's a big piece of equipment

[@hughcarrigan7824]

I feed all the rounds bales in the yard with a minidigger and grapple feed 150 cattle in 20 minutes no forking involved. I have two tractors with loaders in the yard they are parked for the winter

[@theirishfarmer]

Hello what size of a digger do you use that sounds cool 😎

[@hughcarrigan7824]

@@theirishfarmer it's a 3 ton tackeuchi with a mechanical 3 into 4 grapple I have the bales near by and I squeez them between the blade and arm to move them around, won't be beaten for feeding out bales and tucking in! And also great for cleaning smaller sheds etc a brilliant tool if as you have the diggers

[@markfoxton894]

Would you try a bale unroller at some stage?

[@theirishfarmer]

Maybe who knows

[@Kt-ro2fm]

Kel tec probably the best bale shear on the market cos it works from the button up

[@williampatton8277]

you waste more time sorting out the plastic and the net/plastic and the lump of silage caught in the grad do over 600 a year and have tried a few and always went back to the bale lifter with the rollers removed we use a 7mt handler and you can spread the bale along the feeding face no big lumps

[@darrenwhyte8387]

Would you consider a diet feeder Tom?

[@theirishfarmer]

Not at the moment but In the future

[@patrickconcannon6006]

Do u need 4th service for it

[@theirishfarmer]

No she’ll work away

[@patrickconcannon6006]

Class job

[@anthonyodonovan7266]

Are you going to consider stop using nett wrap and use the plastic instead. It's a nice machine.

[@theirishfarmer]

My baler won’t take the plastic unfortunately but definitely in the future

[@cmg5140]

That machine is bound to make feeding easier but I don't like it, it's over engineered if you ask me to big and awkward for under low canopies like yours, all the other brands I see are far more compact I've seen some of them worked on smaller tractors like the 900, I think you could of got a more compact machine for less money and done the same job

[@richardphelan3815]

Have a tanco baleshear.the keltec is far better.tanco suits all types of drivers.keltec doesn't.

[@markocarroll9424]

Why is the keltec better than the tanco ?

[@jay-od7kh]

VALTRA not made for a loader total dog of a yoke

[@hughcarrigan7824]

I have experience of valtras from the past and they are very durable and well capable of punching above there weight, those 900s were unbreakable, the clutch could be a bit soft when pulling huge loads but other than that they were unbelievable. And those valera engines even now have some torque.

[@jay-od7kh]

@@hughcarrigan7824 copon to yourself Unbreakable there’s nothing unbreakable there cheap 💩 for cheap farmers

[@theirishfarmer]

She’ll do my job fine thanks

[@jackburke7485]

Have a valtra now dont know myself
