MF 7618 1ST TIME BALING

In today's video we are putting our new tractor the MF 7618 to the test with her 1st time baling with the McHale Fusion 2. We see how she compares to the MF 6499 on fuel usage and handling. It's time to put this girl to work.

We have very recently bought a massey 5612 from 2015, with only 300 hours! things i have learned that you might find useful. On the setting screen you can change starting gear by putting the shuttle into forward, and then pushing up or down on the shuttle and T bar at the same time, you will change the starting gear. if you want to change the reverse starting speed you do the same with the shuttle in reverse. The other useful thing is changing how smooth the gear change is on the settings, made a massive difference to the 5612 because of how light it is. As you know yourself, the best way to learn is to sit in the cab and press buttons and see what happens. looking forward to seeing this tractor in the future! (PS the air con is the best thing on this planet, the fans are actually louder than the engine in the 4 cylinder!)

[@cdemo1186]

And Phil,well ware and all the very best with her,smashing machine. 👍🍀

[@fionndevlin-kelly3909]

Class Phil when ur pimping that yoke put a set of halogen beacons on her the same as the 99 it would make her stand out

[@JohnGregory885]

[@bkeenan32]

I did a double take when you mentioned the 7718 at 6.38 😂 maybe that's wishful thinking for the future 😉All the best with the new tractor, looks a lot more suitable for baling than the 99. Great video as always 👍👍👌

[@farmerslife2612]

The Best of luck with your new tarter

[@cillianryan8698]

[@minidigger1000]

Great tractor hope it does well for your family you deserve it

[@MF12000]

Very nice drone shots here Phil. Could ye do a little chat on how you work the baler and how ye make good “square” round bales if ye get me?

[@danmullan3739]

Whats the moisture content. ? Especially in Ireland compared to us in Connecticut usa??

[@Martynsfuels]

Good luck with her

[@stephenmcnally7653]

Lovely tractor best of luck with her

[@mattb5667]

[@maireadkane5689]

Very best of luck with new tractor Phil, 👌

[@himself2]

Fine looking tractor

[@2013viewchannel]

Great vid Phil good to see you enjoying the new toy. Interesting to note the difference between a 180hp rated tractor and a 215HP one. However its best to look at the engine capacity too rather than the HP solely. The 7618 has a 6.6L engine while the 99 is 7.4L. Engine power is the main requirements for PTO work like baling while in draft work like harrowing the torque requirements is higher, in these cases the torque on the 99 is superior. Moral of the story is matching the machines as best as one can will make it more efficient. As you have wide variety of tractors now it will be easier to match the work to the tractor better were you can. Saving 1000L across the baling season is no small achievement.

[@damiendelaney3344]

Best of luck she look.well

[@massey135jj]

The only way Id look at fuel is at the pump in the yard counting bales against litres burnt the screens can be out a bit

[@Tractors_steam]

Some machine best of luck with it.

[@mistaken_stranger8343]

She looks well with the fusion

[@lesterhertel2945]

Nice tractor some really good hay

[@ywilliamhamill5585]

great video phil hope the new tractor is getting one well and great song choice it was class. (also did anyone elce see the flat tire on the 6290 so phil what happend LOL)

[@martincraig1974]

It's got a slow that's what happened 😂👍

[@redskyatnight123]

Cor that massey is looking good on the drone shot phil . Good stuff matey

[@eamonahern7495]

Put me up in the likes of a 135, 168, 188, 265 etc from the 1970s and 80s and I could get it going. It's been a long time since I drove one but it'd come back to me. Put me up on that thing and you might as well be asking me to fly the starship enterprise on my own. I wouldn't have a clue what all the controls do tbh.

[@roydouglas6934]

Phil you are happy out in the 7618 nice looking outfit

[@colmanlong1032]

Great Outfit,looks well.

[@spannermonkey]

Tidy looking tractor mate, hope see does you well🤞🤞 front tyres look a bit worn on the outside, might wanna check the track rod inner and outer joints for play👍

[@thewippit2400]

Great tractor looks gawjus 👌

[@bryanbuckley9264]

Smashing looking machine well wear.

[@claetuswoodroofe1854]

In one of the left screens you can zero a fuel litre counter before a job and check what you have used after and it’s accurate.In the same screen you can see how many litres it has used from new so divide that figure by the hours and you will know how hard it has worked in its life by seeing how much fuel it’s used.

[@stephenrowlands843]

Sweet tractor I must say!

[@farmingwithvinay1767]

सर आपकी वीडियो बहुत अच्छी है

[@haroldjones4309]

Outfit looks good, a fair saving on fuel

[@robert22801]

Well you may wear Phil. Upwards and on wards 👌👌

[@sandymcghee3328]

Great video Phil good luck with the new tractor great drone footage. How will get the new tractor 🚜 will it be liv or bro 😎👍👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ciaranmcmullan4030]

Such a tractor

[@willyottley1333]

Good video farmer pill

[@dykehead1]

Very smart

[@user-rw2um8ro2p]

Great video Phil she’s a lovely tractor are yous going to get the 6480 going

[@brianmilne6942]

Big clatty hands in a nice clean cab 😂

[@noelwalsh4205]

Nice tractor lad

[@jay-od7kh]

15:58 the feed silo looks like its leaning left

[@akaxl]

you should calibrate your fuel meters before relying on them as accurate

[@anonymous6371]

How do you calibrate them ?

[@PH-mo2ez]

How many bales have u on the fusion now phil must be searous amount

[@adrianchandler1471]

Keep your hands clean in your new tractor phil

[@frazz3336]

Oh and i noticed the wear on your tyres at the end of the Video, you should go get her alignment done, grassmen done a segment in the video "two legends and a donkey" and showed the importance of wheel alignment and the savings it has, they definitely look out of alignment

[@cathalquinn5487]

Mind your self on a hill with the brake to stop, it will take off a bit as it knocks the gear box to neutral

[@flor1n_832]

nice massey end good videos

[@nialldaly7108]

Great Video, If the MF 6 cyl is so close to the 4 Cyl Kobuto, is there any need to go for an MF 4 cy at all, Extra tractor- Extra expense - Cost Benifet Analasys on cost of tractor Vis-a-V saving on fuel

[@frazz3336]

Probably the nicest looking tractor made, my absolute favourite! Congrats on getting it again, looks well with the fusion behind her too! 😁 what's the plans for chrome mirror guards or bars or extra lights 😉😂

[@Dan_Murphy755]

Nice lad

[@rob-jf2eu]

Would you not try 540 eco for baling? We run a Mchale F550 on a MF 7480, handles it with ease on some steep ground.

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

Not sure whether the eco gear in the tractor is able for it or bot

[@claetuswoodroofe1854]

If you saw how much smaller the eco gear is you wouldn’t bale with it and how much it could cost to repair it on his type of Massey

[@florencecox2022]

WELL YOU MAY WEAR.

[@paulweston2326]

I would always go for a 6 cylinder over a 4 cylinder, my 3085 uses less diesel than the old 3070 did, doing exactly the same work with the same implements

[@harry.bethwaite]

Tractors and machinery are different now technology has changed that amongst other benefits for 4 pots

[@paulweston2326]

Is that why a local contractor who also uses a fusion got rid of his modern 4 cylinder fendt when the engine blew up and went for an older 6 cylinder which is still doing all his work

[@harry.bethwaite]

@@paulweston2326 I’m not saying it has more power or grunt I’m saying it has other benefits, much lighter travels much better in shit conditions and Ireland, much more nimble I take one stab into gateways with a 4 pot and 3 with a 6 pot, much better on fuel especially from new to old. A Fendt 716TMS is obviously going to go better and last longer compared to a 516 (I choose those two for equal hp on paper)especially if it’s fusion day in day out but other brands stick it more,I know Of stories of Fendt 4 pots having issues compared to JD and MF aswell

[@THEW1CKERMAN]

No offence im a big fan of the 30 series but you're about 30 years behind mate, engine development has advanced massively, modern 4 cylinder sisu engines are a different animal completely

[@paulweston2326]

So why do our older 6 cylinder daf trucks use less fuel than our newer 4 cylinder daf trucks, with the price of fuel as it is, using less fuel is money in the bank

[@garymadden2656]

👌

[@larrylornahickingbottom1432]

Be careful to not let your DEF tank go empty. That’s a hell of a headache.

[@agrifarmingireland1604]

Leave the windows closed anyway if you want to keep the air con working

[@jasondavies4887]

Just out of interest, what happens when you dip the clutch and than have your foot on the brake and leave the clutch out?

[@stephendleahy]

You mentioned a new or second rake. Why not get a front mounted rake and row as you bale?

[@tonymurray814]

Prob overkill but a small metal detector in the cab for broken rake etc in the hay?

[@agoodbluewilldo8359]

Great stuff Phil... what do does uncle Ian think of it

[@merr2014]

Diesel still cheap over there , here in Greece almost 2 euros

[@robertmartin259]

more 7618

[@malla4696]

Great video Phil. Hope your enjoying the new tractor. Well wear. How much is a round bale of silage in Longford?

[@tipperarymick5337]

Was the Kubota running the baler in economy pto mode? Would make a difference to fuel use.

[@redskyatnight123]

I love massey's ,but give ma a 3350 john deere any day

[@alexgrills7219]

I'm a deere man myself. But spend 12 or 14 hrs a day on a 50 series clutching to let a bail out, you'll not be long changing your mind what tractor you'd take

[@patrickmcdermott4717]

Get the tires changed

[@davidcollins336]

You may pto studs tight it impossible to keep them tight

[@marksheridan7754]

Phil you're an awful man driving her with hands that dirty

[@brianoregansbm373]

Shes a beauty in fairness Phil. Just wondering has the 7618 got adjustable/adaptable rear suspension like some do? Might help straighten the ride with baler when empty. Assume its just the weight transfer from an empty baler. Maybe a small weight block or ideally a crop roller in front linkage would give you some ballast??

[@charlieboy9297]

Hi

[@GerbertGerbert]

The fuel monitors on tractors don't tend to be all that accurate in my experience. You really have to compare it to liters you put in the tank to get an idea. Good you like it though!

[@danielbrett7334]

How many bales of sliage do you make a year

[@ivorsmyth6168]

She's a look s gran

[@jameshyden8119]

How many bales has your baler got??

[@mrcodi6447]

What drone do you use

[@Hissing-Syd]

Better than the Kubota?

[@richardmcelroy373]

Why ya not use the 540E?

[@redskyatnight123]

I don't know if this is nosey or not phil but is eric at farming college or normal school?

[@brendangolden3674]

Are you baling in 540 economy
