Welger Baler First Day Out In First cut

[@robdennison339]

Here in Shropshire we have had heavy rain for the last 3-4 days we are considering bringing the cows in tomorrow it’s that bad

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Its very heavy rain here now. Looking at forecast like it until weekend. Cows wont be happy in this, ours might have to be back in yet

[@gabrielbrookesagri9752]

why are you wearing an arla butter jumper?!😁 Great vid, awesome first person perspective!👍👌

[@GEOFFKV6080]

We sell our milk to arla. It was a freebie of them

[@ianhaggart1438]

Now it's too years on How's that baler doing for you? Good video also. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@antonyfarming]

Great vid the way you were putting bales out I through there was more than 300 it look like alot more did they wrap ok? Did they wrap in field or at stack?

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Wrap in field

[@caragray7010]

I had a guy bale with a welgar, my claas was needing a chain, and the bales had far less in them, must have had about eighty bales in stead of 60 odd with claas.

[@yant8777]

@Robert Gray I agree ! I have a Claas 255.Had a breakdown, so got the local contractor with his McHale fusion.Fine baler but yes,they are definitely smaller.

[@donalpower7152]

Can't beat the welger we run a 235 profi on a tm 140 great combination

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Yeh good balers. Not to keen on the net wrap set up. Don't like the flimsy curved bar with the lagging on it. It loses shape to easy. Did a few years with a McHale v660 I think they just have the edge on the welger

[@Paddy6.30]

​@@2xxx2xxx21lad haif of the stuff mchale have is all copyed off welger they coped so much stuff of them like drop floors welger were the First ones to have a drop floor on their balers are mchale copyed that some dont be saying they steped up

[@Paddy6.30]

What baler do you run now lad ?

[@pjagrivideomcmanus3661]

We have a 245 profi great baler

[@samheal9383]

Surely you put those pins on the pick up wheels to keep them in. And what’s all that on the hitch

[@GEOFFKV6080]

you dont need them Sam. they lock them selves on

[@casto-]

Bugger there's some grass in them swaths! Surprised it didn't start balling up on the hitch even with the plaggy bag and Billy band! What was the final count?

[@GEOFFKV6080]

I was surprised how well it went under the hitch. Finished on 305 of 35 acre

[@casto-]

That will do nicely 😊

[@ritchiemullins6384]

The McHale fusion bales are 4ft and a bit or 51 inches!

[@dennisbean7336]

Really enjoyed this

[@derektinkler4120]

Good video do you bale any small bales?

[@tractor180350]

I have never done any round baling only little square hay baling so this may be a daft question but why do you reverse to kick the bale out? why carnt you just stop kick the bale out and then carry on?, I have seen a lot do it so there must be a reason, thanks for the video.

[@GEOFFKV6080]

In a flat field you can just stop and let it out. but i personally like to back up a little and put a bit of angle on so i can see the bale in the mirror when it leaves.making sure that the bale is clear and no chance of it accidentally rolling back towards the door when its going down. And this way i get a look at every bale to make sure theres not a problem with the net and its wrapped correctly. hope this was helpful.

[@tractor180350]

@@GEOFFKV6080 thanks for that, I sort of knew there must be a reason and it makes sense , I saw you put a angle on it and wondered why now I know that helps a lot thanks.

[@paulcox571]

Hi sum crop of grass in that field hw many bales did you end up make

[@GEOFFKV6080]

@@paulcox571 I used a McHale v660 when I was contracting had 3 of them brilliant baler. I personally think the v660 was a better baler than the welger

[@paulcox571]

@@GEOFFKV6080 ya mc hale is the best baler for me but welger are not a bad baler massey own them now

[@GEOFFKV6080]

@@paulcox571 it's not a bad baler at all. But for me the net system let's it down with the bar with the cladding on it to spread the net its weak and loses shape. The McHale better to start a new roll with the net rollers opening to feed it in

[@toyotahilux2]

You'd have fun baling that with a welger rp12!! 😂

[@stagmite11rs68]

Is that a new baler or new to you?

[@GEOFFKV6080]

This is our 5th season with it. It had done one season before we got it

[@ritchiemullins6384]

What does bale size 20 mean?

[@yant8777]

Very good detailed video ! Why not drive it in in 540 economy ? Just curious

[@GEOFFKV6080]

She wouldn't have enough engine rpm to keep speed and power up

Why bale so slow. You should build yourself a camless pickup for that machine with a 5 tine pickup bar. Quick tip. Those pickup wheels should not be running on the ground but just clear the ground when you hit a hill then those wheels help the the pickup.

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Why try pushing it to hard in swaths that size, there was alot of grass going in the baler. We don't need to push hard only do our own work with it. We arnt rushing to get to another customer.

[@MrGHOHLS]

@@GEOFFKV6080 that baler can handle much bigger swaths than that believe me. We drive these balers at 16kph easy. bigger the swath and the faster you bale makes a heavier bale

[@GEOFFKV6080]

@@MrGHOHLS you would never have baled that at 16kph, theres no way the baler would take it at that speed. It was wet, hadnt wilted and was lumpy.

[@aussiefendt1796]

Gustav Hohls sorry mate not a hope in hell. He was filling at 20-30 seconds. And 45 for a full cycle. That’s 80 an hour. Any more and density will be shit. His running at a good rate, even for a contractor I only run at around 75 an hour but that’s in much lighter crops from Australia

[@MrGHOHLS]

@@aussiefendt1796 we bale 1.6m bales at 60 to 70 bales per hour. These balers are meant to run fast and big rows. If you have small rows density will be sht not with big rows.
