batcher Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 First time out for me with the combi did 150 bales lost a couple over the back (right pain to pick up again) till i got used to it But it dosen't help with no camara to see behind .Season has been fairly good so far done 7500 bails and ratteled a fair few acres off but a lot more to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 My mate has just done that to his BR??. Then they tried a Uniwrap and loved it. When the business comes down to him he will wiegh up the demand for bales and the price of wrap next year as to whether a second hand Uniwrap will be viable. For now though, they are pretty pleased with the combi. A bugger working across slopes though. Will your boss get a camera sorted out Steve?

batcher Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 The output of combi is very slow changing wrap, wrap breaking alright if i only have up 30 acres a day to do .And if you end up on a slope you have to drop off the wrapper bale and then drop the bailer off and then wrap slows the job down too much .When this last week i have been covering upto 80 odd acres a day getting 70-80 bails an hour out of her in good going plus the wrapper man can do other jobs for an hour or two We have some cameras in the shed just haven;t got around to it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I think my mate averaged 40/hr with the trailing wrapper and 45 in 45min with the Uniwrap. He did his maths and needs a garunteed 8000 bales a year to justify a second hand Uniwrap - that's with the cost of wrap as it is at the moment.

We had a mchail fusion a few years back good tool when working alright but the reason it went was a fixed chamber at four foot not a lot of good for straw. 8000 bales dosen't seem a lot for a season I did 23000 last year silage/hay/straw hopefully i will get another new welgar 435 next season .We had a lorry load 24 pallets of wrap back in april all gone now half way thro another load going up at an alarming rate (hasen't said how much yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I think it has gone up by £65 a pallet Stevo. Pete does 8000 silage and about 10000 straw. Don't know about hay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
