    GRASSMEN are the fast-paced, global agriculture phenomenon whose video content and merchandise are recognised worldwide. The business was started in 2009 by current director Gareth Gault, known to fans as ‘Donkey’. His love and passion for machinery allowed him to experiment with cameras and upload content to UA-cam. To his surprise, a large following soon developed and the niche in the market for real-life, documentary, farming and machinery action made it possible to drive the brand forward.
    We at GRASSMEN, pride ourselves on providing an exclusive look into agricultural manufacturers, meeting real, working farmers, showing and demonstrating tractors and machinery through all seasons such as silage and slurry and ultimately educating and entertaining our fans.
    If you love all things agriculture from top manufacturers such as John Deere, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, JCB, Land Rover and many many more, come and join #teamgrassmen, we would love to have you!

    Your still the gold standard for interviews and engaging with people Donkey,its light,its personal,you ask the stupid questions(which you know the answer to),and most importantly you give space for the other person to talk,been watching this channel forever.
    Well done Donkey 👍🔥.

    Come on Donkey, 5 turns on the screw hasn’t changed for over 20 years and you’ve only just figured it 😂.
    We had a new 4 Plus this season and I run it behind our 18 year old 716. The 716 was purchased in 2012 just for baling and I have done over 140,000 bales with it and love it!
    We chose the cam less pick up and I’m very impressed with it. I’ve baled a big variety of crops and can’t fault it. It’s a vast improvement over the old cam type.
    The crop intake on the 4 is way superior compared to the 3 especially when chopping ,it’s a very very good machine.
    It’s a shame you had an idiot rowing your grass up for the video. Swath preparation is vital for a good bale. Width and shape can make a massive difference to bale shape and density, your swathes were too narrow and no amount of weaving could make a square bale as unless they are extremely narrow you will always end up with more in the middle or one side. Very frustrating at times!
    My opinion about a non stop machine- very heavy and almost double the maintenance down the road. Initial expense and running costs and the requirement for a much bigger heavier tractor is a huge minus point. I think an option to use 2 rolls of standard 750 film instead of the NRF would be a bonus.
    Very pleased with our machine (although a bit expensive) thanks very much McHale for all the 7 Fusions we’ve had over the last 19 years.
    And they all just went into the field and worked out of the box as they say 👍🏻

    The McHales Fusion is a class leading product, still best in market. But at €110-120k its very expensive now and we see alot of contractors winding up and out this year due to the price of Machines, maintenance and running costs.

    Brilliant video on the Fusion 4 and you covered a lot of stuff and that fella certainly knows the machine inside out. Would be nice to have asked what's the minimum HP needed to run one of these balers... Totally enjoyed this interview and great to see the boss Gareth doing what we all enjoy seeing.... Plain ordinary questions about the features on this machine and how to use it.

    • @JohnDeerefan-fo1qp
      @JohnDeerefan-fo1qp 10 днів тому +1

      I think the minimum hp requirement is 110 on the shaft. So 130 horsepower tractor. Often ran our fusion 2 on a 6430 premium John Deere. 138 horsepower max engine. Not ideal but it’s do able. Just need to use your head as an operator.
