No comparison. Fusion is the only way to go. More compact, faster transfer, safer on hills. John deere is a touch wider too i think which doesn't help getting in gates. If i was buying a combi, a fusion or maybe a massey would be the only 2 I'd consider but I havnt got a go on a massey combi yet. Used a lely tornado but only spent the day broke down with broken chains so didn't get much done. Hopefully the masseys are better.
Well my own baler at home is a massey ferguson which is the new welgers. There's videos of that up here already. I really like those. I drove a lely 245 tornado in new zealand last year for a day on a case puma 240cvx but only ended up making around 50 or 60 bales with it for the whole day because the back door chain kept breaking. I took the camera with me that day but never got a chance to use it because of the breakdowns. If I have some free time in January I will try to go back and see can I have another day on it and take a video this time. Drove that lely 235 baler for a few hours as well actually, the one from the ford 7810 and conor wrapper video. Grand machine too.
Bale kickers only good for handy ground. On steep stuff you'd only end up backing up and they'd fold under the baler and wreck everything. The fusions are bad for doing it, I've never done it but the neighbor has done it 3 times. Also on the fusions any slight bit of an incline and the bale will just fall over when it comes off the bale tipper and it buggers off down the hill anyway 😂 I baled a dead flat field the other day and 2 bales fell over just because 🤦♂️ I'm usually not too bad for losing bales, that field wasn't even a bad one, I was just off my stroke being in a new machine and all 😅 I was raging I lost that one.
@@WayneMescal the 578 that ran beside it was sound but the wrapper was the problem the transfer was to slow and the Rpm was only 35 rpn on the 678 and the twin axel desgij
@user-tw5se8ho7s yeah compared to the fusion this baler did seem slow, but it's still probably twice as fast as a 678 I'd imagine. Our old 578 still works locally. Can't be too terrible so. I spotted it working in 2022 across the hedge. First time I'd seen it in 10 years 😆
@user-tw5se8ho7s video of a fusion 4 coming soon. Changed the 2019 3+ for one this season in new zealand. I went home to ireland today. I'll upload it there sometime this week.
Want do you think of the John deere baler c441r vs to the fusion

Yeah defo keep commentary on some videos like these, when the kit or situation is different or interesting, could be farmer Phil 2.0 any time soon 😂
Haha thanks. I'll try to do a bit of talking, I think the change might be good.
just wandering lad did you ever bale with a welger/lely baler ? btw class vid

No bale kickers? They look like they might be useful in a paddock like that 👀

You gone back down to the Deep South?
Yeah gone again for another while
@@WayneMescal whereabouts are you?
@78mikehayes Otorohanga but we do work from Te awamutu to Piopio.
I worked a 678 for a season pls dont start me
Oh they were a bad yoke I'd say. We had a 578 when I was maybe 10 and 11 years old. No end of trouble with it apparently.
