definitely made in Ireland see plenty coming through Holyheadl port which Anglesey North Wales. glad you are keeping the funky farmer videos going they are brilliant👍
Yes indeed Richard, McHale Engineering are in Co Mayo in Ireland. They also do stand-alone balers and wrappers as well as the Fusion machines - serious gear
here in new zealand i saw some baling being done. it wasn't as sophisticated as this. a type of contraption that would lift up the bail then wrap it in the air. loved watching this. very neat.
Colin.noone no Niall is right,I’ve been to kimaine a few times this year with the baler and wrapper,that’s where they fix the machinery,one of my friends work in the assembly in ballinrobe,that’s where the equipment if made

Richard, do you bale any grass hay Unwrapped)? Large squares or small squares. We started of doing small squares then finally switched to round bales. That baler is an awesome piece of machinery. Bale & wrap in the one unit.
that would be quite hard because we tore the plastic on a bale last year and tried to put it back in the wrapper part but we couldn't get it to go in. we had to wrap it by hand
Very lucky to live in an area where there are contractors that can to jobs on the farm for you. Where I live most farms have to own all of their own equipment and do everything themselves because there is not enough farms for a contractor to make a go of it.
Nova Scotia, Canada. Cape Breton Island to be specific. There is farming "hubs" in the mainland of Nova Scotia, but in my area there isn't much left. There is only about 3 dairy farms within 100 miles of here, us being one of them. i think our farming style is a little bit different than how you guys do it over there, feel free to check out my channel some time.
Interesting. A lot of the dairy farms around here have gone too. Most dairy farms are much bigger than ours. We are quite old fashioned so dont take it that we are a typical uk farm in how we do things
Well, your barn is nicer than the old one we had lol. Up until a few years ago we milked in a Stanchion barn with a pipeline milking system. 6 milkers, sat on stools beside the cows. Trench behind them. Then we built our new freestall barn and put in a 6x6 herringbone style parlour. What a difference that has made both on the cows and us. Not having to kneel or bend over milking makes a huge difference. We can milk all the cows in less than an hour, we only milk about 42. It would be nice to get some more quota and some more cows but we have some other issues to sort out first.
If you think the mc hale is good take a look at the krone ultima! it dose not need to stop to unload the bale from the main chamber as it has a pre pres chamber witch is filled when the main chamber door is open. it is a continuouse round blae wrapper
No combination baler can compare to a fusion due to many factors. One winner for any irish/English operator is the difference in dimensions, all other balers are way bigger than fusion which isn't ideal! Continous baling isn't a big issue, a fusion can push out between 600-800 bales a day depending on a few factors.
What we do with the unwrapped bales (because every now and the there is always a glitch in the computer and one ends up unwrapped) is just squeeze them from the side with the bale grab and put it back on the wrapping table
Philip Walsh I was responding to the original comment, talking that as a contractor their biggest competitive edge is the machinery and a fusion baler is just one of those edges!

That is the mcHale fusion three and McHale are made in Ireland
Good video mate
Great vid
here in new zealand i saw some baling being done. it wasn't as sophisticated as this. a type of contraption that would lift up the bail then wrap it in the air. loved watching this. very neat.
people still wrap bales like that here too. This machine is the top end of the scale
i love the Mchale fusion balers they are very big in ireland
Yes the headquarters are in Ireland but they also have another factory in middle Europe ... Poland I think
They have a factor in Mayo as well as the headquarters.
The baler is made in Balinrobe Co. Mayo in Ireland. Its only 20 minutes up the road from me and they make loads of baling machinery.
Niall Lally it’s killmaine

great video Richard glad to see you back uploading also I was wondering what did u do with the un wrapped bale after
feed it straight to the cows
the bailer is made in ballinrobe co.mayo IRELAND hon mayo

Have a fusion 2 ,wonder could you pick up unrapped bale with baler wrapper roller tying on the bale
I dont know
Richard, do you bale any grass hay Unwrapped)? Large squares or small squares. We started of doing small squares then finally switched to round bales. That baler is an awesome piece of machinery. Bale & wrap in the one unit.
yes we still make some small bale hay. You are right its an incredible machine
looked a good crop what did you do with the not wrapped bale?
fed it to the cows
nice video. were the bales being delivered to your farm
Yes
That's a great 2-in-1 machine! How many bales did you wrap?
i'm not sure
+thefunkyfarmer OK.
Great video Richard :) You could have got the McCormick and put the bale in the wrapper part with the loader.
didn't have time to do that
that would be quite hard because we tore the plastic on a bale last year and tried to put it back in the wrapper part but we couldn't get it to go in. we had to wrap it by hand
u need the arm that raises the bales when they are finnisihed

RichardI checked it's manufactured in England and how many bale did you come up with at the end of baling.
It's manufactured in Ireland actually
MJM Sounds & Lights
well then I was wrong must of read it wrong when I looked it up sorry everyone can be wrong thank you for correcting me.
i think it was about 40
thefunkyfamer
wow that off same that were grass silage was chopped and made 40 round bales that a good field.
That's is allsome
nice vid again mate
if it is the fusion 3+ why are they using net wrap rather than the standard and better film?
Ben
Because bale wrap is too expensive to use for wrapping and netting
You can chose to do either with the fusion 3
fusion 3+
I i guess so,
15999 subs ill say congrats on 16000 subs in advance
well spotted Aaron. Ive hit the 16000 today
How many bales per acre?
Great video.
cant remember
+thefunkyfarmer ok
what happend to the unwrapped bale
fed it
If you think the mc hale is good take a look at the krone ultima! it dose not need to stop to unload the bale from the main chamber as it has a pre pres chamber witch is filled when the main chamber door is open. it is a continuouse round blae wrapper
We had an ultima on trial. Biggest pile of shite I ever operated. Fusion runs rings around it
Ahh suprising! In theory the contiuose running of the ultima sounds great but if it dose not work it must be a pain!

+SBNTI16 I see. i did not think about size and getting through gates!
+Mark Simons Makes a huge difference doesn't it!
What we do with the unwrapped bales (because every now and the there is always a glitch in the computer and one ends up unwrapped) is just squeeze them from the side with the bale grab and put it back on the wrapping table
ya that i what i was thinking, or i guess the cows would not mind eating it if they are to be feed it straight off
What about the round bar at the back that wrapping goes around on how do you get the bale by it?
An operator that is any good at all could get a bale between the 2 bars with ease
is that a t7/t6
t7 i think
How many bales a year do they do with that to justify it
I said a good few it would cost up on 80,000
they are contractors buddy pure and simple they buy the big machinery so we dont have to..
+Brooke Cable (DevonshireCowboy) yeah no shit sherlock
Philip Walsh I was responding to the original comment, talking that as a contractor their biggest competitive edge is the machinery and a fusion baler is just one of those edges!
I was told for a machine like that 10,000 bales a bare minimum per year , it could be bullshit but that's what I was told
Irish company McHale
There made in Ireland county:Mayo 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

mchale is based in killmaine co.mayo
I must be a pessimist at heart because the first thing I thought was if that piece of equipment broke down it would cost a pretty penny to fix and I imagine that they would set a farmer back quite a few quid to buy one of those machines outright if they wished to purchase one
.
ya they cost around 60 grand out new
They dont break very often do mchales, good strong baler
righ enough ;)
he missed an unwrapped bale at the start
Basically boring do you think you would see it happening on your own farm. It just happened on my farm today
it is his own farm
How's it boring
mchale are an Irish based company.
www.mchalefm.ie/index.php
when are you doing your hay making videos rich
soon maybe
Ok thanks
we had a mchale fusion baler and it caught on fire
