If net is catching early, its too slackA lot of folk on the west swear by Welgers, unsure if they mean pre-Lely days or not though. We've a Claas 340 here and it's fine in good conditions but as soon as the crop is damp it becomes a nightmare with her throwing net too soon and having to jump out to reset the knife. The small damp grass is also hellish for building up on the rollers and the smaller grass jams in the corners of the rollers so you have to constantly keep pulling it out to save bearings. Fine in dry conditions and a good crop though, but how many of us get perfect conditions!
I would avoid another Claas
What size are you wanting to make up to ?Should have added with chopper, any budget as may trade in square baler
his baler does have balers choice fitted but he changed his combine to a rotary so ripe straw and wet seasonIs it the soft ground letting you down, or just damp straw?
Appreciate it doesn't answer your question and not a quick fix but have you looked at putting an applicator on the square baler and using balers choice?
Got a friend down near Lurgan running the system on his 187 and is well pleased with it, im sure he would be happy to chat about it.
It does have its limits too all the same ...
Think just stick to 4 footWhat size are you wanting to make up to ?
Have a 186 with balers choice on, straw still needs to be super dry and cleared once baled. Rounds can stay in fieldIs it the soft ground letting you down, or just damp straw?
