Computer on baler counts when PTO is running. Set the one on tractor to count while engines running running. But as someone's said it can wrap 6layers in 30 seconds i can have a bale ready for wrapper if I can drop them off without needing to place them
Is that with a fusion ? if so what tractor ? power? did you have on the front of it
Yea fusion with Valtra n174 on front 165 boost to 201.
So just while the baler is running, ours counts that way too, but I generally count hours spent dealing with the baler, like fueling up, net changes etc. and work my hourly output out from there.
It's a small day doing the pit mate I'm not standing there watching them for 3 weeks
Then instead of spending endless days carting and stacking bales Im drenching lambs, moving cattle, spreading muck, ploughing & drilling stubble turnips instead of having to pay contractors to do that work cause I was struggling for time due to LUGGING FECKIN ROUND BALES............ So Im also saving money there as well now I have time to do it all myself 
. Jesus u reakon Its cheaper to buy a rake, baler & wrapper and crack on yourself with it ....f*ck me mon being a one man band there's jus not enough time in the day..... Or money in the bank....
your rake fusion etc should last 30yrs if well looked after and still have a value then, your contractor fees are dead money and will get dearer year on yearIt's a small day doing the pit mate I'm not standing there watching them for 3 weeks
I love to work hard but you've got to work smart nowa days & putting the pit in was the smartest thing I ever did.
Around £8 , no more than £8.30 i have been assured. Baling, wrapping and wrap. Owner drivers on both.
We go some real steel bits with fusion and get on just fine . It’s actually quite handy at times as if u think ahead where Ure sitting a bale u can carry it down over steep bit or sit it off at top . Least with fusion u only sit the bale down once compared to trailed wrapper . Baler drops it the. He wraps and has to drop again. If Ure on 4 layers wrap that’s 60 bales u can rattle out before stopping again
do you recon you need that on sloping land or could you get away with less?
I used to like running the twin spool with enduro film it would do nearly 90 before I had to change wrap, it was pushing it a bit with 4 layers though but would have been good stuff with 6, don't even know if you can still get it, it was made in Ireland, I went out there for a look round the factory. can't remember the name of the place or the company that made it.
U know wat your right I've seen the light........ I'm gonna order a brand new fusion & twin rotor rake Monday...... 30 glorious years working all hours of the day here I come....!!!!!!
Volac made enduro I’m pretty sure
You want to book him early he’ll be very busy (fool) at that price
We've got our own baler but if i were starting out farming again as a young man the first thing i would do is build a pit(s) for a clamp or 2 .U know wat your right I've seen the light........

With those big tyres the fusion will go anywhere & good on banks but you'll need a beast of a tractor to go in front of it to boss the weight & drive it....
I don't know your situation or age but if your gonna stay in the job for another 5+ years I'd get the diggers in & order the concreteWe've got our own baler but if i were starting out farming again as a young man the first thing i would do is build a pit(s) for a clamp or 2 .
