- Thread starter fastfarmer
- Start date
im baling around 750 silage 250 haylage 200 straw and 150 hay depends on the year and weather i have only 120 horsepower and no load sensing and im on steep enough land where i am thanks for the idea thought about it
Is this any use to you? It will do rounds and 4 string squares apparently but never have. currently won’t count the revolutions of the turntable I think it’s probably an easy fix for anyone keen enough I just don’t seem to ever get round to it and I want it out my way so £750+vat

What make?
It’s an astwell 865 they took the old dowdeswell machine and re badged it but have since stopped making them although they do keep some spares still

Tip it up and look underneath where the turntable is attached, if there's a cover there might be some slip rings and brushes underneath, rub the slip rings with some wet and dry paper, then it will start counting again, we'd to do it once or twice a season on a Tanco we had.

welger 235 and mchale wrapper. good kit easy fix
£18k is plenty for those numbers of bales. You could even have some change. 120hp tractor is more than enough I round bale on some steep stuff with a jd 578 and 115hp no problem.
sound i have found a 235 and machale 991c in line sytem

Good idea. I’ve seen it attempted and wouldn’t recommend them used in tandem.
