Fusion baler service

[valtraman]

my fusion only a year old we got for own use hasn’t done massive bale count 6k maybe. What should I look out for to prepare for next season ?

6k bales one year old for own use!? You should maybe look out for a forage wagon

Why?

6k bales 22bales per roll at 6layers don't know if it's true and don't want to find out but heard it's gone up £15 roll to £65. Just over £17500 in wrap plus net

I see your point! I thought he was a contractor. That's a lot of plastic.

He said got for own use I assumed he just ment his own he may do some contracting

A set of cam bearings if it's not a camless pickup would do another season without them but peace of mind if you do, sort the pickup for tines & that should be about it.
You bought new I take it?

Clean wrap dispensers, check tyre pressures, change gearbox oil, unlikely to have damaged a pickup tine but if so replace and wash and grease as that’s serious light use and at least another season or two before pickup cam bearings are needed.

Light use yes but will last me a long time and can bale when I want plus few contract jobs pay the finance so win win

I'd change the gearbox oil, sharpen the knives, grease it and head for the field. Never known a Fusion to need much in the first 20k bales.

it’s not up £15 a roll, my supplier is quoting £6 increase plus nothing gets 6 layers here. Yes bales are expensive but when Ure silage pit is condemned on a short tenancy farm a little more money in making bales is a no brained plus I can do a field when it’s ready not just try and get x amount of acres ready at once . Also like I said I do a small amount away from home which covers my payments so it’s worth having

We were paying 49.50 per roll last year. Got some recently at 52. Guy we get off saying his supplier wants it up to 56
