Single belt sounds expensive if it needs replacing!
I know of a fusion that was bought with a single belt at the start of last season it didn't last long it was changed back to 3 belts not even half way through but I don't know why
Single will be a nightmare to clean the rollers it's bad enough shifting 3 about but a big single wouldn't be easy

Remember talking to mchale rep when they were in pre production of there belt baler and they tried a single belt back then but could not make it work at that time??
Yes, I was led to believe they had tried all variations of belts during development of the variable baler & determined that 3 was best
At last another baler like mine with the density rams straight up the back of the springs!
McHale have seen the light eventually!
My new one is lying in the dealers yard if it's not it's not far away but there's a couple in crates and they've got 3 belts on
It would solve the problem of belts wandering and twisting in light crops and small unequal swaths but I'm not convinced. I'd like to see one going in silage for 1000 bales before committing to it
Anyone running the new type netting system yet ?

I could only get a fusion vario with single belt if I went for new
I heard there is a new netting system also
Ye
Yeh they changed it on vario fusion last season it's on the v660 this year I dunno why the current system is pretty good other than not liking the rain I've never had another issue in 30000 bales

Biggest problem with single belts is stones with multiple belts there plenty of gaps for them to drop out with a single belt they just get trapped and end up punching holes in the belt. I dont think the whole net system is new just the net brake system which is now adjustable on the control box .
The front of the baler looks completely different the net roll sits away further back and higher up now

We had a baler on demo 2 months ago and were told only difference was the net brake but there could well be a new version for the european summer.

Looks like it will be fun humping a roll of net wrap up there.
