Can't speak for fixed chamber but purely on density of variable balers between mchale and fendt/massey/lely the latter makes the denser bale 100%. Anyone saying different is a liar.
Or has found out how to set the density to number '11'

I’ve had 4 Rollant and never had any major netting issues. So long as the rollers arent covered in mud and crap and you’re not trying to bale in the rain they work pretty faultlesslyMostly temperamental net wrapping system. Seldom see one working without the top hood up in the air as operators are in and out of cab so regular dealing with them.
Would also start having bearing/roller/pickup reel failures long before year 9.
New ones may be better now but got fed up waiting on the improvements.
Baler design seemed to get forgotten about compared to attention they gave combines and foragers.
Can depend on individual balers though, pressure system etc. The lads working ours Think the 445 puts more in a bale than the 160 when they have been baling in same field.Can't speak for fixed chamber but purely on density of variable balers between mchale and fendt/massey/lely the latter makes the denser bale 100%.

I have had a 254 354 454 and now a 374 and find the netter to be pretty much trouble free. The last 3 years I’ve been using Juta net and have no problems.Have a 355 also and the net wrap never fails really , only trouble I had was when I didn't use TAMA net , tried Novatex and end up giving it away to a neighbour , no amount of different brake settings would fix it . But stick with TAMA and it bales and nets anything put in front of it .
Not also convinced door locks make for a better shape bale in all cases , my previous Duetz Fahr /vicon/greenland had locks and made awful shape bales and would never bale dry straw .
Just put a new cartridge in the door lock valve on my Claas and I notice it holds the pressure for days after I have removed the baler, previously it went down in a minute or two , so hopefully will make better bales again
Anybody Any experience with the Pottinger baler?
Bale shape and density can be just as much down to the rowing up as the baler or the baler operator,Having read most of this thread it’s more to do with who is a competent operator,also regularly uses an oil can and a grease gun.
Yes,something like’you can’t make a good bale from a bad swath’.Bale shape and density can be just as much down to the rowing up as the baler or the baler operator,

Too right . I used to have to bale for a neighbour who rowed up like he would for a small conventional baler . Narrow and lumpy. Always got a blockage at some point on the row ends or corners. Easiest and best bales come out of baling straight behind a Mo Co with the width just right for the pick up. That is my experience anyway but it might be all rubbishBale shape and density can be just as much down to the rowing up as the baler or the baler operator,

Whats the pressure in the welger, when set to max?At max density it takes 210 bar to get the grass to open the door on a mchale.
The welger can put more grass into a smaller area but it's hard on itself if your pushing to do that.
Set the slip clutch off on a welger when it's full and your in trouble.
Krones are only for light usage and aren't up to pushing on in 30ft wet heavy rows I would say a fusion has the edge over a welger combi but I wouldnt be sure in a standard baler.
I can't remember off the top of my head but I think it was 180Whats the pressure in the welger, when set to max?

The guy asking the question cares.yawn
who cares?
That would mean the McHale makes a harder bale, If the door opens. ?I can't remember off the top of my head but I think it was 180
I would think the mchale would make harder bales the door has to open on the mchale that's how it sets off the netter unitThat would mean the McHale makes a harder bale, If the door opens. ?
its a my red is better than your blue questionThe guy asking the question cares.
Having run both, the red ones are denser than the green ones, I say so and customers said so also. It's just a fact and answering a question that was asked without going into more details about either brand.its a my red is better than your blue question
my baler will bale heavy solid brutes of bales
if
i bale wet straw
there are tooo many variables
the question should be
what rake makes the beat swarth
what combine leaves the best row
