You could save driving on the silage by feeding the first one left then doing the second one on the right with the boom right out and boom on as you unroll. Then repeat for the second half of the shed
Tried to get to see one of these working with intention of buying but couldn't so I rang Johnson's to see if they did demos another no so I looked to hire one for a week of them, another no. Got in touch with hustler themselves and nothing. Rang blaney and 2 days later and X10 landed in the yard for 2 wks trial, bought it.
Hey. We have this machine on our dairy farm in NZ. When you cut the wrap off just cut 1/3 (not 1/2) and you won't have the problem of it getting stuck to the chain.
I really like the two camera videos with the monologue to camera as your thoughts arise while you are using the equipment or performing a task. It must be more work in the edit but the output is worth it 👍
They are a great machine, we have been using one (different brand) for the last 8 winters. It's on the back of the tractor for most of the winter. You do need a wide feed passage if using it behind a tractor, and a hydraulic top link is also essential
Have a bridgeway one myself good machine for tight passages spin out both side and then move and repeat i lets the plastic go around with the chain does no harm pulls off when empty also handy if you want to split a bale between houses
I bought one last year use all the time very handy on the telehandler like you.We use it for bedding too tend to loose the cattle out.We find it good as you can put a small amount of silage where you need it.Buy a new one you will be pleased with it.
Nice setup, I guess feeding both sides as you move back is the way to go :) I would also think that it will roll off easier one way than the other anyway, because the bale is rolled together one way anyway :) But quite nice setup anyway. And if you buy a new one, I guess you can sell it again when it isn't necessary anylonger. But the onrolling in the field is very handy ;)
Great Video lovely machine Farmer Phil one quick question about it when you take the machine off how does the hydraulics connect and reconnect is it a hydraulic bank to seal or have hydraulic pipes to be connected each time best wishes cheers Declan
If you look on the left of the machine you can see that the hydraulic drive engages mechanically to the feeder so there are no hydraulics on that part of it. It's a round contact with two lugs on it - this is the mechanical drive.
you should be able to feed both sides at once ....... look at the video posted up on you tube . the passage in that video is very narrow and they are using only a loader on a tractor ........... buy the new machine you will not regret it ............... have one here for a few years .....good machine in a narrow passage ..........stack the bales on their ends in future .......they will spread round shaped bales much better ....... if a bale will not unroll u can unhitch from the machine and put it on the other side and the bale will roll off ........unchopped bales tend to not unroll in the opposite direction of the way the bale was baled more so than chopped bales , if that makes sense ........ they will work well on a tractor but u will need a loader to put the bale on the unroller ..........u can use the bale spikes that come with it but u will not be in a good mood after ...... drive harder out in the field and spread the bale out over a bigger area .......less waste .... I thought that I was mad buying one , but I would not part with it now ......only machine to feed in a narrow passage I never have to do any forking in after from day to day .............!
With the weight of the tele can you not drive up to other end of building Phil with the boom out, as turning the bale just use the boon in at the same time, surely that way you could do both sides without driving on the silage , just a thought 🍻👍
Hi Phil I don’t think I could justify 10000 for one of those for 200 bales does not make financial sense that sort of money could go way further spent elsewhere does what it says on the tin but god it’s too expensive
If the Wife likes it go get it because HAPPY WIFE HAPPY LIFE. Plus it looks like it's going to save you a lot of work and like anything else the More you use it the faster you will get and you will get better at dropping the silage where you want it.
We take wrap off then sit it on then cut 1/2 net off unwind the bale and pick net out of the passage .you are trying to put too much in the passage still a lot of graping
Surely Keltec would send ye a bale shear and some of the tub feeder manufacturers should send ye demo's of both at the same time, that looks a very slow way of doing it
Lad Ik your trying to save time by putting four bales in every other day but you would be better putting 2 bales every day so that there's not a big pile of silage in front of the cattle and there would be less silage going onto the slats and going into the tank and if any silage did go onto the slats go in pick it up so that the silage is not wasted
Drop your bales in the passage way and roll them back with a grab. A smaller 5ft tine grab.... you can clean out waste silage, you can work the silage around. You can press it down so its not falling in to slats. That machine is cool. But its a one trick pony and it is kinda slow. Nothing to do with you, its just the process is slow having to drop bale, hook up, cut the plastic, roll the bale around, back over to take off plastic. Back in to machine..... Thats a lot of messing vs.... grab the bale, drop it, take plastic off and blow bale apart.
Your ad section would put QVC to shame, won't be long till you're getting a call to be a presenter on a shopping channel The shed was the perfect width also any thinner might have had a few problems spreading the bale
What's handier is if you can feed two bakes every day, instead of four bales every second day. You arent driving on silage as much and cattle are getting fresh silage every day. Might not suit your setup though.
Make up a triangle out of H iron and put hydraulic rams on each side, you're only wasting time with that yoke. And you'll probably still be spronging in.
Those machines are waste of money, drop d Bale with end facing the animals, come back the next day and shove it in. You can access shed from both sides.
Hi farmer Phil that was a great job for the sliage in the shad to feed the cattle and buy a new one 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You could save driving on the silage by feeding the first one left then doing the second one on the right with the boom right out and boom on as you unroll. Then repeat for the second half of the shed
That is a handy piece of kit Phil save everyone's backs

Would a tire pusher be any use shoving in the silage
Have a bridgeway one myself good machine for tight passages spin out both side and then move and repeat i lets the plastic go around with the chain does no harm pulls off when empty also handy if you want to split a bale between houses
Great outfit Philip. You and liv are mighty .
My dad's boss used his on the tele to unwind bales silage and straw into the keenan feeder worked fine
That’s a great piece of kit Phil. Definitely save the aul back. Another fantastic video. The both of you are great together.
Great video Phil I should get one of those for my loader
I remember rolling out bales by hand for our shorthorn cows in our South Dakota pasture in the wintertime 🥶
If the farming goes belly up there's a career in advertising beckons. Very smooth concise presentatio
I bought one last year use all the time very handy on the telehandler like you.We use it for bedding too tend to loose the cattle out.We find it good as you can put a small amount of silage where you need it.Buy a new one you will be pleased with it.
Ya have fun mixing that tank they have more round there feet.

Looking good machine save a lot of backache
Great piece of kit to save some back breaking work Phil
Nice machine Phil, save time and your back Liv will be doing it soon she is a fast learner.
And don’t forget Phil,,,,,,,Liv is expecting Santa 🤪🍻👍
I think 2 bales, 1 each side might be a better job if ye go this route. Every day go there with tele and you'd get it in quick enough with practice
Ya,shed is too small for 2 bales a side..
Did the holly that you hung get rid of the ringworm ?
“ you, bad back”😂😂

If you held the boom higher can you not move over a little so the silage ends up not going in the pit Phil
Nice bit kit
calves thriving well outside
Great video Phil she’s some job
Hi Philip, go on put it on a tractor coz we're not as posh as you😅
Is your feed passage higher than your slats?
Handy machine
Your a great sales rep 😂
Serious job u should make a tyer pusher aswell ld save alot of forking work for diet feeder or bale silage ke with old slurry tank wheel
you should be able to feed both sides at once ....... look at the video posted up on you tube . the passage in that video is very narrow and they are using only a loader on a tractor ...........
buy the new machine you will not regret it ...............
have one here for a few years .....good machine in a narrow passage ..........stack the bales on their ends in future .......they will spread round shaped bales much better ....... if a bale will not unroll u can unhitch from the machine and put it on the other side and the bale will roll off ........unchopped bales tend to not unroll in the opposite direction of the way the bale was baled more so than chopped bales , if that makes sense ........ they will work well on a tractor but u will need a loader to put the bale on the unroller ..........u can use the bale spikes that come with it but u will not be in a good mood after ...... drive harder out in the field and spread the bale out over a bigger area .......less waste ....
I thought that I was mad buying one , but I would not part with it now ......only machine to feed in a narrow passage I never have to do any forking in after from day to day .............!
Could you ask Johnson to put de easy on/off thing that's on de new one on de 2nd hand one so u could just buy the 2nd hand one
Good bit of kiwi gear. 👍🏻🐂🐄🔧🚜🇳🇿
Buy a Lely vector and stay in bed n mind the back😂😂😂
Great machine
One thing if it have a sideshift like on a forklift to see and give better view for feeding right
Snowplough on the wee 520, she should be able to go up the middle on the second day
With the weight of the tele can you not drive up to other end of building Phil with the boom out, as turning the bale just use the boon in at the same time, surely that way you could do both sides without driving on the silage , just a thought 🍻👍
Just get a bale splitter and it will feed both sides and work ur way out of the shed with bales.
Be better to feed end bays then work yourself out rhe shed doing both sodes as you go. Instead of one side at a time
Nice piece of equipment Phil, is there room for all the animals to get to the rail at once?
Half on the keft, hakf on the right.
Phil the Hustler😂
also with to and throw eitherside it will break up salage more make it easier to manual fork up
Hi Phil I don’t think I could justify 10000 for one of those for 200 bales does not make financial sense that sort of money could go way further spent elsewhere does what it says on the tin but god it’s too expensive
How expensive is back surgery??
If the Wife likes it go get it because HAPPY WIFE HAPPY LIFE. Plus it looks like it's going to save you a lot of work and like anything else the More you use it the faster you will get and you will get better at dropping the silage where you want it.
Buy a 3 grain fork , it'll help
now all ye cowboys want Liv to have a fork in each hand
Pull it off liv tell da back gets better 😊
Bale slice is als0 a good machine for a fraction of the price
We take wrap off then sit it on then cut 1/2 net off unwind the bale and pick net out of the passage .you are trying to put too much in the passage still a lot of graping
I'd always unroll the bales with the loader. Its a great job. Take a little bite off,roll it back and push it in.
Good video how is the process on the back
nice
Good bit of kit.. mind the back man.. but more importantly I’ve noticed you have a lot of reflux get it checked out..
I have one on the back of my tractor and use a hydraulic top link for more height, fantastic machine no more forking
Pull the wrap off before you drop it into the turner
If you bought one youd probably be better to stack the bales 2 high next year so it dosest squash the bottom one as much
Surely Keltec would send ye a bale shear and some of the tub feeder manufacturers should send ye demo's of both at the same time, that looks a very slow way of doing it
A grapple on a three ton minidigger I'm feeding cattle every day on forking needed
The bale has to roll off the way it was made if u don't it wont come off right u be 2 as long putting it out
Lad Ik your trying to save time by putting four bales in every other day but you would be better putting 2 bales every day so that there's not a big pile of silage in front of the cattle and there would be less silage going onto the slats and going into the tank and if any silage did go onto the slats go in pick it up so that the silage is not wasted
Great tool don’t need to take off plastic on bottom with the barrel wrap stays onspikes
Some job tho the bale slicer would be as handy in there

Good video how is the back
I've been spray my combine for 30 years no raits.
What's handier is if you can feed two bakes every day, instead of four bales every second day. You arent driving on silage as much and cattle are getting fresh silage every day. Might not suit your setup though.
Phil and liv, what a brilliant piece of kit. Hopefully, that will save your back, Phil 👍
A lot of silage wasted in your shed set up the cattle will pull in an a
Lot of it
I have one it’s okay but solid bales just don’t work I had no problem with the McHale bales but won’t work on the John deer bales too solid
I’d rather get a tub mixer and do 2 bales a day chopped maybe with mineral and some cake
🇮🇪🇮🇪👍👍👏👏🙏🙏👌👌💪💪
Keep it simple stupid. Take down feed barriers. Divide feed passage in two. Two round bale feeders.lift a bale in each end with the tele
Make up a triangle out of H iron and put hydraulic rams on each side, you're only wasting time with that yoke. And you'll probably still be spronging in.
You may aswell keep that one I'm sure theres 0% finance on it anyway
You started on the wrong passage
Tell Liv a new one would be better for your back.
Repeat after me - I’m going to leave the yoke back and get a 2 spring fork and tip away 😊
Good video
Those machines are waste of money, drop d Bale with end facing the animals, come back the next day and shove it in. You can access shed from both sides.
That machine is a total waste of time
We bought a Blaney version basically identical and used it for 3years and put about 3500 bales across it and never looked back
Hope you didn't pay much for that junk - were you drunk when you bought it ?
How is it junk? Explain your reasoning behind the comment? Infact. Why not make a video of your own reviewing it?
NZ. Made
It’s a fork not a 🍇
sprong surely
@ correct and right
@@johncullen9177 round here it would be a pike
It's definitely a graip not a grape
@ Oh right is that how it’s really spelt when referring to forks 🍴 awesome.
