Just like to add to todays video that the net on our bales was an issue this year , we have an extra layer of net underneath the top roll of silage. So this would cause the silage to get held with the wrap. It doesn’t affect the bales but would leave these machines incapable of working correctly. I expect to see this problem on any other bale shear we demo. 👍
Have the same issue with my bales Adrian it's because the the baler man isn't stopping fast enough before the netting starts and grass goes n when the bale starts netting found that out when u used be baling
@@evanwilson6040 I no sure every man does to same to pack them more but should press the pause button for the netting until your finished letting n the grass in to the chamber do the same myself tho so can't say much
Best bale shear on the market Adrian,tried all of them and the Keltec works v well for putting bales straight into a tub feeder.All the other makes won't allow you to do that.We have the Keltec with 3 yrs with no issues.
I like the way you review stuff Adrian, you tell the goods and the bad. Like you said it gives people a better idea of what machines would suit them without sugar coating anything. Brilliant stuff
At the end of the day people want to see all aspects of a machine so they can see what suits there setup, they can make there own minds up when all is shown. This machine would work great for some, especially if they own a diet feeder and have a more open setup than mine. Thanks James 👍
@@IFarmWeFarm What I was wondering was the back-and-forth movement-Did it take more fuel to position the silage? Is it fuel economical? Excellent presentation, again, Adrian. Well done, Sir.
@@georgiaannbicknell6129 well technically yes but it would so small in comparison, that extra fuel would get burned with our old spitter anyhow as we’d have to take the plastic off ourselves with the tractor ticking over. Thank you 👍
Hi Adrian, we have a Keltec for six years and handle about 650 bales a season, it’s fantastic when you get used to it and we have a wheel on the back for tidying up very little forking it’s mounted on a class 420 here.
Hi Adrian, I've gone through the pro's and cons of all bale shears about 2 years ago before buying a shears myself. They're a great tool. Especially for splitting bales amongst small numbers of cattle, so as to use up bales quickly and keep silage fresh. They are also easier on a loader, your not trying to pull a bale apart with a grab, shaking the bushing out of the loader. For me the keltec is a bit heavy, very much suited to a big loader Q6 up or a JCB etc. Just on the net issue, normally you get net under the silage with most bales or balers, but if you try the bale film next year you won't have that problem. The film is much easier for the bale shear, no silage get caught up in it, like it does with the net and it all goes to the one pile no splitting plastic and net.. anyway best of luck finding the one for you. 😅
The net isn’t much of a problem to be honest, I’d pick that fault over rot anyway 😉. The fusions always make a good bale. I honestly don’t think anything will beat the splitter for our setup, might consider welding on euro brackets for the front. It’s great to try others out though just to see what’s out there
Hi Adrian. Watching you from outside Newry. We have had a Keltec bale shear since 2012. We feed over 300 bales some years. We also have a Tanco dual purpose shear that shears bales and cuts grabs of silage. Tanco machine was bought in 2014 to try to use 1 machine instead of both when filling diet feeder with a mix of pit and bale silage. Keltec is head and shoulders above the Tanco. Tanco is a brilliant shear grab in the silo but the plastic and net grabber isn't reliable when shearing bales especially in sticky or slightly damp bale silage. It simply doesn't grab enough material. I stopped using the Tanco over the diet feeder as it was dropping far too much plastic and net into the feeder. Good luck with your trials!
We have the dual purpose Tanco that will take the plastic off the bale's but also act like a normal sheer grab for pit silage. We've had it for years and it has worked a treat. We also don't make bale's with net. All our bale's are made using that newer white plastic instead. Much tidier then netting and easier to manage for the grab. When I'm feeding I never have to get out of the loader. Saves a boat load of time.
Have one for over 8 years. Has well over 20000 bales opened. Great machine. But I’m afraid it will always catch that little bit of silage in the plastic not a big deal really. Very well made machine. Only thing I ever put into my keltec was grease.
I have one of these for about 5 years now. Fantastic machine, very strong built! It helps to get the nose of it right out over the bale when you are picking it up, if you follow my meaning. That way the bale sits well back in to the grab when you pick it up.
I have a Rohan type made in limerick serious machine on the fermec.it too catches the bale on top cuts 1st then clamps any shape bale.find it handy if you only want to feed half a bale.we too went away from net to plastic great job,well worth the money
Hello Adrian, I've just came across your channel in the last few days and subscribed straight away. I am a city lad Galway to be exact with absolutely no relation to a farmer or know anything about farming or cow's etc. But I have to say I am thoroughly thoroughly enjoying binge watching your videos I love your attitude to work ethic you do it all yourself and you keep everything nice and tidy. Anyway just said I'd leave a message as Im well Into your channel at this stage. Keep up the good work mate take care 👍👌
Best design for diet feeders. 👌 looked a weapon on the front. Wonder how many lintels get clobbered 😬.. far play for having a play and showing us what there like or expect. Stay safe 🏴
The reason you get net onder the silage is the person bailing dosent stop before putting on the net i was told the bailer wouldent pull in net but if its working right it will dont know about automatic . Enjoyed video as always thanks
Looks like a great piece of kit and halfway through the video I was thinking, it's the perfect thing for putting bales into a diet feeder since it holds the plastic at the top and it would save the folk that feed that way a bunch of time. Because I guess they would have to drop it on the ground first to rake the plastic away if it's held at the bottom of the splitter
Well done grate video it's some tool very well made 👏. Anyone with bails of silage grate time saver .but expenses would need to come into it 😩 Would need to
Good demo Adrian. You should get onto James Carroll and see if he has a bale splitter you could demo. We have one of his for the last number of years. Very well made bit of kit.
Super stuff. Really looking forward to all these demos as need to get a bale shear soon. Was thinking cashels so looking forward to that one, but no doubt the plastic isn’t hanging near as long with the keltec. This is the beauty of seeing these things in operation like this
I haven’t read the comments and someone could have said it already. If you lower the blade a few inches after you drop the second half, most of the silage caught will drop, especially if you give a small shake. The blade will come down a good bit before the clamp opens.
Enjoyed the video you are undersold you are such a easy person to listen to and make the video so easy to follow. Is the rear weight enough for the weight on the front back end looked a little light maybe just the way it was on video.
Great videos Adrian, this is interesting topic, my dad uses all bales and I’ve told him a bale shear grab would save him getting in and out with a Stanley knife. My dads cousin used one of these Keltecs and said it slower and using a Stanley knife. Everyone raves about a tanco one but I think the Cashels one with the vertical grabbing hooks just logically makes sense, especially with with the left over silage in the plastic, hope you get a tanco and cashel one
The johnston sheergrab is just as effective when you get used to it and can spread the silage more evenly and it's yellow which blends in with John deere. There is no need for counter weights on a John deere there a well balanced tractor.
Third year here with a keltec. Still catching a small bit of silage with the clamp. On a jcb. Great job over a diet feeder. Surely your mchale van be mounted on the front of the loader
I had these in two different yards with tub feeders. They work well but they always hold onto a bit of silage which is messy. Plastic should be able to be dropped in heap for recycling. Top down ones would be a disaster with tub feeder. Would like to try a tanco for just feeding bales to barrier. Might be tidier. Do t push split bale with the knife like in video. It WILL break
That's a class bit of kit Adrian. Was just wondering if the lads at Keltec were to put a second set of knives on the lower section of the shear or even make the knives reversible, say bolt on and off that grab could be used for bales and pit silage. Looking forward to the next video. 👏
You should try bust your bales with your fleming bale carrier just spike the bale in the centre take off your net and push the spikes out it should bust the bale and you can shove the silage up with the spikes afterwards…worth a try when you already own one save you buying a new machine if it works 👍👍👍
Looks to be useful and the amount of faff involved, probably is the same amount with any product. If I recall correctly, I think that with your McHale, you need to first get out and manually remove the wrap and net. You are going to need to get out of the tractor to appropriately dispose of the net and wrap anyway and collecting any silage left over can be done easily at that time and a good old fashioned pitchfork will be your friend. The Bale Shear and tractor will have done the heavy lifting so not so bad. Probably a lot less work than the traditional small bales. So, putting that into perspective, I think this piece of kit and similar is possibly as good as it is likely to get.
Well Adrian, how u doing ground very wet , l must say that grab is very handy, but it like every thing, it take a bit a getting used to it say , kieran from Laghey donegal town
Your silage looks in great order Adrian, is it as good as it looks, shear looks a good piece of kit, I don't think you were sore on them, I am sure they will be pleased with your demonstration, very interesting video as usual Adrian well done, good luck to you and all yours
Ya a good machine but more suited to a loader or 3cx. When you add a dry Bale of 700kg you'd bust your front axle and also for people looking, the top down machines hold the second half of the Bale in them to move to a different pen or bay. I have a spearman for filling a diet feeder and fine. Keep up the good work.
ideal for a 150 plus heard farm last longer than a conventional feeder with less maintenance but feel a bit to big for your farm its alot of weight on your loader but a good maybe cheaper than a feeder
Great vid 👍 we've been looking at them but worried about the weight only got a 80hp loader tractor the thing looks well built but I want to keep half a bale to move to a second feed ring and that doesn't look like it keeps the bale ? Thanks 👍
Great video, while the under cut is different, a top cut would allow you to take silage from the pit like a shear grab while doing bales without switching implements, looks well made, hope there is a good wareplate under blade for shoving in the silage!
Not sure what the tines are there for especially since you pushed up with the blades ! They could be removed and the rest of the structure moved down and reconfigured to improve visibility?
It's ideal for filling diet feeder out in an open yard on a loading shovel or very big tractor but it is very cumbersome to use under low roofs, my biggest gripe with it is I can' t see how you can divide a bale between two feeders
Well Adrain I was just wondering is the blades on the bale shearer replaceable or is it a case of having to sharpen them not that they should go blur to easily but over time they eventually will
We had a keltec on demo.. far too heavy for a 4 cylinder tractor the bale today was dry looking enough get a heavy bale and it's a different story.. loading shovel or teleporter or 6 cylinder no problem bit akward lots of space required ..
Will it work on a soft bale that contractor's are so fond of making since they are all using f**king rakes,you know the ones that are 2ft tall when stacked after about 3 weeks
@@IFarmWeFarm yes I remember it did work well for you but wouldent work great with just the machines you have now realistically you would want a 60 or 70 HP tractor to put it behind and load it with the loader to not be taking it on and off
i would prefer the forks detachable, also seems a few too many forks on it i dont want to be patching bales too long. but i would consider buying one after a test drive myself, looks good, seems to do what it says on the tin.

Have a look at our last Silage video Penny, all is seen there 👍
480 Kilos = 1058 Pounds
Great video Adrian. And when r u doing a video on the cottage?
Did you use any knifes when baling?
One of those small bale unravelers that goes on 3 point be ideal for you but you would want a small 2wd tractor for it really
We had the hustler on demo last year, it was suitable for our setup unfortunately but a great machine. There’s a video on it last year

would work better if you had net replacement film on the bales
Didn't think that massey was going to lift it. Wouldn't need a weight on the back of a JD 😂.
Good demo. 💪
Ya but then the bale shear would be worth more than the tractor 😁😁😜
Head home for a cup of tea and bun Adrian 😂
There Is Some Netting On The Silage They Are Eating Adrian. ( I Bet You Saw It LOL XX ) It Is A Big Lump Of A Machine
Got it 👍👍
Can I ask what size tyres are on the front of the massey? Great video I much prefer the tanco bale splitter..
440/65/28. He has a video on it too,
th-cam.com/video/wFTXf9yHZXw/w-d-xo.html
Good honest review as always Adrian. 👍 How much heavier would that be than your own shear grab?
I must check that to be sure but I ’d be thinking about 150kgs
Yes that’s a fair but heavier. U defo need a good counter balance and solid loader to handle it.👍
Why do you put white paint on your bales?
To make it easier to remove the two outside tines to pick up the bale better
