    Thanks Richard. Great to support the cause. My wife has just had her second dose of breast cancer in the last eight years and has come through thanks to all their great work. Now on her way to Ireland, home to the McHale !! Very apt.

    Hi Richard. Seeing as that baler is a Fusion 3 Plus you should look into using barrel wrap on the bales instead of net next year. Barrel wrap is a thin layer of white plastic the same as the outside plastic. It means you’ve no net to separate when opening. We used all barrel wrap this year And we’ve no waste frm any of the bales as it gives a better seal

    have ye ever considered using plastic instead of net? it gives a better seal and no net to get rid of

    • @liamhennessy31
      @liamhennessy31 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      nick alan it's the same cost as double wrapping which most farmer's do anyway. we used to double wrap all the silage but now use no net at all.

    • @liamhennessy31
      @liamhennessy31 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm surprised terry dosent get annoyed with the tiny rows

      may take longer, but you dont have to stop every 15 seconds

    • @TheHawkeye1313

      ya, two rows could easily be flashed into one using a hay flash. PLus having a row with more grass in it would mean the bales would also pack better

      Terry probably gets paid by the hour!

    • @TheHawkeye1313
      @TheHawkeye1313 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, he'd most likely be paid by the number of bales that he made. Paying him by the time he spends in the field wouldn't be very practical. He could just throw the tractor down a gear and go along slower, meaning you'd be paying him to go slower.

      Ryan it’s hourly that doesn’t make sense by the bale if it’s a bad crop he won’t get much money I pay my guys hourly guess your not a farmer or a contractor then lol

  • @fsking
    @fsking 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    how many acers is that field? you said you had about 60 bales and it is a decent crop so i would guess 6/7 acers?

    • @thefunkyfarmer
      @thefunkyfarmer  7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Keep a careful eye on those Pink bales, we did some for the first time this year and they've turned white, the plastic has started to perish and fail on the top of the stack. Don't worry too much though, there are several different company's that produce pink wrap, yours might be different to ours!

    • @thefunkyfarmer
      @thefunkyfarmer  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      this is the 3rd year we have done them, haven't noticed a problem yet although they did fade a bit by the spring

    Thanks for sharing, something I've often wondered when driving past fields is are farmers compensated for pylons, and if so is it a fair deal? Thanks

    • @thefunkyfarmer
      @thefunkyfarmer  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi. There is a payment every year or you can take a larger one off payment
