FUSION 3

keep going

Just in the door from xhifting a few bales for a neighbourmade with a fusion 3 and boy were they some bales, like barrels filled out to the last rock hard and heavy.we did the maths and they come in at 50 cubic feet which is always regarded as a ton of silage and id say these were definitely in the 850 900 kilo range and couldbe more.

Dry bales from a fusion weighed 800-850kgs here last year.

They are streets ahead of the rest. Massive waiting list for them .

is there any difference between a Fusion 3 bale and the bale from the McHale F5500 or 5600?

I would imagine it should be the same - but the fusion has always had the reputation for having the biggest bale

That's something I often wondered too but I haven't used or carried any fusion made bales yet, but a contractor near me has a new fusion 3 I'd love to get him to do mine this year, would the bales be any bigger or better packed than a mc hale 5500 baler

We did our during the week with a new mchale f600 baler and Jaysus they was some weight in them, I made the mistake of changing up the dual power going up the hill and up the front came on the 7610. The lad wrapping said he noticed the difference too from last year with his 550 baler as there was more bounce on the loader. Reckon they are in around the 900kg mark alright.

Grand until the guy with the smaller tractor finds he can't lift them.

Yeah I will have to stick the loader back on the tractor again if I was the draw them with the spike. We feed them out with a digger so that should be ok in the winter, I'd say lads with a 3 pot or small 4cylinder will need to find plenty of weight for the front and hope the lift will still work.
