Taarup Bio Baler

BENDYBINN

Looking to buy a taarup bio baler.Seem to be very popular up north but not as common down south.Anyone on here have one?If so would be grateful to hear your opinions on them
Thanks

Sam Kade

They would be more suited to a farmer doing his own silage as they are too slow for contracting.

Have one here (For sale by the way as I'm upgrading, PM if you're interested)
Greatly underrated machines in my opinion. Fairly simply with not much to go wrong, easy to use and very good in soft ground. 90hp no problem.

Slow compared to a fusion but ideal for farmer use or maybe small contractor.
Often quoted to do 40 bales/hour but I never achieved this, more like 30 if you want to make a good bale and not drive the ring of it .

Hey Milton. Thanks for this. So you were diving it easily with 90hp?? Does it make a decent bale???

Thinking about possibly getting one to do 1600ish bales of our own

I drive with 100hp and the tractor has never come under any pressure. I know guys who have
worked them with 90 though.

Yes makes a decent bale but like a lot of balers the row has a big influence. If you have good even wide rows you cannot but make a good bale.

Reckon they are a nice idea alright and I can see the as a good idea for farmers. Always been a bit iffy about transporting wrapped bales froma field to the yard, espically round here are the roads are ****e.

Why are you trading up Milton? Moving to contractoring or just getting a newer unit?

Oh Noooo, No contracting for me! Cousin is trading in an 08 Bio for a Fusion and only getting pittance for it - so I'm going to tangle with him.

What year is it Milton and have you many bales through it?

Are you selling your bio too or buying his?

was interested in a Tarrup bio myself. milton did you get much trouble with the netting system on them? what are they like to get at the bearings in the rollers?

They are not known for netting problems, that said I did have a small bit of trouble last summer (only in the hot weather), she wouldnt take in the net. Turned out the rubber roller for net intake was worn so new roller fitted this winter.

Never replaced any bearings in rollers but I think most are ok to get at, just one or two a bit tricky on the bottom.

Do you not have to stop your pto every bale when it comes to wrapping?? Sounds woeful hard on the clutch packs...

Yeah seems like it would be hard on the pto.. Would it be hard to source parts for it I wonder seeing as they are out of production?

Would it be the stopping and starting that's hard on the pto?

Milton09

PTO has to be stopped for wrapping. I always engage and disengage at near tick over because the wrapper works ticking over anyway. No load on when re-starting so dont see how it can be severe - tractor has soft start too which is a good job .

What does the emergency stop on the front of the baler do? , will it cut the pto or just the wrapper?

Stops all except pto usually but can be wired to stop all if you have electric switch for pto on tractor

can you change the bale density on them

Yeah was going to ask the same, how dense a bale can you make with the 100hp. Friend of mine bought a chopper baler last year and drives it off a ford 7810 but reckons it struggles to pack the bale right at the end. That said our contractor is driving a new hchale baler with about 150hp and last years bales weighted about 850kg.

Any tractor will come under pressure when the bale is almost made even without a chopper.
