Pros: a great machine, I know a fella that says he can feed bales without leaving the cab cons: fairly expensive un less you use a lot of bales.

How many bales do you feed a year?

There fairly heavy so you'll need a counter weight. Friend has one on a TM 150 and he said it's inclined to lift at the back with a few heavy bales. Also you need good oil pressure to operate it. I don't know about those makes but know 2 lads who are having bother with the tanco bale shearer as it won't catch the plastic off the fusion plus bales.

Having a young family and the PIA that is
Shift work,need it for time,either in early morning or late at night before or after work 250 Aprox depending on type of winter we get.

cashels one has brackets welded on whereas nugents has u bolts, so cashels might be stronger in that regard.

are they both the same weight?

What about the mchale bale splitter for the loader that can hold the plastic and net? It would be cheaper and lighter and easier on the hydraulics.

First off I don't know anything about them but I think you're dead right to be considering one. 3 grand over a lifespan of minimum 10 years is peanuts.

The day of the 4 prong pike is well gone. Look at all the ould lads that are fcuked from driving those yokes.

Ah the four prong never crippled any man if any thing it was a great way to keep fit. I know a few farmers nowadays that would want to spend a few hours a day working them

They're not walking leaning to one side though! This thing of you're a great man if you drive one of them or a Darby all day every day is laughable.
Go for a run morning or evening and you'll be alot fitter!!

if using that type machine in a narrow passageway half the bale would fall away from the barrier and have to be pushed in.

there is a reason why there is a nice big yard used in that promotional video!:p

looks like a bit of a faff to me ?
surely a shear grab would be better with pit silage
suppose though the 4 pronged device is uncomfortable to sit on though
