Tarrup Bio baler

Why specifically a taarup bio? As far as I remember they need to stop to wrap the bale unlike the fusion, kuhn, lely etc that can wrap and bale at the one time.

Good job for a farmer baling their own but are slower and make a noticeably smaller bale than any other baler

Slightly but they make a seriously dense bale if the operator is willing. Be interesting to see max weights but any I've ever moved from a Taarup bio have been heavy heavy bales.

Can parts for these Balers be got anymore? This was a very different baler to most other balers of the era with many bespoke parts, plus there is a very limited number of second hand or machines for breaking. Contractors never took to them for several reasons, mainly output rate was slow, but there were also a few other issues such as soft bales, bales getting stuck on in the chamber when you tried to pack the bales. Tension on the plastic was often too low leading to as little as 24 bales per roll, add that to the soft bale and it isn't such a bargain as it seems.

I see comments made that you can run them on low hp, well that's only true on flat dry land, see how you get on with a sub 100hp tractor on heavy upland with a Bale jammed on the lift door!!

The newer Kuhn machines are a different beast, but still not a contractor machine but obviously aimed at the farmer who has a spare 80k

Compared to other combi balers which is really a silly comparison. For a low hp baler one of the older krones or rp12/200's or non chopper Deutz require far less hp.

I was talking in the context of sub 100hp tractors, the point I made earlier is that a sub 100hp tractor cannot handle a bio baler on heavy hilly or soft ground. So it's a silly comparison akin to comparing cutting down a tree with a penknife vs an Axe. The Balers I mentioned are relavent for low hp tractors, again in the context of the conversation, the options for running a baler do not include combi balers

I'll cut you off here as you are going down the road of making a Strawman argument.

Good luck
