    Yes you can

    There’s a video if you google it of a fella in Laois who got Kelly’s of Kilkenny to set it up. Can’t think of his name now

    Edit. Found it

    Can give bits of bother sensor wise. But in the 4 years using it only had to leave 1 job and get another wrapper to finish. Was a solenoid.
    Worked behind tractor first year then behind baler.
    Baled and wrapper 55 baler an hour in 30ft rows last year. But everything went right. You’d want to be concentrating on what your doing. No phone or passengers.

    Wouldn’t get a new 1. Know where there some with 7k or 8k bales on them.
    Fusion wouldn’t really suit. Great to be able to pull a pin, disconnect a few pipes and head off to bale straw or hay.

    Think there’s a difference in the hydraulic setup on the baler.

    I spent a day on one power harrowing that a neighbour had on demo. Nice enough yoke. Cab was lovely and roomy. Had lots of power for the harrow, really manouverable and great visibility.
    The cab was a little bit noisy I thought and the gear lever is a little bit too far away, with the armrest gear change buttons a little too close.
    On fuel she didn't seem any more thirsty than a T6030 I had used the previous year, but I am only guessing on that.
    My only concern would be that if you buy one you must reconcile to staying with the brand but they are about €20k cheaper than a New Holland/Deere/Massey of the same spec if I remember my neighbours figures correctly and 0% finance for 3 years at the time on a new one. Second hand ones are hard shifted here in the South East. That may have something to do with Murphys of Kilkenny being the closest agent. That is a 90 minute drive for me and they have a poor reputation on aftersales service around my local area. mMaybe guys closer to KK city would have a better experience of them.

    Very poor seller second hand in England too, they used to be cheap imports .Don't know what they're like now pricewise.
    Neighbour had one, but has a NH now ......says it all really.

    I was very close to buying a 2018 M7152, price was the obstacle. It was for sale in Atkins, not sure if it still is, came in from the UK. I drove it, nice lay out in the cab, screen for the controls is pretty big. It lacks work lights on the back. There's a plasticky feel in the cab compared to other makes. Good view front and back, tight turning circle, easy to use and comfortable. I heard stories of the chasis splitting in the middle. That is probably all talk.

    A relation has a smaller kubota with 10 years. It's a great tractor, stays going, light on diesel, nimble but it's light on the backend, same as the big model tractors.

    Actually that was a dislike with the M135GX as well, plasticky feel to the cab.

    That’s why people are prepared to paid a little extra for a deere or fendt. If your goin to spend 14 or so hrs a day in a tractor cab you may as well be comfortable.

    A little bit of finish doesn't go amiss. Switch gear feeling plasticky and all of that is letting them down imo.
    I don't want absolute luxury but a little comfort.

    There was a nice comfortable seat but where the radio and controls for the fans are back behind you. The covers around controls felt like timber.

    When you are paying the prices of tractors nowadays you have a right to expect/demand a decent level of finish and comfort in the cab.

    As long as they stay going is what I look for. Because mechanics are busy and hard to find. Besides contractors and tillage 500hrs would keep most busy.
