We use the standard shear grab here to open our bales And get on the finestAnyone any experience of a bale shear that holds onto the plastic and net? How would they work with third cut or after grass bales that have been stacked 3 high and squashed into all sorts of shapes.
I bought a Rossmore one two years ago. With misshapen bales, I have to push up against a wall or two other bales to push the plastic back far enough for the holder to grab the plastic. No bother after thatAnyone any experience of a bale shear that holds onto the plastic and net?

No issue, If you look at the video Tanco have on their Youtube channel, they're using just the bales you're talking about.Anyone any experience of a bale shear that holds onto the plastic and net?

Same here cut the bale in half and sit it down so you sort the net and plastic,sometimes the nets fairly wrapped up.No issue, If you look at the video Tanco have on their Youtube channel, they're using just the bales you're talking about.
I actually prefer not to grab the plastic and net. I split the bale in too, flip it over so the net and plastic can be removed by hand.Net and wrap easily separated then. I always find it holds on to silage if you grab plastic and net together.
Use a shear bucket here that grabs the plastic & splits the bale. Split on the floor and reload into the feeder, sounds like time wasting, but it’s a quick way of doing it. If you had a bale shear over the feeder there might be a slight chance of a bit of plastic dangling into the feeder and getting caught.Anyone with any experience of using a bale shear to load silage bakes into a diet feeder. On the wish list for next year but I wouldn't bother with one if they can't be guaranteed to hold onto the plastic and net. The Keltec looks well built and I like that it doesn't use the tines to shear against.
Done it here with the tanco the wrap sometimes fell into the feeder or would get caught in the second half of the bale. Might work better with a teleporter. But I eventually just split the bale on the floor and loader it then. Slow work. Don’t use a feeder anymore thank god.

Using a Cashels bale shear here works perfect for every sort of a bale only problem with it is the chunk of silage it holds onto while retaining the plastic , no bother really though because you have to seperate the netting and plastic after you get down anyway.Anyone with any experience of using a bale shear to load silage bakes into a diet feeder.

Yes it can be used but Its not the handiest. it's quite hard to explain but the way the tanco shear works is it splits the bale in half and the bottom half falls down, then you move forward and the wrap on the cut half flips the half over so the cut face is on the floor. Then you can release the other half of the bale. When it's over the feeder you can't flip it over that easily and you could get stuck with the cut half hanging in the wrap like a fella lying in a hammock for want of a better description. It'll work away fine with normal first cut bales that hold their shape, But for bales taken off paddocks, you could be very unlucky.Anyone with any experience of using a bale shear to load silage bakes into a diet feeder.

How big is the grab for that job?We use the standard shear grab here to open our bales And get on the finest
5ft2" the bales are wrapped in plastic instead of net so works a treatHow big is the grab for that job?
Tanco bale shear here, bought new in 09, works very well in 3rd cut wet bales that are squeezed to hell. Would definitely recommend one. Once I start feeding I never leave the cab til I’m finished.
After trying a keltec I am wanting to try a tanco. Trouble is the dealers don't seem to want to 😡
Try telling the cops at the covid checkpoint that you travelled 250 miles one way for a demonstration bale shear...we have a demo goweil in Cooney furlong if you wanted to give it a try 👍....... road trip 😋

What did you think of the Keltec?After trying a keltec I am wanting to try a tanco. Trouble is the dealers don't seem to want to 😡
They look very well built to be fair, designed for an industrial loader or a teleported I would think.I know a guy who bought a keltec and doesn't use it now as was to heavy along with bale on the tractor
