  • Alllllriggggghtttt description time 🤣 you know me by now lads.
    SO....story is I bought a 2019 rb3130f Massey round baler on the thinking of buy it fresh, buy it once after having reliability issues with some of the second hand machinery I've bought...mostly that krone tedder to be honest. It was an absolutely flaking baler altogether, lovely wide wheels on it, one of the less common 25 knife models, only 1900 bale on the clock when I bought it and no, it wasn't a demonstrator. I know who bought it new and once he bought it he decided to change his mind and traded it for the exact same baler, only the combi version. I was actually so happy with it it's sad to think about now. So a bit of backstory of why that's not the baler you see here....
    I says to myself, my machinery actually worth a bit now, I'll get myself a fire extinguisher, just in case like, you never know (you can see where this is going already 😢). Everything I own I insure it anyway, because I like to be covered but I says an extinguisher would be good to have anyway you know....I threw it into the cab of the ford at the start of the summer and it didn't come out since. I baled a few bales anyway, and then I had to draw them, so I got my friend with his low loader to hook it on the Ford and he drove it while I stacked in the renault. One load of bales left to draw and the fecking Ford's 1 and 2 gear linkage pops out of it's socket inside the top cover of the gearbox due to wear. It was going to pop out any day but chose that day to do it. So I dropped it to my local guy for him to fix as I was too busy and didn't have the jacking equipment for the cab or really know how to do the job either to be honest. My friend hooked his 6465 Massey onto the low loader and finished that job anyway.
    So fast forward a few days, we had a bit of hay to bale, only like 20 bales and also 8 bales of silage in a grazing paddock. I says, "the Ford is at the mechanic, I'll hook the Renault on the baler, it'll do for today." Grand job, baled the bit of silage. Got to the hay. Baled 7 or 8 bales. The c***in Renault self combusts under the cab (wires rubbed methinks) and because my extinguisher is in the Ford, I couldn't do a thing. The first thing the Renault did was switch itself off before I even knew it had caught fire so there was zero chance of unhooking the baler too. The Renault was gone in 10 minutes, the baler gone in 15 and my heart was broken in 20. Fucking sickening to be honest. I'm raging, absolutely raging.
    I'll post a youtube short of the fire there sometime when I've calmed down a bit but for now at least Whelan's garage in Kilrush, the dealer I bought the baler from has unboxed a brand new 17 knife 3130 just to get me through the rest of the 2022 season. That was sound of them in fairness, there was a lot of stress lifted when they said they were going to do that. I collected it on Saturday and drove it straight to the yard you see in the video. I was planning on going to a tractor run on Sunday to get my Ford dynoed to try and cheer me up a bit as I've been wanting to get it dynoed for like 3 years now. After the tractor run I literally drove like 2 miles up the road, hooked on my rake, raked it, hooked on the baler and baled it as you can see here. I said to myself "this is probably the first and last time I'll ever make the first bale out of a baler so I'd better record it 😅".
    So yeah, here you go, my 7810 raking some hay on a Sunday evening and then making the first bales out of a brand new Massey baler immediately after.
    I have a video taken of my original 25 knife baler baling heavy silage too, I'll put that up sometime as well. Bought a lovely 991bjs McHale as well so videos of that too eventually.

    Ah you’d be proper pissed 😂was sat reading the description thinking he’s got himself some bit of kit Welger know how to make balers and all they’ve done is change the badge. Fair play to the dealer aswell I’d be taking that man who organised that for a pub dinner at the end of the season. Best of luck with bouncing back and hope you find good quality replacements for both bits of kit those things happen to the best of us

    Sorry to hear that . Must be sickening to happen especially to your own first baler that set you going . Anyhow . Shit happens.
    Since your insured I’d say your grand . What dye think will fill the Renaults spot?

      Thanks, something as similar to it as we can find I hope. Breens is the dealer we bought the Renault from and they have found us something similar already. Between Whelan's for the baler and Breens for a tractor, the dealers around us have been very good in this situation.

      That's the line everybody has for me 😅 I know it's very true but even still, what happened was still a huge downer. Try rebuild I suppose, not much else I can do other than give up the machinery altogether.

      I'd only maybe 700 made. I won't do 1300 bales a year. I thought the baler would last me a lifetime, it didn't even see out a season. I'll buy another one. It's covered by insurance. Massey ferguson again. I was happy with what I had.
