Confidence with a new operator
Keith Brown said the system made it possible to put a novice on the job while retaining confidence that bale weights were about right. He also described the equipment as well designed and durable.

“One of the biggest benefits we've seen is increasing the weight of hay on the lorry by 4.5 tonnes per load. This has had a direct financial impact, saving us £500-£550 per load.”Tim R - customer testimonial published by Weighay
The customer also reported that the system paid for itself in 14-15 loads within the first year. Actual results depend on crop, bale target, calibration, prices, operating conditions and equipment setup.
In the cab
Useful information for experienced and newer operators.
Clear setup and useful feedback
Adam Marsh reported straightforward installation and calibration, a clear Fendt display and useful information for the driver.
Visible trends, earlier decisions
Live and averaged weights give the operator information while baling, reducing reliance on occasional manual checks alone.
Beyond the number
Consistency can improve the whole handling process.
Adam Marsh also reported that packs appeared squarer at the corners and less fluffy after using Weighay. That observation is presented as a customer experience rather than a guaranteed outcome.
Measure
Every bale is weighed multiple times after leaving the chamber, giving the system a continuous source of weight information.
Respond
The controller can adjust hydraulic pressure as conditions change, helping the operation work towards the target average.
