McHale Square Bale Wrapper
 ✖  |
We demonstrated the Irish-built McHale 998 square bale wrapper for the first time in the U.S. at the recent Wisconsin Farm Progress Days near Lancaster, Wis. The machine is equipped with a loading conveyor on front which allows it to load one bale while wrapping another one. Bales are unloaded off the back of the machine and the next bale is then lifted onto the table. If you want you can even use it to load and wrap bales placed two high.
Wrapping bales on-the-go like this makes it a high capacity machine û it can wrap 60 to 80 bales per hour. A control box in the tractor cab allows the operator to change bale size and number of film layers. Once the unit is set, it can be operated from start to finish with a single auto start button. Multiple bale sizes can be wrapped consistently and evenly due to a special roller angle measuring device. It has its own pto-driven hydraulic system so you don't need a real big tractor to pull it û a 100 hp tractor will do.
Sells for about $60,000. (Andy Robson, Lely Corp., Box 1060, Wilson, N.C. 27894 ph 252 291-7050; fax 6183)
