Plastic Wrapper For Small Bales

Plastic Wrapper For Small Bales BALERS Balers If you make high quality small bales for niche markets you will love the Tawi 200 from Gebr Knoll The Tawi is a trailing single axle wrapper for small square bales It makes a neat package that customers can transport in their car The unit can wrap up to 75 square bales per hour The loading platform picks up and holds up to three bales at once One is retained in a loading arm position while the current bale is being wrapped A double table system holds and simultaneously rotates the bale while two opposing arms wrap plastic around the bale Sensors on the Tawi 200 communicate with a computer control box in the tractor cab The operator can set the number of wraps desired European users suggest as few as 4 wraps for soft grassy hay while coarser hay requires more wraps to prevent stems from breaking through the plastic The Tawi 200 comes in three models The 200 basic $32 906 unloads the wrapped bale to the side of the machine The 200A $35 544 unloads the bale to the rear for loading with a grapple The 200V $46 096 includes a bale accumulator that drops three bales at a time to the rear for faster pickup Independent hydraulic systems are available for the Tawi 200 and 200A for an additional $4 286 included with the 200V The company also has a prototype of a new model that combines a Tawi 200 bale wrapper and a small square baler in a single machine Jan Knoll Gebr Knoll says the new machine can bale and wrap up to 100 bales an hour We will have a few of them out for testing by European farmers in 2011 with full introduction the following year We estimate the price will be around $105 500 says Knoll adding that the company s machines are not yet on the market in North America Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Gebr Knoll Oude Rijksweg 525a 7954 GL Rouveen Netherlands ph 011 31 522-291377; info@gebrknoll nl; www gebrknoll nl
