McHale 998 High Speed
The McHale 998 High Output Square Bale Wrapper sets the benchmark for efficiency and reliability in square bale wrapping. Engineered for farmers and contractors who demand high output, consistent bale protection, and simple operation, this wrapper combines precision engineering with robust components to maximise performance in all conditions.
With design features like a fully automatic electronic control system, load-sensing PTO driven hydraulics, and patented oscillating rollers that deliver even wrap application and consistent overlap, the McHale 998 High Speed ensures high-quality silage preservation every time.
The McHale 998 High Speed also comes as standard with an Adjustable Maximum Speed Setting. This allows the operator to set the speed at which they wish to work at depending on the bale size and quality of film being used. By choosing a setting on the control console, the operator can select a speed from 25rpm up to approximately 40rpm.
The 998 High Speec square bale wrapper can:
- Load one square bale onto the front conveyor
- Move a second square bale from the front conveyor into the wrapping position
- Eject the last wrapped square bale off the back of the 998 square bale wrapper.
The 998 High Speed square bale wrapper is packed with features including conveyor loading and fast positioning of the square bale into the bale wrapping position, hydraulically operated cut and tie system, auto square bale levelling and a two point linkage mounted swivel head-stock. The 998 wraps all sizes of square bale from 80cm x 60cm to 160cm x 120cm including double square bales.
The in-cab control unit enables the operator to change square bale sizes and select the desired number of film layers to be applied by the square bale wrapper. When set, one touch of the auto start button operates the complete cycle from start to finish.
The patented roller angle-measuring device on the 998 High Speed square bale wrapper measures the corners of the bale and, through this, determines the correct number of satellite rotations. This patented system ensures a consistent and even bale wrapping cycle, where the required overlap is acheived regardless of the square bale size or shape.
The 998 operator can also select extra care wrapping, which makes the McHale 998 High Speed square bale wrapper apply additional plastic on the corners of the bale.
