2022 McHale Square Bale Wrappers 998

The McHale Square Bale Wrapper range has been designed with the demands of today’s farmer and contractor in mind. This common-sense approach to design ensures that each machine’s operation is kept simple and user friendly, while delivering the highest output and reliability. The common-sense and practical design on the McHale 998 square bale wrapper range uses quality components and precision engineering to design patents such as the patented oscillating rollers and patented roller angle measuring system.

The McHale 998 square bale wrapper range is known worldwide for its reliability, heavy-duty design and high output. Designed to provide greater operator comfort and flexibility whilst maximising output and reducing maintenance intervals, the McHale 998 range has become renowned and respected worldwide for bringing square bale wrapping to a new level.

The 998 SQUARE BALE WRAPPER is a high-output machine packed with features including a fully integrated, PTO driven, load sensing hydraulics system, conveyor loading with fast positioning of the square bale into the bale wrapping position, hydraulically operated cut & tie system, auto square bale levelling and a twopoint linkage mounted swivel headstock.

It is equipped with two patents; the Patented Oscillating Rollers cradle the bale during wrapping and steadily rotate the bale to ensure a uniform and correct overlap. The 998 also features a Patented Roller Angles Measuring System which gives a consistent and even wrap regardless of square bale size or shape.

The 998 wraps all sizes of square bales from 80cm x 60cm (2’8" x 2') up to 120cm x 160cm (4' x 5' 3") including double square bales, two bales measuring 120cm x 70cm (4' x 2’4") in size.

Features may include:

• The front-loading conveyor on the 998 square bale wrapper range allows for effortless square bale loading. This system allows for 3 bales to be moved together. As one bale is being unloaded at the rear of the machine, the next bale is being transported from the front of the machine onto the conveyor. The conveyor can also be used to pick the third bale and carry it as the machine finishes the wrapping process.

• If the operator wishes to do so, the Auto Load function can be activated which will enable the bale to be automatically loaded onto the conveyor once detected by the sensor. This allows the operator to simply drive the tractor without having to worry about operating the machine.

• The 998 square bale wrapper range features a patented roller angle measuring and levelling system, which gives a consistent and even wrap regardless of square bale size or shape. The patented roller angle measuring and levelling system allows for extra care wrapping.

• When the extra care program is selected in the control box, bale rotation is slowed down at the corners of the bale and additional plastic is applied which ensures good quality square bales are produced. This careful wrapping program ensures even odd shaped bales can be wrapped at eight predetermined points.

• The patented oscillating rollers on the 998 square bale wrapper range cradle the bale between the rollers as it is being wrapped. The oscillating rollers rotate the square bale at a uniform pace ensuring that the square bale receives the correct and even overlap, which ensures a tight seal and a high-quality finished square bale of crop.
