Overview

998 - Square Bale Wrappe

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 through the use of quality components, precision engineering and our patented oscillating rollers and patented roller angle measuring system.

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 two point linkage mounted swivel headstock.

It is equipped with two patents;

  1. Patented Oscillating Rollers – These cradle the bale during wrapping and steadily rotate the bale to ensure a uniform and correct overlap.
  2. Patented Roller Angles Measuring System – This ensure a consistent and even wrap regardless of square bale size or shape.
