This ensures that any material which tries to get into the back of the rollers is automatically threaded out.

Wizard control box

The F5400 is equipped with a Wizard control box containing all the functionality required to operate the machine. The control box displays job and machine totals, a net feed and delay functions and also has a lube count alarm to remind the operator to check the oil levels and to grease the machine.

Drop floor

The McHale F5400 non chopper round baler is designed to achieve maximum output, however as baling conditions are not always ideal, uneven swarths can occur, which can lead to blockages. The main drive chain is protected by a slip clutch on the PTO.

Should a blockage occur, the sound of the slip clutch alerts the operator who can hydraulically lower the floor from the tractor cab. This widens the feed channel, on re-engaging the PTO the blockage will be fed through. The floor can then be reset and baling can resume.

Split Drive Gearbox

On the McHale F5400 Non Chopper Round Baler, the left hand side of the gearbox drives the rollers in the bale chamber, while the pick up and feed rotor are driven from the right hand side of the machine. This system ensures direct short transfer paths and optimal power distribution.

Feed rotor

The star shaped feed rotor fitted behind the pick up on the F5400 round baler ensures a high capacity flow of grass into the bale chamber. As crop enters the rotor, rotating tines feed the crop through to the bale chamber. The tines on the rotor ensure high output while the star layout reduces the load peaks as the F5400 round baler works in heavy swaths.

Net loading & storage

Net loading has been optimized on the F5000 baler range by the simple yet very effective rock and roll net loading system. The operator simply releases the straps on the spare roll of net on the machine platform and rocks the net roll from its storage position over the lip in the platform and rolls it into the net box. Storage for an extra roll of net is provided on the baler platform.

Pick up

The McHale F5400 non-chopper round baler is equipped with a 2.1 meter galvanized pick up that lifts even the shortest of crop. Accurate height control can be achieved through a spring balanced hydraulic lifting system. The F5400 non chopper baler comes standard with pneumatic guide wheels, which contact the ground on exactly the same line as the tines and guide the pick up perfectly over uneven ground.

The pick up on the F5400 non-chopper baler is fitted with lateral feed augers that smoothly guide the crop into the chopping unit. The pick up features

  • Five rows of tines
  • Double raced cam bearings
  • Slip clutch protection
  • Cam side inspection port for checking/ changing pick up bearings

A crop compression roller is also available as an optional extra on the McHale F5400 round baler. This roller evens out lumps in the swath and minimizes the risk of blockages when working in heavy swaths.

bale chamber / chamber bearings

The bale chamber on the McHale F5400 round baler produces a 1.23 X 1.25 meter round bale. The bale chamber on the F5400 round baler is comprised of 18 heavy duty rollers.

The 18 rollers in the bale chamber of the F5400 round baler are made from high-grade tubular steel for maximum strength, while roller design ensures maximum traction. The roller ends are fitted with heavy-duty 50mm shafts on the drive and non-drive side.

The rollers on the McHale F5400 round baler are fitted with 50mm bearings on the drive and non-drive side. Drive side rollers, which experience the most load, are fitted with double raced bearings.

vario stretch net system

A new high performance netter has been designed and developed for the F5000 range.

 
The net tension can be simply adjusted on a variable pulley on the right hand side of the machine and a decal displays the various settings that can be achieved using the system, depending on the net quality being used. This netter is very reliable and features:

  • Endless adjustment of tension to ensure optimum net usage and bale shape.
  • Capacity to take rolls of net wrap up to 1300mm.
  • 180-degree wrap around on the rubber feed roller, eliminating any net slippage while feeding.

The McHale F5500 is a 15 knife chopper baler. It has automatic progressive greasing and has a Wizard PLUS control box. Net and bale density can be adjusted on the machine. The machine is fitted with 500/50-17 tires as standard.

The McHale F5600 is a 25 knife chopper baler fitted with a servo operated load sensing control valve, which makes the baling process fully automatic.

Film Binding Technology

  • The plastic, which is applied to the barrel of the bale forms an additional layer of wrap across the largest surface of the bale, whilst also binding the bale together.
  • The film which is applied to the barrel of the bale can be stretched to approximately 20%, a higher ratio than what can be achieved with net wrap. This additional layer of film on the barrel of the bale provides higher quality silage as the film can be stretched more than net. This in turn, expels more air, resulting in better silage quality.
  • By using film to bind the bale together, recycling is made easier as the farmer is only left with one form of waste to recycle and can avoid the unpleasant and time consuming job of separating net from the plastic.
