2022 McHale Fixed Chamber Round Balers F5600 Plus

The McHale F5600 PLUS is fitted with a servo operated load sensing control valve, which makes the baling process fully automatic. The machine is also equipped with a 25 knife chopping unit and an in chamber film bale binding system.

Features may include:

• together which eliminates the need for string or net wrap. The film that binds the bale together forms a wrap layer and gives

• better film or plastic coverage on the largest surface of the bale.

• The Advantages

• Chamber Film Acts As A Wrapping Layer

• The plastic which is added to the barrel of the bale to keep the bale together and also forms the individual wrapping layers adds value by placing more plastic on the largest surface of the bale.

• Chamber Film Results In Better Shaped Bales

• When plastic is applied to the barrel of the bale it can be stretched to approximately 20%. The stretch ratio is higher than what can be achieved with net wrap or twine and as a result the material is kept tighter, which ultimately results in better bale shape.

• Chamber Film Delivers Higher Quality Silage

• As the plastic is being stretched, at a high stretch ratio as it is being applied to the barrel of the bale, it expels more air than net wrap would and as a consequence results in better silage quality.

• Chamber Film Makes Recycling Easier

• As plastic is used to both bind the bale in the bale chamber and to wrap the bale, on feed out the farmer will be left with one form of waste. This reduces the time needed to feed the bale and avoids the unpleasant and time consuming job of separating the twine or net wrap from the plastic before the plastic is be recycled.

• In the development of the McHale F5600 Plus, McHale realised that changes in temperature and sun light could affect the chamber wrapping film, in that, as the day got hotter or cooler the film was either being overstretched or under stretched, and this in turn would cause reliability problems and result in inefficient film use.

• As a result McHale developed a patented application system which adjusts the breaking force on the roll of plastic in-line with working conditions and allows for a continuously variable stretch, which can adjust to changes in the day automatically without the operator having to adjust any settings.

• The McHale patent film application system ensures consistent film stretch, reliable film application, delivers optimum bale shape and bale density. Should an operator wish to use netwrap for hay or straw this can be done with a simple adjustment.

• On the McHale F5600 Plus Film Binding Baler, the left hand side of the gearbox drives rollers in the bale chamber, while the pick up and chopper unit are driven from the right hand side of the machine. This system ensures direct short transfer paths and optimal power distribution.

• The McHale F5600 Plus Film Binding Baler is equipped with a 2.1 metre galvanised pick up, which lifts even the shortest of crop. Accurate height control can be achieved through a spring balanced hydraulic lifting system. The F5600 Plus Film Binding 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.
