Offering innovative ideas to allow you to work smarter, whilst achieving more output, the McHale name has become synonymous with the production of robust and reliable machines, making McHale the number one choice for professional users.

The McHale V8960 is a fully automatic machine fitted with a 15-knife chopper unit and heavy-duty rotor. As the highest spec machine in the range, it is ISOBUS compatible with the option of using McHale’s ISO-Play 7 or ISO-Play 12 terminals, to allow the operator to experience the highest level of customisation and machine performance.

The McHale V8960 baler is the latest advancement in the variable chamber baler range from McHale. Expanding on the V8 range which produces a bale from 0.6m (2’) up to 1.9 m (6’3”) . The V8960 is fully automatic to provide the operator with a high output and easy to operate machine. Utilising the latest technology, the operator simply has to pause on the swath while the machine binds the bale with net before automatically opening and closing the chamber door to eject the bale and resume baling.

In designing the McHale V8960 fully automatic baler, user friendliness was at the forefront of the machine’s development. The 60 series is the highest spec machine in the V8 range and provides the operator with the following functionality: Active Density Control, Intelli-Chamber for a faster bale release and Active Bale Kicker

Features may include:

ICC (Intelligent Chamber Control) consists of Active Density, Shape Sense Indicators, Intelli-Chamber and Active Release technology. These features provide higher output and superior comfort for the operator during the baling process.

McHale have created their highest output pick-up for the V8960. The new Profi-Flo pick-up has been designed to increase crop intake through more efficient crop flow and has been engineered to ensure end users are operating with a high-performance pick-up that is designed to suit various working conditions.

Over the last decade, McHale has designed and developed various types of pick-ups. After extensive testing, McHale decided it will offer customers the choice of 2 pick-up options depending on their working conditions.

The specially designed McHale pick-up is positioned close to the rotor to improve delivery of the crop through the rotor to the bale chamber. Large diameter lateral feed augers help direct crop to the bale chamber ensuring a consistent and even crop flow for producing high density bales.

Over the course of a baling season, machines have to work with different volumes of crop. McHale have designed an adaptive intake which allows the intake area to automatically adjust for light and heavy crops to facilitate a smooth crop flow into the chamber.

A 540 rpm Split Drive Gearbox is fitted to all machines in the McHale Variable Chamber Baler Range as standard. The gearbox design ensures that power is evenly distributed to both sides of the machine.
