Description

998 High Speed Square Bale Wrapper

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 McHale 998 High Speed square bale wrapper contains all the features of the standard McHale 998. Through the use of Laser Sensors, the 998 High Speed dispensers can operate at speeds of up to approximately 40rpm. This increase in speed has the ability to deliver 35% more output over a standard 998 based on field test conducted in 2017.

The McHale 998 High Speed also comes as standard with an Adjustable Maximum Speed Setting. This allows the operator to set the speed at which they wish to work at depending on the bale size and quality of film being used. By choosing a setting on the control console, the operator can select a speed from 25rpm up to approximately 40rpm.
