Overview

The McHale F5-540 is a semiautomatic, non-chopper Fixed Chamber Baler, equipped with a star shaped feed rotor to quickly and efficiently move crop from the pick-up into the bale chamber, maximising baler throughput and performance. Central grease blocks are fitted on the machine for greasing, whilst oiling is controlled through the continuous oiling system. The F5-540 is also equipped with a Wizard Control Console. The machine is fitted with 13.5/7.5-430.9 tyres as standard.

Features may include:

Profi-Flo Pick-Up

McHale have created their highest output pick-up for the F5 range. 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.

Pick-Up

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.

Heavy-Duty Pick-Up

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.

Adaptive Intake

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.

Split Drive GearBox

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

Rotor

The star shaped, twin finger feed rotor ensures a high-capacity flow of crop into the bale chamber.

Drop Floor Unblocking

For over a decade, all machines in the fixed chamber baler range are fitted with the McHale Drop Floor Unblocking System, a feature which operators have come to love for it’s simplicity of use and effective unblocking cycle.

Bale Chamber

The bale chamber on the McHale F5-540 is comprised of an 18 roller bale chamber. It has a diameter of 1.23m x 1.25m (4' ½” x 4' 1¼”) and is formed from heavy duty rollers.

Oiling & Greasing

The McHale fixed chamber range of balers are all fitted with a continuous oiling system. Once the PTO is engaged, the continuous oiling system constantly lubricates the chains to ensure a long lifetime. A lube alarm sounds after 300 bales to inform the operator to refill the oil tank.

Dual Feed Netting System

A high performance netter has been designed and developed for the F5-500 range. A Dual Feed Netting System is fitted to all F5-540, F5-550 and F5-560 machines.
