2018 McHale Round Bale Wrappers W2020 - Stacking Bale Wrapper

The McHale W2020 is a high-speed stacking bale wrapper. It is a compact machine, which allows one operator to transport, wrap and stack the bale with one tractor or loader.

The W2020 can wrap a bale with four layers of plastic in approximately 20 seconds and with six layers of plastic in 30 seconds. The W2020 is controlled by an expert plus control box, which makes wrapper operation fully automatic.

Features may include:

• Rear Linkage: The machine can be fitted to the rear linkage of a low horsepower tractor. This is an ideal way to mount the machine where the machine will work in soft ground conditions or on hills. The W2020 provides high speed wrapping capabilities, while keeping machine weight to a minimum and keeping the bale close to the ground for a low centre of gravity and greater stability.

• The McHale W2020 round bale wrapper is fitted with two hydraulically powered wrapping rollers.

• The W2020 stacking round bale wrapper is fitted with two 750mm aluminium dispensers, which are standard on all McHale high-speed round bale wrappers.

• The satellite arms on the W2020 stacking bale wrapper are designed so that at the end of the bale wrapping cycle, one of the dispensers moves from its normal position and folds in toward the second dispenser. When both dispensers come together they move in a uniform movement towards the cut and hold which is located on the headstock of the machine.

• As with all McHale round bale wrappers, the reliability of the cut and hold system is of the utmost importance. The W2020 stacking round bale wrapper collects the film in the cut and tie unit where it is held and then cut. This system ensures better grip and provides more consistent superior performance, particularly in hot or wet conditions.

• The McHale W2020 stacking round bale wrapper is fitted with a lock and load film loading system. When the operator removes the core of the empty film roll, the top roller locks in the open position. When the new roll is loaded the operator simply pulls the cord and the top roller is released and locks down on the new roll.

• Automatic Film Break sensing comes as standard on the W2020 stacking round bale wrapper. This ensures that if one of the rolls of film breaks or runs out, the W2020 will detect this and slow bale rotation and increase the number of revolutions of the satellite to ensure that the bale is wrapped correctly. If both rolls of film break or run out the W2020 stacking round bale wrapper notifies the operator in the cab via the control box that the machine is out of film.
