2024 Vermeer® Bale Wrappers SBW8500

Wrapping large, high-moisture bales in individually-sealed, high-nutrition packages is no small task. Unless you have a bale wrapper that’s built for the job. The SBW8500 single bale wrapper features smart technology and a rugged frame to handle 5.2-ft x 5-ft (1.6-m x 1.5-m) bales up to 3,300 lb (1,496.9 kg). Sound impressive? You’ll be even more impressed with the ease of use.

Features may include:

• A new in-cab electronic control system features a color touchscreen that provides an automated wrapping process and access to real-time field statistics.

• Ground bracing helps steady the load while the bale discharge system pivots up to cradle the bale and releases it at a low drop point which minimizes damage to the package.

• A durable loading arm guides and positions the bale gently onto the wrapping table. While wrapping, the SBW8500 can carry a second bale on the loading arm during the wrapping process for increased operating efficiency. The loading arm can then be quickly folded for transport.

• As soon as the wrapping table tips backward, the active bale discharge system is triggered. As the finished bale is being lowered to the ground, a cut-start system neatly slices the film and secures it for the start of the next wrapping cycle.

• The ability to store three rolls of plastic film on the machine allows the operator to be productive and stay in the field while it is time to wrap. The storage stays clear of machine operation but provides easy access when it is time to reload.
