The 998 is a unique square bale wrapper, with the ability to move three bales at one time through its conveyor system. It can:

  • Eject the last wrapped square bale off the back

The 998 square bale wrapper is packed with features including conveyor loading and fast positioning of the square bale into the bale wrapping position, hydraulically operated cut and tie system, auto square bale levelling and a two point linkage mounted swivel head-stock. The 998 wraps all sizes of square bale, from 80cm x 70cm to 160cm x 120cm, including double square bales.

The in-cab control unit enables the operator to change square bale sizes and select the desired number of film layers to be applied by the square bale wrapper. When set, one touch of the auto start button operates the complete cycle from start to finish. The patented roller angle-measuring device on the 998 square bale wrapper measures the corners of the bale and through this determines the correct number of satellite rotations. This patented system ensures a consistent and even bale wrapping cycle where the required overlap is achieved, regardless of the square bale size or shape. The operator can also select extra care wrapping, which makes the McHale 998 square bale wrapper apply additional plastic on the corners of the bale.
