The V8 variable chamber round baler range has been designed with the demands of today’s farmer and contractor in mind. The McHale V8950 is a semi-automatic variable chamber baler fitted with a 15 knife chopper unit and heavy-duty rotor. It is equipped with a double drive system which allows the machine to operate in the toughest of conditions and aids belt rotation and bale formation. This baler comes with centralised grease blocks as standard. Automatic greasing is available as an option on all V8950 machines. The net and bale density can be adjusted from the cab through the Expert Plus control console. This baler is fitted with 500/50-22.5 tyres as standard

15 Knife Chopper Feed Rotor
The McHale V8950-II is equipped with a 15-knife chopper unit and rotor. As crop enters the spiral rotor, pairs of rotating flights feed the crop through the chopping unit. The double flights on the rotor ensure high output, while the spiral layout reduces the load peaks as the machine works in heavy swaths. The rotor design encourages a uniform crop flow, which reduces the risk of blockages, thus maximising output. With all 15 knifes engaged, a theoretical chop length of 65mm is delivered. Knifes can be engaged and disengaged from the cab.
2.1m Profi-Flo Pick-Up
The 2.1m camless pick-up runs smoothly, particularly in short crop, and requires less maintenance due to a reduced number of rotating parts. All camless pick-ups in the McHale variable chamber baler range are fitted with six tine bars to provide excellent ground cleaning and fast delivery of crop to the rotor.
Bale Shape Assist Indicators
All machines in the McHale V8 variable chamber baler range are fitted with load sensing bale shape assist indicators that directly measure the bale pressure inside the chamber. By comparing the loading on each side of the chamber, the bale shape is calculated and then indicated to the operator via the control console, which side of the chamber needs to be filled. This direct measuring of the chamber pressure allows the bale shape indicators to be extremely accurate and responsive.
