They are a very simple machine and the need for a dealer close by should be very small. However McHale should hold it's value longer I would think.

You really dug out the memories.. And have to cut the plastic is well.. And the noise out of the plastic back then compared with now

And not to mention the good men on wrappers back then that took their time doing the job, not so much as a nip on bales after they were done with their end

fortunately most round here now run the fusion with good men on them. a super baler to apply wrap.

things had gotten outta hand with youngsters ripping and tearing through work with the old wrappers leaving work behind with damaged wrap.

2 different contractors here some years back now had Conor wrappers here over the years. not kidding but the field would be littered with short stripes of wrap after them.also seemed to be up and down of tractor to the wrapper quite a bit.
never seen that issue with any mc hale wrapper here.

I was that soldier

Started on one myself. An elho dad put over 100k bales on in a few years.
Were a great wrapper when they first came out

thats whats swaying me towards the McHale to be honest..still not sure if the electric model is worth the €2000 more doe..but i reckon having to hold the joystick constantly while the bale turns on the table would be a bit annoying..especially double wrapping haylage

If you can afford it go for the twin dispenser.

What would the twin dispenser cost? Surely be worth it to go twin roll and joystick to get half the work.

looking in the region of €20k.for the twin dispenser model.to be honest often see a standard bjs enter the field behind a baler and leave quick enough after the baler is done..for the work i would be doing i don't think a high speed would justifiable..the bjs should be faster than the be too..

Is it for own use or contracting. If own would it no pay to wrap in yard

Should be fit to stick with two balers in all but the heaviest crops with a bjs on ordinary plastic. Extra wrap will slow it up a bit

ah right..though i was being pulled up by a confused mod thinking in seeking advice on something other than wrappers..ha ha

lab man

bought a twin despinser here last year 2nd hand 50 k bales on it, found it hard enough to wrap with it when going right youll do some wrapping but if it goes anyway wrong twill break your balls revs on the tractor is the big thing too manyrevs twill pass the sensor then u have to reverse it a bit then tip it manually

Get the sensors checked on it.
Have a fully auto ber here and the sensor on the turntable was out of line and doing the same as yours

The air seat on the tractor ain't working; it has sank to the bottom and the lever that inflates it doesn't work, though it does make a buzzing noise when pressed. From reading past posts on this, it may be a broken wire or compressor issue. If it's a broken wire someplace, then would it make a buzzing noise at all? More likely to be a faulty compressor? Think it's a Grammar make.

yep just a sensor issue there

Get it fixed and it will work like clockwork. It might even be something small like a flake of paint of something effecting it

It may be just the joiner coming from the compressor to the seat

Do the new wrappers limit their table revolutions or do they still just go from the tractor engine speed with an audible alarm for overspeed?

go on speed of hydraulic from tractor but the alarm can be reset to higher number of revolutions per minute
