2024 McHale 991B Series BJS

McHale’s round bale wrapper range has been designed with the demands of today’s farmer and contractor in mind. This common-sense approach to design ensures that each machine’s operation is kept simple and user friendly.

Farmers and contractors all over the world are under pressure to reduce costs and increase output. To help with this, McHale concentrate on features like the patented hydraulic ground supported bale damper system, patented high-speed transfer system, patented tip rollers, hydraulically operated cut & hold system, 750mm dispensers and high specification components.

These features ensure long working life, reliability and a machine rugged enough to handle the toughest crops, heaviest bales and roughest ground conditions.

The McHale 991 BJS is a servo joystick machine which uses low pressure hydraulics to provide a smooth controlled transition between functions.This system is often favoured by high-end users as it allows full control over the functions of the machine. Each wrapping function is controlled through a sequence of joystick movements. The servo joystick allows the operator to control the following functions:

• Lift Arm

• Cut & Hold

• Wrapping Table

• Bale Tip

The servo operated system on the 991 BJS uses low-pressure hydraulics, which provides a similar feel to the joystick used in telescopic loaders. On the 991 BJS the wizard control console allows the operator to select the following:

• Set the number of layers to be applied

• Set and monitor the revolutions per minute of the bale wrapping table

• Store two job totals

Features may include:

The patented bale damper system gently lowers the bale to the ground while eliminating any stress on the chassis of the machine.

The 991 BC and BJS lift arms are operated manually. On the 991 BE and High-Speed, the auto lift function places the bale on the wrapping table automatically.

The 991 B range can carry 7 rolls of film: 1 roll (dispenser) + 6 rolls (film storage)

At the end of the wrapping cycle, the hydraulically operated cut & hold system cuts and holds the film in position ready to wrap the next bale.

Automatic film break sensors monitor the plastic as it leaves the dispenser rollers. If plastic breaks or runs out, the machine will notify the operator via the control console.

The McHale lock and load system makes film loading quick and easy by locking the dispenser bobbin up when unloading and locking it back down by simply pulling the cable.

A Shear Bolt protects the gearbox when wrapping poorly shaped bales. All machines are now driven by a heavier gearbox than previous models.

Used on the base level machines, these simple levers control the functions on the wrappers. Used on both the 991 LB and the 991 BC, the levers control the lift arm (991 BC only), wrapping table, cut & hold and bale tip.

The balewrap monitor controls the number of layers of wrap being applied to the bale and keeps track of the number of bales wrapped.
