2022 McHale Fixed Chamber Round Balers F5400

The F5400 non chopper round baler comes standard with the McHale Drop Floor Unblocking System, 50mm Bearings on the bale chamber, heavy-duty chains and a continuous oiling system.

Features may include:

• On the McHale F5400 Non Chopper Round Baler, the left hand side of the gearbox drives the rollers in the bale chamber, while the pick up and feed rotor are driven from the right hand side of the machine. This system ensures direct short transfer paths and optimal power distribution.

• The McHale F5400 non-chopper round baler is equipped with a 2.1 metre galvanised pick up that lifts even the shortest of crop. Accurate height control can be achieved through a spring balanced hydraulic lifting system. The F5400 non chopper baler comes standard with pneumatic guide wheels, which contact the ground on exactly the same line as the tines and guide the pick up perfectly over uneven ground.

• The pick up on the F5400 non-chopper baler is fitted with lateral feed augers that smoothly guide the crop into the chopping unit. The pick up features

• This roller evens out lumps in the swarth and minimises the risk of blockages when working in heavy swarths.

• The star shaped feed rotor fitted behind the pick up on the F5400 round baler ensures a high capacity flow of grass into the bale chamber. As crop enters the rotor, rotating tines feed the crop through to the bale chamber. The tines on the rotor ensure high output while the star layout reduces the load peaks as the F5400 round baler works in heavy swarths.

• The McHale F5400 non chopper round baler is designed to achieve maximum output, however as baling conditions are not always ideal, uneven swarths can occur, which can lead to blockages. The main drive chain is protected by a slip clutch on the PTO.

• Should a blockage occur, the sound of the slip clutch alerts the operator who can hydraulically lower the floor from the tractor cab. This widens the feed channel, on re-engaging the PTO the blockage will be fed through. The floor can then be reset and baling can resume.

• The roller ends are fitted with a McHale-designed reverse thread sealing system. This system protects the bearings; when the roller moves in one direction the thread on the seal moves in the opposite direction. This ensures that any material which tries to get into the back of the rollers is automatically threaded out.

• The drive side of the bale chamber can be greased through a series of easily accessible grease banks. The 50mm bearings on the non drive side can also be greased.
