McHale 998 bale wrapper with New Holland TM190

[flock0fmoosen]

Madness running the pto so fast. We run the same wrapper on a 6630 540pto at 1000 revs if that... doesnt need that fast a oil flow

[pitkakorva]

are all of these machines in your videos yours

[Farmerknowsbest]

@pitkakorva In this particular video no, but the vast majority of my videos are of our own equipment. This is a friends farm.

[MrFarmerD]

@pitkakorva they are my machines the wrapper was a demo that i didn't buy

[Makemyday0126]

Great Machine...and Irish !!!! Nice vid

[vergauwekenp]

The first bale needs at least dubble the layers !! :-s

[rmarkv]

Hate the 998 with passion, had one for a while nothing but a night mare and poor quality silage after!

[sgamble66]

I have a package like this for sale

[georgemx135]

Why have you the Tm running so fast? Idrive a 998 with an MX 110 running 540 in the 1000 speed box at half revs. The pump on the 998 takes very little power, our 80hp 4230 drives it no problem.

[Farmerknowsbest]

@georgemx135 We don't have economy pto's here in North America. So to achieve the proper speed you have to run the engine fast.

[1PHILL1S]

you must have a 1000pto on your tracs to big bale with though so leave it in that and run it at 1100 rpm ish = 540pto speed

[wazza186]

why not run it in 1000 and back the revs off like george said?

[johnsenkenn]

@Farmerknowsbest

What is it you have in the barrel on the front ?.

[MrFarmerD]

@johnsenkenn  i put probiotics on all wrapped hay

[94markfoster]

sum outfit der lad, day both brang new? ow many yokes u have?

[MrFarmerD]

ya there its all new stuff but the tm190 its a 04 with like 3000 hours on it.

[matreid46]

what kind of plastic wrap do you use? it seems to work well

[DFarms001]

That was a very good video thank you for sharing.

Looks like the operator picked up on it pretty quick. Although I really would have thought it would be alot nicer with the duals off.

[MrFarmerD]

the Duals are on for the same reason i have super singles on the baler tractor it is so wet here. if i rut the fields up or compact the ground i have to; A) live with the ruts for 3 more years, or B) i loose the alfalfa under the tire tracks. also i left the duals on so i can line the bale up if i see 20mm between the tire and the bale in my mirror its lined up bang on also that tracto runs a big brush cutter and it needs the duals so i don't flip the tractor and in lazy take them on and off

[johndeer7030]

i love your vids and thats a might fine wraper there

keepup the good work

[stroln]

Why do you wrap the bailes?

[Farmerknowsbest]

The bales are made when the hay is 30% moisture. They would heat and spoil if not wrapped. The bale ferments like silage does and is preserved.

[ThankGodImCountryBoy]

We can preserve the hay at 30% but that is the highest, also the acid would be going on at the high rate and would cost $7 per bale, you have to store them inside and you run the risk of burning down the barn. this year we took out some bales that had ash in the middle. we may think of something like this.

[MrFarmerD]

the hay that was in the tarp shed without the tarp was bailed at 25%. only 196 bales like that and the acid was put at 10L/mt which is $13 per bale and i charge $9.50 to wrap the hay so it more economical to wrap the hay also it rains every two days and you can't make dry hay

[ThankGodImCountryBoy]

ya that is what im saying, you can preserve hay with acid up to 30%. but it is probly a smart idea not to cause it still wont be great hay and it is more expensive.

[MrFarmerD]

ya ok were on the same page

[fuelfarmer]

Enjoyed the clip. That wrapper looks like a monster.

[mx270a]

Sweet. What is the cost of the plastic per bale?

[Farmerknowsbest]

High, 4$ per bale for the plastic, on top of that you need a tractor, the wrapper and a man. All this over and above the cost of making the bale. I don't see this as a good way to make feed but wrapping bales is very popular in this area.

[69rd96]

Now if only most smart farmers would recycle that damn plastic and not pay people like me to bury it...........

[vafaningetnamnledigt]

Smart contractors dont take money to bury plastic like that.....

[Farmerknowsbest]

It isn't the farmers that don't want to recycle Ron. It is the god damned environmentalist nazis that won't let us. The plastic is dirty and they won't take it unless it is pressure washed and then dried. Any hay or dirt on the plastic and they will reject it at the plant. SO STUPID!!!

[togreektown]

I am not a farmer but all that plastic must cost a fortune.

could you not pull that wrapping machine behind the baler or would it be too slow to keep up? it did seem like a good machine but slow.

[dracolyth]

The wrapper could keep up...as it states in the info for the video...the issue is that the wrapper is PTO driven and a tractor can only run one PTO at a time it has to be pulled on its own...and i would imagine operating that monster while baleing would be utter hell

[Farmerknowsbest]

SLOW!?!?!?!?!?!?! OMG, you have obviously never seen a normal wrapper if you think 15 seconds per bale is slow. Most are 2 minutes and you are not driving to the next bale while it is wrapping. This is a very efficient wrapper.

[classharvester]

what the hell happend to the coverall shed in the back at 2;14

[Farmerknowsbest]
