Trailer Hauls Wrapper To The Field

Trailer Hauls Wrapper To The Field BALE HANDLING Bale Handling 31B The BaleLiner from Tubeline makes bale wrapping fast easy and a one-man job It not only hauls bales to the wrapper it hauls the wrapper to the bales says Paul Horst Tubeline It also has an integrated bale spear for capping end bales with a plastic hood The BaleLiner makes it easy to wrap even a small number of bales in a field and then move on to another field rather than hauling all the bales back to a wrapper he says The wrapper piggybacks on the bale wagon for transit Once the wrapper is unloaded the wagon can pick up and haul up to 8 bales at a time back to the wrapper The BaleLiner pickup arm has an integrated bale spear on its backside Once four backing bales have been loaded the spear is unfolded from the pickup arm The operator then backs into a bale with the spear and raises it for capping with a plastic hood This bale is then loaded followed by three more uncapped bales and the wagon returns to the wrapper To wrap bales the operator simply backs the loaded wagon into the receiving arms of the wrapper The wagon bed raises and lowers hydraulically to first engage the wrapper and then lift it into position to receive bales and drop wrapped bales into line on the ground The wrapper operates off a hydraulic clutch drive on the back end of the wagon As the wagon engages with the wrapper the drives also engage The operator unloads the four backing bales without wrapping and then begins wrapping with the capped end bale explains Horst Once the last three bales have been wrapped the operator disengages from the wrapper and reloads the wagon Before the final capped bale is wrapped the initial four backing bales are retrieved and also wrapped An integrated push-off bar pushes the bales into the wrapper and later pulls the wrapper into piggyback position for transit Once the end capped bale has been wrapped the operator reloads the wrapper on the wagon and moves to the next site says Horst Only one tractor is needed with no supplementary motor or tractor needed for the wrapper Later the same wagon can be used to transport wrapped bales for feeding For higher volume operations multiple wagons can use the same wrapper Wrapping takes only 19 to 20 seconds per bale Horst says the BaleLiner wagon with wrapper will be priced at $49 000 and will be available later this spring Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Tubeline Manufacturing Inc 3928 Steffler Road RR #4 Elmira Ont Canada N3B 2Z3 ph 519 664-0488; toll free 888 856-6613; sales@tubeline ca; www tubeline ca
