McHale F5500 Baler
84
In the case of wider swaths, i.e. >1.5 m; this size of windrow should be avoided, as in
this case a greater amount of material will continue to be fed to the outside of the baler.
As a result, a greater amount of material will be fed to the outer edges of the bale than
to the centre. This will result in concave-shaped bales.

9.3 Pick-up reel height adjustment
Before working in the field secure the pick-up guide wheels, in their operating position,
as shown. Use the appropriate hole in the adjusting bar so that the pick-up is balanced
and at the optimum working height with the pick-up tines being 2 cm above the ground.
Pick-up reel height adjustment
NOTE: Ensure the spool control lever is in the float position
When baling with this machine ensure that the control lever for the spool
operating the pick-up reel height adjustment is in the float position. If the
lever is not in the float position then the reel will be fixed in a set position
and will be unable to follow the ground contour.
NOTE: Wear and tear of pick-up tines
Working with the pick-up tines set too low will leave them susceptible to
breakage and rapid wear!
