What to do if I have issues with bale quality/density in McHale Farm Equipment?
- T
  Tamara KellerAug 19, 2025
  If you're experiencing issues with bale quality or density when using your McHale Farm Equipment, there are a few potential causes. The density may be set too low for the current crop conditions, so try increasing it. Also, check for any crop buildup at the tailgate's lower closing point and clean it away. Reducing your ground speed will also allow the machine to pack the bale more effectively.

  If your McHale Farm Equipment's PTO slip clutch is activating frequently, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the rotor chain is loose and tighten it as needed. Ensure your swath preparation aligns with the machine setup recommendations. Examine the knives for bluntness and sharpen them if necessary. Finally, reduce chamber pressure or ground speed if they are too high.

  If your McHale Farm Equipment is using more horsepower than expected, it might be because the knives in the chopper unit are dull, or the bale density is set too high. To resolve this, remove the knives, sharpen them, and then replace them.

  If the knives on your McHale Farm Equipment are not staying up while chopping, it could be due to blunt knives or broken roll pins in the knife activator arms. Try removing the knives and sharpening them. If that doesn't solve the issue, replace any broken roll pins.

What to do if McHale Farm Equipment machine won’t cut the net?
- D
  David MorganAug 28, 2025
  If your McHale Farm Equipment isn’t cutting the net correctly, there are several possible reasons. The bill hook might be worn and catching on the plastic reset bushing, in which case you should replace it. Alternatively, the bill hook might have too much free play and be catching on the plastic reset bushing, so try realigning it. Finally, the knife might be jammed or lack sufficient spring pressure; check for free movement and increase spring pressure if needed.

Why is the net not cut correctly in McHale Farm Equipment?

  Brian ButlerAug 30, 2025
  If the net is not being cut correctly by your McHale Farm Equipment, the knife may be blunt or rusty. Try fitting a new knife. If the knife has grease on it (especially on a new machine or after winter storage), carefully clean the grease off, using protective clothing. Also, the knife spring might be too slack; adjust the knife spring pressure, which is located behind the netter drive gears.

Why is the pick up slip clutch going off easily on my McHale Farm Equipment?
- N
  Nicole WeberSep 1, 2025
  If the pick-up slip clutch on your McHale Farm Equipment is activating too easily, it may be because the pick-up is set too close to the ground. Adjust the pick-up to a higher position to prevent the tines from catching on the ground. Also, check if the pick-up chains are loose and tighten them.

What causes knife pressure to be too high in McHale Farm Equipment?

  David BrownSep 7, 2025
  If the knife pressure on your McHale Farm Equipment is too high, it might be because the knives have been raised to the maximum pressure. Lower the knives and then raise them again to set them at the correct pressure. If the issue continues, there may be a faulty hydraulic valve, and you should contact a McHale dealer.
