Tractor Requirements & Preparation
5.1 Tractor requirements
The minimum recommended size of tractor for operating the baler/wrapper comfortably
is largely dependant on the power requirements of the baler. An estimate would be to
use an 80-90 kW model. To operate the wrapper on its own a minimum of 35 kW is
recommended. On hilly ground or difficult conditions, an additional 10 to 15 kw is
advisable.
The following items on the tractor are required for attachment of the bale wrapper to
the tractor:
1. Pin hitch with pin as supplied with tractor
accessories
2. Two ½” female quick releases (feed and
return) for hydraulic power supply
The return line must be freeflow to tank
(check with a McHale dealer for details)
3. One 12 V/ 20 A euro socket or battery
power cable
4. One 12 V/ 7 pin lighting socket
NOTE: Use good quality oil
Ensure that the tractor has clean, good quality oil, hydraulic/universal oil
to avoid problems later on. Also, the hydraulic filters on the tractor should
be changed regularly, according to the manufacturer’s service
instructions. Avoid dirt getting into the hydraulic couplings.
