4.8 Ending the bale tube
The X-Tractor system allows you to finish the tube and
empty the wrapper.
Preparing to finish the bale tube
1. Before putting the last bale on the wrapper, set
the stopper for the pusher to the wrapper's
highest position (Figure 20). The last bale of the
tube will be pushed further than the X-Tractor
system.

2. Put the last bale to be wrapped into the bale bag
and put it on the wrapper, the open end facing
the rear of the wrapper. Allow the automatic cycle
to end. The bale should be at the end of the
pusher (Figure 21).
NOTE: The X- Tractor system can only be used
when the pusher has completely returned
to its home position.
The pusher will only move once the X-
Tractor is completely retracted to its home
position.

3. Raise the engine throttle to run the engine at
maximum speed.
4. Turn the hydraulic brake knob so that it is at the
minimum setting.
5. Be sure that the traction wheels at the front of the
wrapper are straight so that the machine does not
turn during the extraction of the bales.
Make sure that the last bale is not on
the
X- Tractor system before
activating it. The X- Tractor system
can then leave the platform without
hitting the bale. This will prevent
damage to the system cylinder.
Finishing wrapping the bale tube with the X-
Tractor system
Proceed as follows:
1. Activate the pusher cylinder on the X- Tractor
system with the control lever.
2. When the pusher on the X- Tractor system
touches the bale, manually activate the hoop
with the lever to wrap the last bale.
3. Once the last bale is completely wrapped, stop
the X-Tractor system and hoop. Stop the hoop
when the stretcher is level with or slightly above
the safety guard so you can easily cut the plastic
film.
4. Cut the plastic film on each stretcher at the plastic
watch. This will prevent you from having to feed
