Anderson Group Round Bale Wrapper IFX720 – Operator's Guide 25
5 Common adjustments
To create a bale tube that works for your bales and
wrapping preferences, you will need to make various
adjustments. These adjustments can be modified at any
time during the wrapping process to adapt the wrapper to
fit your needs. You can adjust the following components:
l
Bale size (bale guides)
l
Roller guide
l
Adjusting the pusher return (end of pushing)
l
Hoop starting point
l
Push rod height
l
Bale tube compression
l
Number of plastic layers
5.1 Bale size (bale guides)
The bale guides keep your bales aligned properly during
the pushing cycle. Adjust the bale guides to the size of the
bales to be wrapped.
1. Lift the locks on the ends of the bale guides.
Figure 23 — Adjusting the Bale Guides
2. Place the bale guides in the appropriate position
for the diameter of bales you are wrapping. Use
the outer position for larger bales (1.7 m), the
centre position for medium bales and the inside
position for smaller bales (1.2 m).
Place both bale guides in the same
position.

3. Put the locks back on the ends in the correct
positions.
5.2 Roller guide
Guide rollers guide the wrapped bales as they leave the
wrapper. Generally, the guide rollers are adjusted to be as
close together as possible. The bale tube will thus exit the
wrapper as tight and centred as possible. Both guides
should be adjusted to the same position on each side of
the wrapper.
If the bale tube has a larger diameter, you can increase the
distance between the two guide rollers to leave more space
for the bale tube to move. The two guide rollers can also
be put in different positions. This can be necessary when
the wrapper is on uneven ground, for example.
Ensure that the bale tube does not
rub against the wheels. This would
cause damage to the wrapper.
To adjust the guide rollers:
1. Remove the cotter pin that holds the guide roller
in place.

2. Place the roller in the desired position and put the
pin back in to hold the roller in place.
3. If needed, repeat for the other guide roller.
