2. Introduction
Tanco Autowrap Ltd congratulates you on your choice of the TANCO AUTOWRAP 1400 bale wrapping
machine. We are certain you will be satisfied with the machine, and that you will have the pleasure of your
investment for many years.
The TANCO AUTOWRAP 1400 is an efficient, high capacity bale wrapping machine. Its low centre of
gravity and unique split table design ensures that power consumption is kept to a minimum without
compromising output; this is a patented system.
This machine is hydraulically driven by the tractor’s hydraulic system and is controlled from the tractor
cab by an automatic control unit. The machine is trailed directly behind the tractor for transport and offset
to the right for working in the field. It loads the bale on the wrapping table in the same direction as it is
discharged from the baler. The wrapped bale can be either dropped conventionally to the ground or with
the fitting of an optional ‘End Tip Ramp’ the bale can be dropped on its end.
TANCO AUTOWRAP 1400 is designed to wrap bales of grass, hay or straw, with nominal diameter of
1.1 - 1.5m, and weights up to (1400kg). The machine was developed and has been improved since it’s
beginning in 2008, and is now a very reliable and safe machine with high security built in.
This manual is meant to explain how TANCO AUTOWRAP 1400 is setup, attached to tractor, used and how
it works, and shall together with the spare part's list be a reference for maintenance and troubleshooting.
