7.7 Specific instructions for bale handler models
1.
The creel should be raised before loading bales.
2. Round bales should always be loaded in the centre
of the machine to allow for the maximum agitation of the
paddles.
3. The bale should be gently lowered in the centre of the machine
onto the tines. The bale handler will then begin its cutting action, with the tines/rings
working in conjunction with the top knife, body blades and six paddles to evenly chop
the bale material in a timely manner. The bale should be chopped evenly throughout
this process, which will keep large lumps of the bale from entering the mixer at any time.
This will result in a better mix quality and more even chopping action.
4. After the bale has been fully chopped and enters the machine, the next bale can be
added to the mix in the same manner.
5.
The standard chopping times for different materials of round 4’ x 4’ (120 cm) bales are
as follows:
Bale:
Time:
Straw 6
–8 minutes (140 kg)
Hay 4
–6 minutes (300 kg)
Wet silage (up to 20% DM) 2
–4 minutes (700 kg)
Dry silage (20
–30% DM)
4
–5 minutes (500 kg)
Very dry silage (over 35%) 4
–6 minutes (400 kg)
Note: Heavy bales must be loaded gently on to the bale handler,
not dropped from a height, as doing so can result in damage.
5. These times are dependent on the bale being loaded in the
correct position and on using the correct loading method, as
described above. These times may vary slightly depending on the
tightness of the bale and the behaviour of the bale as it is
chopped.
6. When loading large square bales, load the bales so the sections
lie across the tines, as this will prevent the sections from falling
through the gap in the tines (see diagram to the right: sections of
large square bale loaded perpendicular to the tines). The easiest
way to do this is to load the bale in two halves on the loader (one
half on each side of the bucket, if wide enough) and flick the
sections out onto the tines. By doing so, the sections will remain
on the tines and rings longer and get a better chop against the
top knife. If loaded incorrectly, the sections will fall through the
tines and will not get chopped, putting additional stress on the
chopping mechanism.
8. To successfully operate the bale handler, the bale should remain on top of the tines long
enough to allow the pre-chopping to take place against the serrated top knife. This will
ensure that further chopping within the mixing chamber is reduced, and though it may
take longer for the bale to be taken in, during this time, the material that has already
been cut from the bale will be processed within the chamber.
