Anderson Group Round Bale Wrapper IFX720 – Operator's Guide 20
4 Wrapping the bale tube
This section describes the method recommended by
Anderson Group to wrap a bale tube. The steps you must
follow are:
1. Adjustments
2. Levelling the wrapper
3. Placing the compression bales
4. Putting the first wrapped bale in a bag
5. Wrapping the bale tube
6. Ending the bale tube
This section also describes several tasks that may be
necessary when wrapping the bale tube. You will learn
how to orient the bale tube to avoid obstacles ( section
4.7) and how to wrap a bale tube with only one film roll
when one of the two rolls is empty (section 4.6).
4.1 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.
NOTE: See Chapter 5 to learn how to
make these adjustments.
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
4.2 Levelling the wrapper
Level the wrapper to prevent the first bales placed on the
machine from sliding forward.
To level the wrapper:
1. Start the engine.
2. Level the front of the wrapper using the pivoting
axle.
4.3 Placing the compression bales
For good-quality silage, the bale tube must contain as little
air as possible. When wrapping the first bale in the tube,
use other bales to compress the tube and force the air out
(one bale for bales 1.52 m (5 ft.) in diameter, and two
bales for bales 1.2 m (4 ft.) in diameter). These bales are
not wrapped at the beginning of the cycle. They are
pushed to the ground by the other bales that have been
wrapped. You need to collect them and put them back on
the wrapper so they are included in the tube.
To place your compression bales:
1. Set the control lever for the wrapper speed to 0
(Figure 2) to prevent the hoop from turning.
2. Place the bale on the wrapper platform, being
careful to place it horizontally and aligned with
the pusher. Allow the pusher to return to its home
position, without wrapping the bale. For bales
that are 1.2 m (4 ft.) in diameter, put a second
bale on and let the pusher come back to the
home position (Figure 17) without wrapping the
bale.
NOTE: Each time you put a bale on the trigger
(Figure 1), the pusher starts and the bale
moves forward. These first bales are just
used to compress the upcoming tube. You
will wrap them later.

4.4 Putting the first wrapped bale in a bag
To make sure the bale tube is airtight, the first bale must
first be packed in a bag. To prepare the first bale in the
tube:
1. Slowly lower the front of the machine to the
ground by raising the pivoting axle. Go slowly to
keep the bales that are already in place from
