Self loading is not recommended where an extension has
been fitted to a standard tailgate.
10.2 Self Loading
If the machine is trailed make sure the drawbar is securely
attached to the tractor as self loading may cause it to lift.
For large rectangular bales, place the bale on the ground
with one end against a solid object. For easy removal of
the strings place the bale on its side so that the strings are
not in contact with the ground. In the case of Quadrant
bales, place the bale with the knots on the top. Reverse
the machine with the tailgate lowered until the bale slides
up the tailgate into the bale chamber. Raise the tailgate
until it is horizontal and engage the bed chain to move the
bale fully onto the tailgate.
Make sure that the bale is not forced against the
crossbeater(s) as this may cause problems when starting
the machine.
Before removing the strings, position the posts on the
tailgate to allow the chain to be placed around the rear of
the bale to prevent material falling out. The strings should
now be removed.
To load round bales, reverse the machine under the bale
so that the bale rests on the tailgate. Lift the tailgate slightly
and drive forward a short distance before raising the
tailgate horizontal. With the bale on the tailgate cut the
strings or netwrap on the machine side of the bale as low
as possible and remove around the top of the bale. Rope
hooks are positioned on the underside of the tailgate to tie
partially removed twine and netwrap to. Raise the tailgate,
the bale will roll into the machine leaving the twine or
netwrap tied to the tailgate allowing easy removal.
An additional round bale can be loaded and carried on the
tailgate.
10.3 Multiple Bale Loads
IMPORTANT.
The Tomahawk 1010 is a large machine
designed to carry several bales in a load. To maximise the
carrying capacity of the machine it is recommended that
the telescopic tailgate be extended as shown in Figure 3.
A suitable mechanical loader should now be used for
loading. The machine is now capable of handling two large
rectangular bales 1.2m x 1.3m x 2.7m or three 2m round
bales as shown in Figure 4.

10.4 Bale Lift
Figure 5. Bale lift use
In certain territories (not UK) the Tomahawk 1010 is
available with a bale lift in the body of the machine to
permit a portion of the load to be lifted from the bed chain.
This can be advantageous in reducing the amount of
material presented to the crossbeaters ensuring smooth
discharge. Operation of the bale lift is by means of the
chute selection buttons on the bottom right of the control
desk. When fitted, the feature should be used as shown in
Figure 5 .
10.5 Clamp Silage
When loading clamp silage, lower the tailgate slightly to
increase body capacity. The hydraulic oil pressure
required to rotate the bed chain will be determined by the
quantity of silage loaded. The bed chain motor requires
operating pressures of 120 bar (1750 psi.) when the body
is filled with clamp silage.
