The variable bale size version of the Fusion baler-wrapper from McHale (Stand B68) will be at Lamma for the first time as the latest model in the Irish company’s integrated baling and wrapping range.

While similar in principle to the fixed bale size Fusion, the Vario version enables farmers and contractors to produce wrapped silage bales from 1m to 1.4m diameter and hay or straw bales from 0.76m to 1.67m. Bale size adjustment is in increments of just 20mm.

The self-adjusting tipping roller ensures that wrap is always applied around the centreline of the bale for correct overlap of layers and all processes on the machine are monitored by sensors and the iTouch control console.
