F5400 - Non Chopper Fixed Chamber Baler
Over the last decade the McHale range of balers have been operating in over 5 continents in some of the world’s most difficult conditions. McHale balers have developed a reputation for providing high output, excellent reliability, operator comfort and top resale value.
The F5000 range of balers brings baling to a new level with features like progressive greasing and oiling, our drop floor unblocking system which combined with our high specification components, ensures long life, reliability and a machine that is rugged enough to handle the toughest of crops and ground conditions.
Overview
The McHale F5400 is a semi-automatic, non-chopper Fixed Chamber Baler, equipped with a star shaped feed rotor to quickly and efficiently move crop from the pick-up into the bale chamber, maximising baler throughput and performance. Central grease blocks are fitted on the machine for greasing, whilst oiling is controlled through the continuous oiling system. The F5400 is also equipped with a Wizard Control Box. The machine is fitted with 13.5/7.5/430.9 tyres as standard.

FEATURES
Pick-Up
Over the last decade, McHale has designed and developed various types of pick-ups. After extensive testing, McHale decided it will offer customers the choice of 2 pick-up options depending on their working conditions:
Heavy-Duty Pick-Up
The specially designed McHale pick-up is positioned close to the rotor to improve delivery of the crop through the rotor to the bale chamber. Large diameter lateral feed augers help direct crop to the bale chamber ensuring a consistent and even crop flow for producing high density bales.
Adaptive Intake
Over the course of a baling season, machines have to work with different volumes of crop. McHale have designed an adaptive intake which allows the intake area to automatically adjust for light and heavy crops to facilitate a smooth crop flow into the chamber.
Split Drive GearBox
A 540rpm Split Drive Gearbox is fitted to all machines in the McHale Fixed Chamber Range as standard. The gearbox design ensures that power is evenly distributed to both sides of the machine.
Rotor
The star shaped twin feeder feed rotor ensures a high-capacity flow of crop into the bale chamber. McHale have designed three rotors for the Fixed Chamber Baler Range:
Drop Floor Unblocking
For over a decade, all machines in the fixed chamber baler range are fitted with the McHale Drop floor unblocking system, a feature which operators have come to love for it’s simplicity of use and effective unblocking cycle.
Bale Chamber
The bale chamber on the McHale F5400 is comprised of an 18 roller bale chamber. It has a diameter of 1.23m x 1.25m (4′ ½” x 4′ 1¼”) and is formed from heavy duty rollers.
Oiling and Greasing
The McHale fixed chamber range of balers are all fitted with a continuous oiling system. Once the PTO is engaged, the continuous oiling system constantly lubricates the chains to ensure a long lifetime. A lube alarm sounds after 300 bales to inform the operator to refill the oil tank.
Vario Stretch Net System
A high performance netter has been designed and developed for the F5000 fixed chamber range. The net tension can be simply adjusted on a variable pulley on the right hand side of the machine.
Net Loading & Storage
Net loading has been optimised on the F5000 baler range by the simple yet very effective rock and roll net loading system.
Wizard Control Console
The F5400 is equipped with a Wizard control box containing all the functionality required to operate the machine.
