Polish baler launched

Made in Poland, the new Unia fixed chamber baler has come on the Irish market at €25,000 (excluding VAT).

Marketed by McHale Plant Sales of Birdhill, Co Tipperary, the DF1.8Dd roller baler is designed for grass, hay and straw, with a PTO power demand of 70-90hp. It delivers a 1.2 metres diameter bale from a cylindrical winding chamber comprising 17 rollers supported on maintenance-free bearings.

It has two rows of feeder tines, a 14-knife cutting system that can be lowered hydraulically to the neutral position, an automatic chain and gears lubrication system, and a remotely-operated pilot box that controls all operations, which includes a ‘chamber full’ alert and bale counter.
