Has anyone experience of using a Mchale static wrapper that will do both square and round bales at the stack. Understand they don’t make them anymore but have the chance to buy one secondhand.

Thanks MGH

995 TSR? I have owned a couple and to be fair it's crap at wrapping round bales as they really don't stay on the wrapper that well unless absolutely perfectly shaped as any tear in netwrap or lumpy, misshapen bales will end up flying off.
Works well for smaller amounts of square bales but you are lucky to break into the early 30's an hour as these wrappers are slow compared to twin spool machines and they won't wrap as long a bale as a McHale 998. Remote controlled versions really benifit from an upgrade to radio remote instead of infra red as the difference is night and day for reception and instant starts. As all McHale kit it's built to last and parts are very reasonably priced

we run one with a power pack on it, very reliable, will do rounds and square equally as well, if rounds are flying of then they cant be very good bales, we work on 30/35 bales per hour, had a big day with it the other day and did just over 400 but that was just after midnight finish, also run a Kuhn 4004 trailed wrapper that will keep up with any baler

It's to do with the width of the rollers are apart as they were set on a narrower setting on my last one for a 80x70 bale compared to a 991 round bale wrapper so the bale is sat very high up.
I personally got so feed up with wrapping rounds on a 995tsr that I bought a 991 and swapped power packs between them which was so much nicer
