[QUOTE="v8willy, post: 8006399, member: 56758"] At that time (94~5ish) they were running with rubber pre-stretch rollers, which after a couple of hours were full up with tack & started slipping, having to wash them, at them with a hacksaw blade & anything else to try & keep going, trying everything to get a days wrapping done. We wanted a set of alloy rollers the same as every other wrapper was using. Our rep who was with us from the Volac days (& was going the extra mile for us) tried his best, but in the end after a couple of years of torture told us basically Kevrneland make ploughs & haven't much interest in wrappers. So we got a local man who worked in a foundry to make us a set of alloy rollers which was a gamechanger, Once the rep seen what we had he asked us to get a few more sets made which he sold to other men with the same problem, still have a set here. That was the main problem, but also remember the control box giving bother, the axle bolts snapping often & the roll pin snapping on the table, plus if it was wet I had to hang on the side of it to get them loaded, thankfully I was the baler man. McHale just worked, had a better auto cycle on the tipping. only thing missing on the McHale was the sensor on the loading arm to stop it turning if it's too high. [/QUOTE]
