McCarthy Contracting first started with a New Holland 650 round baler. Some years later, they still operate New Holland round balers, a NH658 and BR750A with crop cutters and variable chambers producing bales which range in size from 1.2m to 1.8m in diameter.
These balers are ideal for producing high-density bales in either balage, hay or straw. They wrap the bale with net wrap, which gives the bale some protection from the weather if stored outside and is easy to remove for feeding out. Sticking with the New Holland balers, which produce a nicely shaped high density bale, means that the customer receives a product that is the cheapest way of storing baled crop today.
The McHale Fusion intergrated baler wrapper combines two traditionally separate jobs, namely baling and wrapping and intergrates them into a single operation which can be done by one man and one machine. After having a great run with the McHale Fusion 3 baler wrapper, McCarthy Contracting has added the latest Fusion 4 Plus model to their fleet
The Fusion 4 Plus baler is a state-of-the-art agricultural machine designed for high-efficiency baling of various crop types. This baler features advanced technology that optimizes the baling process, ensuring consistent bale density and size while minimizing crop loss. With its user-friendly interface and robust construction, the Fusion 4 Plus is built for durability and ease of use, making it a popular choice among contractors seeking to enhance their productivity. Its ability to handle a wide range of materials, combined with efficient operation, positions the Fusion 4 Plus as a leading solution in modern agricultural practices. The bales stack on their flats which ensures that they are very stable when being transported.
All balers have moisture meters. Two of the balers have Gazeeka microwave moisture meters which constantly read the slab moisture of a bale as it is exiting the baler. If a bale exceeeds the desired moisture content spray cans can mark these bales if required so that they can be left separate from a large stack or shed. The use of microwave technology means that the readings are very accurate. They take into account the dew moisture as well as the stem moisture.
Working alongisde these we have Gazeeka chemical applicators which can inject additive to either aid ensiling as an innoculant or as a dispersing hay additive to allow baling hay at a higher moisture content while still producing a product that is safe from heating.
All these feature mean our square balers offer more than the average baler!
