Mayo-based McHale Engineering was one of a number of Irish exhibitors at the show in Paris earlier this week. The company introduced a new larger C490 model into its existing C4 range of silage feeders and straw blowers.
The new machine has a 6.85m3 loading volume. McHale claims that the machine can handle three 5ft round bales of forage. Overall design is similar to the existing range.
However, the 3m hydraulically driven chain and slat conveyer is split into two.

McHale claims that the machine will discharge material up to 18m
The machine has a twin-speed gearbox, a 1.57m diameter flywheel with six blowing paddles, and a belt-driven rotor which means the system can be hydraulically engaged or disengaged. The feed rotor is equipped with 56 blades mounted on seven discs and runs independent to the flywheel.
The three-stage chute can rotate 300°.

The latest introduction to the C4 range means the series offering rises to four models, beginning with the mounted 2.2m3 C430.
