1.3 Baler Intended Use
The Z562 baler is designed for picking up the material raked into windrows by rolling
them into bales of hay with a humidity of up to 20%, and green fodder with a humidity of up to
60%, and straw.
All the working actions must be by one person - the operator seated in the tractor cab.
Using the baler for any purpose other than that designated shall be considered contrary
to the intended use. Metal-Fach shall have no responsibility for damage caused to persons or
animals, or for any other damage resulting from the improper use of the machine.

The front section of the baler features the pick-up (5) which collects the windrows. It
works in conjunction with the collector (6) which directs the picked-up windrow onto the rolling
rollers (7), where compaction and rolling takes place. The activity of picking up the windrow,
rolling and unloading bales is shown in Figure 25. Achieving a pre-set degree of compaction
is signalled by the digital control (13) when it indicates the red area, and an acoustic signal on
the control panel (10) in the operator's cab. After the pre-set compaction degree is achieved,
the twine-binding unit (8) ties the bale with twine. For net bale binding applications, you must
activate this process manually in the control panel (10).
The baler coupling with the tractor is achieved by means of the drawbar (1), PTOFF
shaft (2) and hydraulic hoses (3). The support foot (4) is used for supporting the machine in
the stationary position, and for coupling and detaching the machine from the tractor. The baler
is fitted with ground wheels (11) for riding behind the tractor.
