Suitable Wrapping Timeframe
Use a hard-core baler to make the well-shaped and rm bales necessary for successful wrapping. Bales
are best wrapped as soon as possible after baling. If bales are left unwrapped they will sag and lose shape.
Heating will start soon after baling and protein quality will be lost. It is desirable to wrap within four hours. In an
emergency, the bales can be left 12 to 16 hours.
The Tubeline wrapper makes timely harvest possible by reducing the dependence on the weather. It is much
easier to get to wilt silage than to make dry hay. This also extends the working day, as the correct moisture to
bale extends earlier and later in the day.
For more information visit http://tubeline.ca/silage.php.
Bale Sizes
The TL1000R will wrap round bales up to 6’ in diameter and 5’ long. It will NOT wrap square bales.

WARNING

Balewrapper TL1000R - Section 3: Initial Setup 3-1
Section 3: Initial Setup
• Remove all parts banded and wired to main frame and set aside.
• Remove monitor, wiring harness and manuals from shipping location behind end shield (35090).
• Lift rear of frame and support with a suitable block of wood. (To allow roller wheel installation)
• Remove one roller wheel from shaft and slide into rear frame tube.
• Slide second roller onto shaft and secure with collar and provided bolt (or pin).

3-2 Section 3: Initial Setup - Balewrapper TL1000R
• Install both guide rollers into holders and fasten with lock pin. Guide rollers should be centered on the
frame tube and positioned so that the bale width will t nicely between rollers.
• Slide tensioner mount (35099) all the way into square tube at front of machine and secure with 4 locking
bolts provided.
• Mount lm tensioner to frame with clamps. See parts illustration for proper positioning. For bales less than
5’ in diameter the lower clamp should be below the horizontal frame tube.

Balewrapper TL1000R - Section 3: Initial Setup 3-3
NOTE: Adjust up or down so that the wrap is applied across the mid section of the bale.
• Cut tie straps securing wrapper wiring harness to frame & connect to two prong plug in wiring harness.
• Mount Wrap Computer to suitable location on tractor with mounting hardware provided. Connect 6 pin plug
from computer to wiring harness.
• Connect 3 prong male plug to power source in tractor. If tractor is not equipped with a matching female
plug, one will need to be obtained and installed. Contact your local parts dealer.

Miter Gear Replacement
Fig.4.1
Fig.4.2
NOTE: It is much easier to change the tensioner height
when there are no plastic rolls installed. Use a jack if it is
too di󰀩cult to lift.
1. Turn the top locking handle (A) clockwise to loosen.
2. Loosen the bottom locking handle (B) slowly, just
enough that the tensioner will move.
3. Raise or lower the tensioner (C) so that plastic lm
will be applied to the middle of the bale.
4. Retighten both handles to lock tensioner to its
desired height. (Fig.4.2)
• Remove cover, pulling o󰀨 the silicon seal.
• Remove gears by taking nuts o󰀨 of
upright gear, sliding horizontal driveshaft
towards driveline to allow horizontal bevel
gear to slide o󰀨 shaft.
• Install new miter gear(s) by tightening
nuts on upright gear, then holding
horizontal gear in position while sliding
drive shaft back through it.
• Gears should mesh together so that they
are 2 3/4” from bottom to center and do
not bind. Front faces are 90° to each other. (Fig.4.1)
• Apply gear oil before reattaching shield, making sure to reseal with silicon to avoid contamination and leak.
• Rell grease box with outer grease zerk, checking level by removing cap. Reinsert cap.

Guide Roller Adjustment
Bale guide rollers (B) may need to be adjusted to match bale size. Both guide rollers should be moved the
same distance to keep the bale centered on the turntable rollers.
Roller Chain Adjustment
It is common over time for the main roller chains
to develop slack, resulting in the main rollers not
turning smoothly. To extend the life of the chains
and continue wrapping smoothly, move the idler
sprockets further into the chain to take up the slack.
1. Lift twist lock tabs (A) and remove 35088 -
Chain Cover (B).
2. Loosen the nut (C) of the top and or bottom
idler sprocket assembly.
3. Move the sprocket assembly along its curved
track to tighten, or loosen the roller chains (D).
4. Tighten nut (C) to lock sprocket assembly in its
new position.
5. Replace Chain Cover and fasten with twist lock
tabs.
5. Loosen 4 nuts (C) locking the clamps in
place.
6. Move roller assembly to desired position.
7. Tighten nuts again to lock in new position.

Section 5: Operating Procedure
We suggest the following method of operating the TL1000R Tubeline Wrapper.
Before you start wrapping your bales you will need to attach the wrapper to the 3 point hitch on your tractor.
You will also need to install a plastic lm roll(s) to wrap your bales with.
Tractor Hookup
To hookup the TL1000R to a tractor:
Wrap Operation Setup
1. Connect 3 point hitch arms to
pins on front of wrapper.
2. Connect hydraulic quick
couplers on end of hoses to
rear tractor hydraulic outlet
ports, see Fig.5.2.
3. Connect 3 prong plug wire
harness to power outlet or
adaptor in tractor cab.
4. Set tractor auxiliary hydraulic
ow rate to 6 GPM.
Fig.5.3
WARNING: Bystanders should always keep a safe distance from the wrapper during operation.
Choose a at wrapping site, lower the machine to the ground.
Unlock the transport spring pin, see Transportation,
pg.5-5 .
Adjust the bale guide rollers to the proper position
for the length or width of the bales. Position rollers
so that bale is centered between them. See
Guide
Roller Adjustment, pg.4-2 .

Fig.5.4 Fig.5.5
Balewrapper TL1000R - Section 5: Operating Procedure 5-2
To Install Plastic Wrap Film
1. Raise spring loaded plastic holders.
2. Lift plastic rolls onto lower plastic holders.
3. Guide top of plastic rolls under spring loaded plastic holders.
4. Lift handles to snap spring loaded plastic holders into tops of plastic rolls, this will hold them in place while
in use. (Fig.5.4)
Plastic from the factory has a natural tack on the inside. In the event of the plastic being stored for an extended
period of time the tack may migrate to the opposite side. To test for tacky side fold plastic inside to inside and
pull apart. Fold opposite way (top to top) to determine tackier side.
The rolls of plastic should be installed with the tack on the inside of the plastic lm next to the bale silage.
The plastic then passes over the plastic and smooth aluminum roller and is threaded through the two knurled
aluminum rollers on the Tensioner as shown in the diagram (
Fig.5.6 ). The two knurled aluminum rollers rotate
at di󰀨erent speeds, causing the plastic to be stretched. It is very important that the plastic goes over the slow
roller rst and the faster roll second. If there is any question, which is the faster roller:
Turn one roller by hand and watch the speed of the other roller, this should help you determine which is the
fast and slow roller. When the plastic is installed correctly, it should stretch tight on the bale to form a smooth
wrapped bale. NOTE: Plastic rolls have a 4” overlap to provide better sealing (Fig.5.5).
