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.

The TL1100R will wrap round bales up to 6’ in diameter and 5’ long. It will NOT wrap square bales.

• Mount tensioner (B) to tensioner mount with clamps,
Fig.3.2.
• Connect hoses (Fig.3.3)to power unit OR if
equipped with optional powerpack, bolt cooler
assembly (C) to tensioner mount and frame. Check
fuel and hydraulic oil reservoir levels.
• Remove wrapper wiring harness from frame and
connect 3 prong male plug (D) to power source in
tractor, OR for optional TL1100R-AP powerpack
model, attach battery cables to battery terminals.

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.

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.

After setting tractor hydraulic ow rate to 6 GPM,
the wrapper table rotation speed can be further
rened with the ow regulator. To adjust the
wrapper table rotation speed, Loosen the jam nut
(A) with a wrench. Use an allen key to turn the set
screw (B) as needed. Turn clockwise for faster

Section 5: Operating Procedure
The following method dictates how to operate the TL1100R Tubeline Individual Wrapper.
The TL1100R is designed to either wrap bales while mounted to a tractor three point hitch or independently
while sitting on level ground. The TL1100R-A standard model in powered via two hydraulic hoses connected
to a power unit. The optional TL1100R-AP model includes an on-board powerpack, allowing truly independent
one person operation. Both are controlled by remote control and on-board LCD screen.
Plastic lm rolls must be installed to wrap your bales. Note: Use high quality plastic lm only.
Tractor Hookup
Wrap Operation Setup
To hookup the TL1100R to a tractor:
1. Connect 3 point hitch arms to
pins on front of wrapper.
2. Connect hydraulic quick coupler
on end of hose coming from
bottom port on ow regulator to
rear tractor hydraulic outlet port
“Extend”. See Fig.5.2.
3. Connect hydraulic quick coupler
on end of hose coming from
top “T” port on manifold to rear
tractor hydraulic outlet port
“Retract”.
WARNING: Bystanders should always keep a safe
distance from the wrapper during operation.
Choose a at wrapping site, lower the machine to
the ground. Disconnect from 3 point hitch if using a
TL1100R-AP power pack enabled machine.
Unlock the transport spring pin, see Transportation,
pg.5-9 .
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 .
