Advantages to High Moisture Hay
High moisture hay has many advantages over traditional dry hay.
High moisture hay provides:
• Lower harvesting time
• Cuts to feeding costs
• Increases ADG (Average Daily Gain)
• Minimizes storage loss
• Less reliance on favorable weather.

Advantages to Wrapping Bales
Using an in-line bale wrapper to protect your product provides a cost and time efcient means of bale
storage and limits spoilage of bales.

TL50ECV - Section 1: General Information 1-1
Section 1: General Information
Usage
This machine is designed to wrap round bales in a continual row with plastic lm.
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
Bales
The TL50ECV will wrap round bales up to 6’. This
machine is NOT intended to wrap square bales.
Wrapping Straw
Only two layers of plastic are necessary to weather-protect
straw with the TL50ECV. Dry straw may be wrapped
continually without spaces. Straw with moisture is best
wrapped with spaces in the plastic.

3-3 Section 3: Setup - TL50ECV
Pre-Operating Inspection
Before wrapping at a new site:
• Check oil tank level.
• Check gas tank level.
• Check Tire Pressure.
• Complete a walk around inspection.
• Check engine for hazardous ammable material buildup.
• Check guarding is secure.
Manual Mode Test Run
Test machine in Manual wrap mode without bales and without plastic lm rolls installed.
1. Start engine, refer to Balewrapper Starting, pg.7-1 .
2. Turn on control panel, refer to pg.5-1 .
3. Advance bale ram towards hoop chamber by turning FWD-REV control panel switch to REV.
4. While holding bale ram switch in REV, engage Hoop Rotate button to test hoop rotation speed.
5. Release REV bale ram switch and Hoop Rotate when bale ram reaches fully extended position.
6. Return the bale ram to front of bale wrapper (“Home” position) by turning FWD-REV bale ram
switch to FWD (forward).
Auto Mode Test Run
Test machine in Auto mode without bales and without plastic lm rolls installed.
1. Switch control screen to auto mode, refer to pg.6-1 .
2. Press the bale trigger using a pole inserted between the bale ram and the bale deck.
DANGER: DO NOT attempt to engage the bale trigger by hand.
3. The TL50ECV balewrapper should automatically follow the sequence of the manual wrap mode
without the manual operation of the control screen.
Wrapping Site
• Select a site that will allow room to make an adequate bale row length.
• Site should be free of grass and debris which can attract rodents that damage plastic lm.
• There should be space for at least 50 bales in a row.
• Select a site that is accessible in winter conditions and does not ood in the spring.
• Avoid soft ground, as the wrapper will not move forward smoothly if it is sinking into the ground.
• Operate on level ground or a slight uphill grade for best bale row compaction.

Section 4: Adjustments
Door Switch Adjustment
Top tab (A) of left safety guard must be fully closed
and contact the door switch arm (B) to engage auto
wrap mode. See Fig.1.
• Loosen 4 machine screws (C) and slide door
switch forwards if door switch does not contact
left safety guard tab.
Loosen 4 machine screws (C) and slide door switch
towards rear of machine if door switch arm contacts
safety guard tab before safety guard is fully lowered.
Plastic Film Installation
DANGER: Switch control panel to manual wrap mode before changing plastic rolls. Never leave it in
auto wrap mode as cooperator may set a new bale on the table or engage wrap cycle with remote.
Plastic has a natural tack. 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 fold plastic inside to inside and pull apart. Fold
opposite way (top to top) to determine tackier side.
The roll of plastic should be installed with the tack
against the bales.
The two metal stretcher rolls rotate at different
speeds. This causes the plastic to be stretched.
Plastic goes over the slow roller rst and faster roll
second.
1. Rotate hoop manually until empty plastic wrap
carrier can be accessed from the left safety
guard position. See Fig.1.
2. Lift handle and insert hoop lock pin through hole
in hoop to lock plastic wrap carrier to desired
height. See Fig.1.
