McHale have recently introduced ISOBUS functionality to their selected models in the Fusion, V6 and V8 baler ranges.

McHale ISOBUS machines can be plugged into any ISOBUS tractor connection and operated via the tractor’s own terminal in the cab.

Alternatively, with an ISOBUS tractor the operator can use a separate ISOBUS terminal. The machine is connected via the tractors ISOBUS connector which eliminates large cables being routed through the back window of the tractor cab.

If the customer wishes to operate an ISOBUS controlled machine with a tractor that is not ISOBUS compatible, they can do so through the McHale ISO-PLAY 7 console, equipped with its 7” screen or the larger, 12” screen on the McHale ISO-PLAY 12 console which is also available as an option. An additional tractor wiring loom is required to do this.

These videos are designed to explain how you connect your McHale ISOBUS machine to an ISOBUS compatible tractor or ISO-Play control console.

• They also cover how the AUX-N function can be assigned on tractors, which allows the user to control certain functions of the baler from the tractor joystick.
• For illustrative purposes the videos show the connection process to a McHale Fusion 4 Plus.
