This used 2021 McHale C460 is a trailed bale feeder and straw blower with electric controls. It’s a versatile machine for livestock farmers who want one implement to feed out silage, haylage or hay and to bed sheds with straw. It is a later-model example of the C460, and it is now available from our used machinery stock. What the McHale C460 does The C460 is the flagship model in McHale’s C4 silage feeder and straw blower range. It carries and processes two 4ft (1.2m) round bales at a time, so it handles both daily feeding and regular bedding without frequent trips back to the bale stack. Like the rest of the C4 range, it can also process large square bales and clamp silage. That makes it a practical choice for dairy, beef and sheep units that use a mix of forage types through the winter housing period. Key features Trailed design, for higher capacity and easier handling than a linkage-mounted machine Electric controls, so the operator can manage the floor conveyor, tailgate and chute from the tractor cab Twin-speed gearbox, which runs the flywheel at around 280rpm for feeding silage and hay and at 540rpm for blowing straw 1.57m flywheel with six blowing paddles, which can blow straw up to around 18 metres for fast, even bedding Rotating three-stage chute, which lets the operator direct material accurately into pens, cubicles and awkward corners Hydraulic chain-and-slat floor conveyor, with speed control to suit the density of the material Bale-loading tailgate, so a bale can be picked up without a separate loader Why choose a used McHale C460? A used 2021 McHale C460 offers the same proven design as a new machine at a lower cost than buying new. McHale feeders are known for strong build quality and good resale value, which makes this a sensible investment for farms looking to cut time spent feeding and bedding through the winter. Frequently asked questions How many bales does the McHale C460 hold? The C460 holds two 4ft diameter round bales. It can also handle large square bales and clamp silage. Can the McHale C460 feed silage and bed straw? Yes. The twin-speed gearbox lets the same machine feed silage, haylage or hay at a lower speed and blow straw for bedding at a higher speed. How far does the McHale C460 blow straw? McHale states that machines in the C4 range can blow straw up to around 18 metres.
