A RANGE of high capacity bale handers and wrappers made by the Anderson Group, in Quebec, Canada, are to be marketed in the UK by D Clifford and Sons, based at East Bridgford, Nottinghamshire.

For the UK market, it is initially introducing the StackPro square bale accumulator; the TRB round bale accumulator and the company’s in-line bale wrapper, which can wrap either round or square bales in a continuous tube.

John Clifford reckoned the Andersons range will suit the needs of busy British contractors and farmers: “The StackPro is primarily a contractors’ machine that can collect up to 16 large square bales and leave them in a six high stack.

"The TRB can collect up to 20 bales each trip, while the in-line wrapper will interest both farmers and contractors with significant numbers of bales to make and handle."

Todd McMyn, sales director for Andersons, said that around 1000 in-line wrappers are already working across Europe.

The machines will be shown to farmers for the first time at the Midlands Machinery Show, at Newark Showground, on November 23 and 24.
