The company’s Australian distributor, Ourimbah-based Inlon Pty Ltd, NSW, showcased both this week, with the GAV8 (pictured) powered by a Lamborghini R6 tractor.

Both were put through their paces on Dallis Hammond’s 117ha (290 acre) dairy farm on Dumaresq Island, Taree, NSW - a property that is share farmed by Hunter and Sue Payton.

Being field tested in a paddock of rye grass, which was being baled and wrapped for silage, the demonstration signalled the start of a series of field trials.

Interestingly, the Paytons also operate two Lamborghini tractors, plus a SIP rotary rake. These products have been in Inlon’s stable for more than 15 years.

The GACH32 baler:

Inlon’s Galliganani product manager, Guy Dening, says the GACH32 baler evolved from the Italian company’s proven 3200 model.

Its successor comes with a 2.0m wide pickup, 14-knife crop cutter, hydraulic rotor reverse, large 48cm (19in) floatation tyres and electronic bale monitor.

The GAV8 baler:

This is a variable chamber unit equipped with a 2.2m pickup with rotor feeder, five-belt chamber, a net/twine binding capability, plus an electronic bale monitor.

Common parts such as the pickup, twine/net unit, controller, drawbar and chassis make for easier access to parts and service support.

All the bales from the demonstration paddock were later wrapped with the new Gallignani G950S twin satellite wrapper – a machine with a claimed capacity of up to 130 bales/hour.

Gallignani remains Italy’s largest baler manufacturer and has been in business for 87 years with many of its machines re-branded for sale under other well known brand names.
