Features
Efficient Crop Movement for More Uniform Bales
The deep-flighted auger continuously moves hay away from the pickup to the pre-compression chamber. Hay turns in the tapered auger housing, enabling the feeder forks to fold each charge as it enters the bale case to produce uniform bales.
Built for Consistent Bale Density and Quality
A hydraulic bale tension permits easy adjustment of bale density to meet crop variations and desired bale weight: it features hydraulic cylinders to control the density of the bale and one knob controls bale tension and weight.
Advanced Pickup Design
Built with closely spaced teeth for consistent feeding, this baler features a full-width pickup that gathers broad, heavy windrows efficiently. Its feeder system promotes smooth crop flow, reduces material loss, and delivers uniform material for high-quality bale formation.
