New Holland BigBaler Plus

ULTIMATE FEEDING PERFORMANCE

• A brand new feeding logic has been developed which is set to significantly improve baler efficiency
• Two contra rotating overshot and undershot augers direct and merge the crop flow to ensure that it is the same width as the rotor or feeder
• Efficient throughput has been further enhanced with the addition of a feed assist roller, which positively directs the crop into the rotor or feeder to maintain a constant crop flow at all times
• To prevent blockages during silage baling a new optional hydraulically driven assist roll is now available which has the added benefit of being reversible

FLEXIBLE CROP PROCESSING SOLUTIONS

As no two baling operations are the same, the BigBaler offers a whole host of crop processing options with different chop lengths to suit your individual requirements. From the standard direct flow option through to the Packer Cutter and CropCutter™ variants, the BigBaler has the solution no matter what the crop, growing conditions, usage profile or conservation method used. When baling in extremely abrasive conditions, the new heavy duty rotor has been developed, ideal when baling tough crops. The rotor has an abrasive finish, which can extend its life by up to four times.

PERFECTLY FORMED, DENSE BALES AS STANDARD

Density is king when it comes to producing big bales. Whether they are straw bales with an improved combustion profile for biomass operations, tightly packed silage bales with enhanced fermentation characteristics or simply bales that take up less space for easier storage or transport, density is at the heart of big baling excellence. The next generation best-in-class SmartFill™ II bale direction sensing system now has even greater accuracy to ensure the operator feeds the crop in an even manner, and the strong, reinforced monocoque frame, machined from reinforced steel, guarantees durability, season after season.

RELIABLE DOUBLE KNOTTING. GENTLE BALE HANDLING.

Pioneering double knot technology for over 34 years, New Holland has been on an unswerving quest to continually improve this industry leading technology. The BigBaler’s double knot system guarantees higher bale density with lower knotting strain. And the new big baler range introduces another baling first: Loop Master™ knotting technology. The second knot is now a loop style knot, producing a 37% stronger knot with a 26% improvement in tensile strength for reduced breakage, but, perhaps even more importantly it eliminates the twine offcuts, which are currently left in the field, or can even find their way into fodder. It might not sound much, but consider that over six kilometres or 46kg of twine are saved in a 10,000 bale season. Knotting technology has been tailored to the BigBaler’s dimensions, with eight knots on the BigBaler 870 Plus and 890 Plus models or 12 knots per bale on the BigBaler 1270 Plus and 1290 Plus variants. Improved debris management and gentle set-down logic complete the most advance baling technology around. Quite simply, the BigBaler still leads the field over a quarter of a century on.

FINGERTIP BALER MANAGEMENT

Managing your BigBaler has never been simpler, as the new state-of-the-art user interface makes managing your baler even easier. All key operating parameters can be controlled whilst on the move via the IntelliView™ IV colour touchscreen monitor which comes as standard. Furthermore, the BigBaler is fully ISOBUS compatible, for seamless SideWinder™ II armrest integration, so one-monitor operation is guaranteed.

INTELLICRUISE™ SYSTEM. OPTIMISED CAPACITY. ULTIMATE UNIFORMITY.

The IntelliCruise™ feature controls the tractor’s forward speed through ISOBUS Class III technology, increasing productivity, improving operator comfort, improving fuel savings and optimising feeding rate in varying field and crop conditions. This system IntelliCruise has two running modes.
IntelliCruise™ technology enables
• Up to 9% more throughput
• Up to 4% fuel savings
• Reduced operator fatigue

Charge Control mode
• In Charge Control mode, available on CropCutter™ models only, the tractor speed is adapted to achieve optimum capacity by using sensor paddles which measure both the throughput of crop fed into the stuffer feeder channel, as well as the time to fill it to ensure the optimum tractor speed is maintained

Slice Control mode
• In Slice Control mode, available on both the Standard and CropCutter models, the tractor’s speed is adjusted according to bale slice thickness and the system will strive to obtain the exact amount of slices defined by the operator

INTEGRATED YIELD AND MOISTURE SENSING

The BigBaler range of balers have been engineered by design with precision farming features. Bale weight and moisture information is continually updated and displayed on the IntelliView™ IV monitor. This data can be stored, downloaded and analysed with PLM® Connect telematics precision farming software to establish accurate yields maps. These can be used to fine tune inputs to maximise yields and minimise input costs.

FLOATING ACROSS THE FIELD, FLYING DOWN THE ROAD

BigBalers will work in a variety of different environments, from the largest arable operations where reducing soil compaction is of prime importance, to small fields and winding country lanes that mean hassle-free transport is a must. The range boasts a wide variety of axles and tyre options which all comply with the three metre transport width restriction to suit every operation. Furthermore, turn on a sixpence manoeuvrability to complete the package.
