HIGH-DENSITY PERFORMANCEBigBaler 340 High Density balers can deliver up to 22% higher-density bales than other conventional large square balers, and up to 15% more when compared to BigBaler 340 PLUS models. | |
SMOOTH BALER ENGAGEMENTExclusive SmartShift™ gearbox features two-speed start-up technology for smooth baler engagement while protecting the tractor’s driveline. | |
HYDRAULIC AXLE SUSPENSIONProvides excellent ground following ability and superior accessibility underneath the baler. | |
STRONGER KNOTSPatented Loop Master™ knotter system increases overall bale tensile strength up to 26% for lower operating costs while eliminating twine offcuts. |
BENEFITS OF SHORTER PARTICLE LENGTHCutting crop as it’s fed into the baler delivers shorter particle lengths, which results in tighter material packing and greater bale density. Cutting material with up to 29 spring-protected knives can help improve silage bale fermentation, feed digestibility, bale breakup and mixing, and material absorbency. Added density can also mean more weight per bale and more tons per truck, providing even greater savings. | |
KNIFE DRAWERSharp knives require less power and lead to a more consistent cut length. The one-piece, slide-out knife drawer makes knife inspection and sharpening fast and easy. Knives are hydraulically activated from the cab. When cutting is not desired, the knife slots are easy to keep clean by using the supplied blanking plates that are conveniently stowed. | |
DIRECT PRECOMPRESSION CHAMBER FEEDINGThe high-performance CropCutter rotor cutting and feeding system moves material directly into the pre-compression chamber. When the desired pre-chamber density is achieved, the stuffer starts and swiftly moves the perfect flake into position. In the most difficult baling conditions, the rotor floor can hydraulically drop away to release the crop pressure for even easier restarting. |
RELIABLE PACKER FEEDINGThe high-capacity packer model features three, three-tine packer forks made of Hardox®-brand steel that deliver performance, durability, and wear resistance. To match the baler's high throughput, the packer driveline is upgraded to handle up to 25% more power than BigBaler PLUS models. | |
INDUSTRY-LEADING PRECOMPRESSION TECHNOLOGYThe packer feeder, precompression chamber and stuffer system provide unmatched reliability and consistent bale formation. Holding fingers retain crop until the desired density is achieved, and then paddles at the bottom of the chamber trip to start the stuffer motion. The heavy-duty shuttle feeder swiftly moves even the heaviest crop into the chamber, resulting in filled corners for perfectly square bales. |
HEAVY-DUTY FRAMEA new, even more robust frame has been designed to withstand higher-density loads created by the baler. The new main gearbox is mounted to the top beam to reduce crop accumulation underneath and increase durability. Additionally, the drawbar is not part of the main frame to facilitate height adjustment via the dedicated height adjustment rods, which is convenient when baling with different tractors. | |
EFFICIENT SUSPENSIONThe new hydraulic suspension system delivers improved ground following and ensures perfect weight distribution across all four wheels. On uneven terrain, when the front wheel goes up, the rear wheel goes down, which improves field-hugging performance and reduces tire wear. | |
AUTO-STEER TANDEM AXLESThe Auto-Steer tandem axle provides efficient turning and less stubble damage. The baler’s wheelbase has also been extended to deliver a best-in-class steering angle for even tighter turns, resulting in shorter headlands, easy road transport, and improved servicing access. | |
LARGER TIRESLarger diameter tires, up to 59 inches tall, can be fitted to the BigBaler 340 High Density to help reduce soil compaction. Choose the standard 600/50 R22.5 tires, or upgrade to the 620/55 R26.5 tires for the lightest possible footprint. Regardless of tire choice, transport width remains less than ten-feet wide down the road. |
