Large Square Baler Applicators

Introducing the New 700 Series Automatic Applicator for Large Square balers! This automatic applicator  replaces the 600 series and will make adding preservative to your hay crop even easier and more efficient  than ever before!

Layout of the 700 Series Components

Key Design Improvements

- Single bypass pump supplying constant pressure to pulsating solenoid valves for improved response time to changes in moisture. This means no lag in preservative application while pump has to build up pressure - Improved flowmeter that works on a range of products - Display applicator readings on dedicated Virtual Terminal, Apple tablet, or Android tablet o Free Precision Baling App from Apple iTunes or Google Play store when using an approved tablet. Click here to see the control options and functions   Same industry leading accuracy for the 700 Series Automatic Applicator Using side-to-side moisture reading technology, the automatic applicator reads crop moisture across the width of the bale near the front of the chamber via moisture sensing dual star wheel  sensors for large square balers. The sensor will read crop moisture from 5% up to 70% for those  customers that make high moisture bales as well as dry bales.

Applicators for Small Square Balers

Challenger Square BalerGet started baling earlier and bale longer with the addition of a preservative application system to your small square baler. Systems are available as 55-gallon units and mount on the back frame of the baler. Choose between a new 300 series HayBoss automatic control system, a 600 series HayBoss G2 commercial automatic system, or an electronic or manual control system.

Moisture Sensors for Small Square Balers

Automatic systems for small square balers are equipped with two star wheel moisture sensors mounted on the bottom of the bale chute, sensing moisture across the width of the bale via conductivity. The sensors can accurately read crop moisture from 8% to 60%, covering a wide range of moisture levels. As the star wheels turn, they also calculate tonnage, helping the system apply preservative even more accurately.

600 Series Automatic Control System

Large Square Balers

agco-baler-monitor-c1000

The 600 Automatic Applicator control system is the premier applicator for large square balers. The 600 system accurately senses moisture on-the-go and adjusts the application of preservative every three seconds to match the condition of the hay. This precision gives the operator the exact amount of product required to keep the crop in great condition, without wasting product. The all new 600 automatic system for large square balers can be controlled through the baler ISOBUS display or iPad, giving complete control to the operator more efficiently as ever without the need for a separate monitor in the cab. The display shows moisture content, speed of baling, and how much preservative is being applied. This control adjusts application rate every three seconds to attain the target rate.

This kit can be controlled one of three ways:

  • If the baler is ISOBUS compatible, the applicator can be integrated and displayed through the baler monitor in the cab- no other display is needed.
  • If the operator has an ISOBUS tractor with a VT display and is not using it to control the baler, the applicator functions can be viewed through the tractor display.
  • If the ISOBUS options are not available, a Bluetooth receiver can be used to display the applicator through an iPad.

A simple push on the Main Menu key pulls up a selection of other screens including the adjustable settings and a Job Record screen. The system stores up to 300 job records by field, including date and time of baling, number of tons baled, product used and the average moisture and high moisture. The system will also store up to 33,000 individual bale records within those job records, and all of the job records can be exported to the iPad, or downloaded and printed via a USB port on the processor for easy and efficient access to crucial bale information.

The new Dye Sprayer Marking Kit that is found on large square balers can now be used on small square balers, allowing the operator to visibly mark the wet bales. GPS systems and bale scale kits can also be used with the 600 Series Automatic Applicator, helping the baling operation become more advanced and efficient than ever before.

Round and Small Square Balers

The 600 Automatic Applicator is the choice of applicator for the round or small square operator that makes hay commercially or is looking for the added performance and capabilities of the 600 system. On small square balers, the 600 system reads the moisture and tonnage with two star wheel sensors, and also has a stroke counter that records the number of strokes per bale, and an end of bale sensor, to record individual bale information like the large square system does.

The 600 system on round balers reads moisture with two discs in the bale chamber up to 70% moisture, and also has a sensor on the bale door to record individual bale records. Both systems have the ability to store and download job and individual bale records via USB and export via iPad.

300 Series Automatic Control System

Round and Small Square Balers

agco-ipadThe 300 series automatic control system is a more compact and efficient applicator that accurately senses moisture on the go and adjusts the application of preservative to match the condition of the hay. This precision give the operator the exact amount of product required to keep their crop in great condition, without wasting product. The 300 Series applicator is controlled with an iPad* through a Bluetooth receiver, eliminating harnesses in the cab.

New improvements to the 300 Series Automatic Applicator include:

  • Single constant-pressure pump with pulsing solenoid that reacts quickly to changes in application rates
  • Improved flowmeter that works on a range of products
  • Smaller and more compact system that is easier to install and maintain

The applicator takes moisture and baling rate information from the two star wheel sensors on small square balers, and two moisture discs in the bale chamber on round balers, and the system will automatically apply the correct amount of product. The moisture, tonnage, and rates are all displayed on the screen, along with the volume used. A simple push of any Main Menu key pulls up a selection of other screens including adjustable settings and a Job Records screen. The system stores 63 jobs by date and time, number of tons baled, product used, and high and average moisture.

Electronic Control Systems

electric_controlsThe electronic cab control is a solid state electronic pump control used for large round and large square balers. The control is mounted in the cab or on the fender. Application rate is quickly and easily adjusted from the operator s seat. Once set, the electronic control will hold the application rate constant. This unit is included with all 25-and 55-gallon applicators with electronic control. It is also included with 100-gallon applicators with electronic control for large square balers.

Manual Control Systems

manual_controlsThe manual pressure regulator provides full-rate adjustment at the applicator, which is controlled on the baler. This economical control is available for 25-gallon applicators only. *There is no regulation control in the cab of the tractor with this unit.

Your hay is important. Make sure your preservative does what it says it will.
