Large Square Baler Applicators

2024 - Selection Guide
(Applicator Part Numbers)

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 funtions

 

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.

Key New Features of the 700 Series Automatic Applicator

▪ Single pump means less maintenance ▪ More reliable baling rate generated from internal star wheel encoder
▪ New style flow meter with improved reliability ▪ Larger tips that prevent plugging at spray shield
▪ Lower up-front cost on complete applicator ▪ Superior sealing Deutch plugs throughout harnesses
▪ Optional Harvest Tec dedicated monitor ▪ Optional tablet monitor – use either Apple or Android approved devices
▪ Update applicator settings while in operation ▪ Reopen existing job record and add to it
▪ Dual solenoids allow for large range of baling rates covered with each tip, and shuts  product off to eliminate any dripping

700 Series Automatic Control System

Large Square balers

The 700 Automatic Applicator control system is the premier applicator for large square balers. It 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 700 automatic system for large square balers can be controlled through the baler ISOBUS display, iPad or Android tablet. 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.

 

 

 

The 700 Series can be controlled one of four ways:

-ISOBUS compatible, the applicator can be integrated and displayed through the baler monitor in the cab- no other display is needed.

-Through 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.

-iPad controlled through the Precision Baling App

-Android controlled through the Precision Baling App

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 700 Series Automatic Applicator, helping the baling operation become more advanced and efficient than ever before.

Round and Small Square Balers

The 700 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 700 system. On small square balers, the 700 system reads the moisture and tonnage with two star wheel sensors, and also has a optional 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 700 system on round balers reads moisture with two discs in the bale chamber up to 60% 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

HTThe 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.
