Depending on your need, choose the new 300 series automatic system, an electronic system, or an economical manual control system.
Moisture Sensors for Round Balers
Automatic systems for round balers are equipped with two moisture sensing discs, one mounted on each of the baler side walls, 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.

300 Series Automatic Control System
Round Balers
The 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
Electronic Controls The electronic cab control is a solid state electronic pump control used for any large square, small square, or round baler. The control box can be mounted in the cab or on the fender, and once set the electronic control will hold the application rate constant and is adjusted by turning the dial on the control box.
Your hay is important. Make sure your preservative does what it says it will.
Hay Indicator (Crop Eyes)
The hay indicator sensors see when hay enters the balers pick-up and activates the preservative application. When no crop is coming into the baler, the system will pause on its own, while being ready to apply when crop once again enters the baler.
