Applicators for Round Balers

2024 - Selection Guide
(Applicator Part Numbers)

Hay preservative can be used to bale large round bales between 16% and 30% moisture. You have the option of a 25-gallon or, on certain models, a 55-gallon application system. The system mounts to the tongue of the baler and holds enough preservative to treat 30 to 60 tons of hay. Depending on your need, choose the new 300 series automatic system, a 700 series commercial automatic system, an electronic system, or an economical manual control system (available in 25-gallon only).

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.

All applicators come as complete kits designed to fit your specific baler, and consist of 25 or 55 gallon tank

• 12 volt pumping system

H2O Precision Moisture Only System

Whether you bale dry hay or high moisture silage round bales, knowing your exact moisture while baling can help you to produce a consistent and high quality crop needed for  your operation. Round baler operators know that moisture variations are a challenge, and being able to accurately determine and monitor your hay moisture is an important key to success.

The H2O Precision Moisture Sensor is the perfect addition to your round baler to identify hay moisture variations in the windrow while baling, and is designed for the operators who demand the accuracy of the on-board moisture sensors, but do not need a full preservative applicator.

H2O Precision Moisture Sensor!

Dye Marker Kit for the H2O Precision Moisture Sensor

The optional Dye Marker Accessory can be added to the H2O Moisture Sensor that will mark every bale that is above a set moisture with a red, food-grade stripe. The bale is marked as it leaves the chamber, allowing the operator to easily identify those bales that are above their own moisture threshold. The food-grade dye mixes with water and applies up to 60 bales.

The Dye Marker Accessory consists of a tank, pump, end of bale sensor kit (200FCA), harness, and mounts on the baler.  The spray option can be

activated by selecting the feature in the H2O App and simply setting the moisture threshold you want to identify. See more on the H2O System & Dye Marker!

Control Options for Round Balers

700 Series Automatic Control System

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.

The 700 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. The system can be controlled one of two ways:

1. 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.
2. If the first option is not available to the operator, the hardwired receiver is available to allow the customer to operate the applicator through their own iPad.

300 Series Automatic Control System

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.

*iPad Mini or iPad 3rd Generation (2012) or newer, running the current iOS operating system or one previous version required for iPad option

Electronic Control Systems

The 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

The manual pressure regulator provides full-rate adjustment at the applicator. This economical control is available for 25-gallon applicators only.

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