New Holland redesigns big baler

Aug 4, 2001 12:00 PM

New Holland's new big square baler, Model BB900, features an efficient in-line design and wide 92-inch pickup width to produce large-capacity, high-density square bales.

Because of the baler's in-line design, there is less leaf loss because crop flows in a straight line, allowing the feeder to capture loose leaves and put them into the bale.

The BBG900 replaces the New Holland Model 585 baler. This re-designed, heavy-duty baler comes with a choice of two bale chamber sizes. It can make 16 by 22 or 15 by 22 bales. A reliable, four-cylinder Deutz diesel engine delivers plenty of power for high-capacity baling.

The rotary feeder produces dense, well-shaped bales in all crops without the need for adjustments or optional equipment. Four-way bale tension provides consistent bale density and shape over a wide range of crops and bale conditions.

A heavy-duty SuperSweep pickup has the widest tine-to-tine measurement in the industry, and is ideal for wide or uneven windrows. Self-contained hydraulics provide fingertip control for tongue shift, pickup lift and bale density — no matter what tow vehicle is being used.

The BB900 is equipped with large flotation tires to reduce soil compaction and minimize crop scuffing. The baler also features a high-capacity electrical system that runs up to eight work lights for nighttime baling.

The ABCs of MRLs

American agriculture exports 20 to 30 percent of its production annually. For specific commodities, the percentage is much higher. When recommending and applying pest management products for crops, license Pest Control Advisers (PCAs)  and applicators and farmers must be aware of which products applied are in compliance with Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) established by foreign customers. This CE course details the MRL issue and why compliance is critical to marketing into world trade.
