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

Sensors for Round Balers 
Automatic systems for round balers are equipped with two sensing discs, one mounted on each of the baler’s side walls, sensing from side to side.
