Description

Overview
  • All-Out Efficiency: True to its name, the BigBaler 340 High Density packs more crop into every bale. Put into numbers, the BigBaler 340 High Density can deliver up to 22% higher-density bales than other conventional large square balers, and up to 15% more when compared to a BigBaler 340 PLUS.
  • Improved Pickup Productivity and Durability: The BigBaler 340 High Density ensures exceptional productivity with its efficient, five-bar MaxiSweep™ pickup. This pickup efficiently collects large, wide windrows for uniform, high-capacity feeding. A short, narrow tongue profile provides outstanding baler maneuverability at headlands and improves visibility of the pickup.
  • Smooth Baler Engagement: The award-winning SmartShift™ gearbox features two-speed startup technology to deliver even smoother baler engagement which means your tractor's driveline is always protected. How does it work? Once the PTO reaches 850 rpm, the easy-start feature engages the baler and automatically shifts from 1st to 2nd gear, accelerating the flywheel to a maximum speed of 1440 rpm at full PTO speed.
  • CropCutter® Feeding System: Cutting crop as it's fed into the baler delivers shorter particle lengths, which results in tighter material packing and greater bale density. Cutting bedding material, like long straw, with up to 29 spring-protected knives can help improve material absorbency. Added density can also mean more weight per bale and more tons per truck, providing even greater savings for you.
  • Packer Feeding System: The high-capacity packer model features 3, 3-tine packer forks made of Hardox®-brand steel that deliver performance, durability, and wear resistance. To match the baler's high throughput, the packer driveline is upgraded to handle up to 25% more power than the BigBaler PLUS models.
  • More Durability, Season After Season: The BigBaler 340's strong, robust frame manages higher-density loads delivered by the plunger for long-term durability. Wide-opening side and front shields, along with a yellow mainframe, provide exceptional serviceability and visibility. Twine boxes swing out of the way hydraulically to make cleaning even easier.
  • Stronger Knots, Less Breakage: The Loop Master™ knotter system builds upon New Holland's renowned double-knotting system. The second knot is now a loopstyle knot that is 37% stronger compared to a standard knot. The result? Up to a 26% increase in overall twine tensile strength for reduced breakages and no twine offcuts, meaning cleaner fields and less contaminated feed. Huge 36-twine spool capacity reduces the number of times required to stop and refill the twine boxes.
  • Easy Twine Loading: For easier twine loading, the hydraulic axles can be lowered to bring the twine boxes closer to the ground. This system also facilitates excellent maintenance access as there are no leaf springs obstructing the area.
  • Work Smarter: The IntelliView™ display combined with New Holland Precision Land Management (PLM™) allows you to track and save data such as individual bale weight and moisture, yield monitoring and GPS drop points. For the ultimate in productivity, unlock IntelliCruise™ and pair the BigBaler with an ISOBUS Class III New Holland T7 HD AutoCommand™ CVT tractor. The IntelliCruise™ feed rate control system can be used in either Charge Control Mode for maximum capacity or Slice Control Mode to obtain the desired number of slices per bale producing consistent bale lengths and reducing operator fatigue.
MaxiSweep™ Pickup Features
  • The standard poly tine bands provide low friction and a flat surface for smoother crop flow and quieter operation. Additionally, their flexibility and high wear resistance extend the life of the tines, which means less maintenance for you. For even greater durability on the roughest terrain or when quickly baling windrows, heavy-duty gauge wheels are available with your choice of fixed or castering arm designs.
  • Measuring 92.6 inches flare-to-flare and 86.6 inches tine-to-tine, the BigBaler 340 High Density's 2.35m MaxiSweep™ pickup is perfect for baling wide swaths from today's high-capacity combines. Solid-steel bar stock tine bars resist torsion and deliver performance and reliability at high speed. The efficient 5-bar reel is fitted with 85 heavy-duty double steel coil tines to assure clean crop pickup and throughput. “S"-shaped side sheets ensure that crop flows smoothly and evenly into the baler, while the full-width-powered, feed-assist roller delivers high-capacity feeding into the feed channel in even the bulkiest crop material.
  • The baler's short and narrow drawbar and non-reflective yellow color provide excellent visibility of the pickup while baling.
CropCutter® Feeding System Features
  • Cutting crop as it's fed into the baler delivers shorter particle lengths, which results in tighter material packing and greater bale density. Cutting material with up to 29 spring-protected knives can help improve silage bale fermentation, feed digestibility, bale breakup and mixing, and material absorbency. Added density can also mean more weight per bale and more tons per truck, providing even greater savings for you.
  • Sharp knives require less power and lead to a more consistent cut length. The one-piece, slide-out knife drawer makes knife inspection and sharpening fast and easy. Knives are hydraulically activated from the cab. When cutting is not desired, the knife slots are easy to keep clean by using the supplied blanking plates that are conveniently stowed.
  • The high-performance CropCutter rotor cutting and feeding system moves material directly into the pre-compression chamber. When the desired pre-chamber density is achieved, the stuffer starts and swiftly moves the perfect flake into position. In the most difficult baling conditions, the rotor floor can hydraulically drop away to release the crop pressure for even easier restarting.
Packer Feeding System Features
  • The high-capacity packer model features three, three-tine packer forks made of Hardox®-brand steel that deliver performance, durability, and wear resistance. To match the baler's high throughput, the packer driveline is upgraded to handle up to 25% more power than BigBaler PLUS models.
  • The packer feeder, precompression chamber and stuffer system provide unmatched reliability and consistent bale formation. Holding fingers retain crop until the desired density is achieved, and then paddles at the bottom of the chamber trip to start the stuffer motion. The heavy-duty shuttle feeder swiftly moves even the heaviest crop into the chamber, resulting in filled corners for perfectly square bales.
High-Density Baling Features
  • The BigBaler 340 High Density can deliver up to 22% higher-density bales than other conventional large square balers, and up to 15% more when compared to the BigBaler 340 PLUS.
  • The plunger plays a critical role in bale density, which is why the BigBaler 340 High Density has an improved plunger design. This plunger provides impressive results, delivering a 29.5-inch (748-mm) stroke, 48 times per minute, with extreme plunger force that is 58% greater than BigBaler 340 PLUS models for even denser bales.
  • The BigBaler 340 High Density benefits from adjustable precompression chamber technology developed for high-density baling. Crop is fed into the chamber and held there until it reaches the correct density. Improvements have been made to the control fingers - including their construction and motion - to deliver even more consistency and higher density.
  • The real technological revolution that delivers industry-leading density for the BigBaler 340 High Density is the rear-mounted density ring. The unique design features three, double-acting, top-mounted cylinders and two double-acting cylinders on each side to create a pressure ring that opens and closes the density doors with precision. This system also features rapid door closing, which means you can get back to baling even quicker.
  • To deliver consistent productivity regarding density and bale shape over the entire baling day, the bale chamber is over 13 feet, 3 inches long - the longest in the industry. Even on the hottest day, dry and slick crops are no problem for the BigBaler 340 High Density's bale chamber.
Frame & Axles Features
  • A new, even more robust frame has been designed to withstand higher-density loads created by the baler. The new main gearbox is mounted to the top beam to reduce crop accumulation underneath and increase durability. Additionally, the drawbar is not part of the main frame to facilitate height adjustment via the dedicated height adjustment rods, which is convenient when baling with different tractors.
  • The new hydraulic suspension system delivers improved ground following and ensures perfect weight distribution across all four wheels. On uneven terrain, when the front wheel goes up, the rear wheel goes down, which improves field-hugging performance and reduces tire wear.
  • The Auto-Steer tandem axle provides efficient turning and less stubble damage. The baler's wheelbase has also been extended to deliver a best-in-class steering angle for even tighter turns, resulting in shorter headlands, easy road transport, and improved servicing access.
  • Larger diameter tires, up to 59 inches tall, can be fitted to the BigBaler 340 High Density to help reduce soil compaction. Choose the standard 600/50 R22.5 tires, or upgrade to the 620/55 R26.5 tires for the lightest possible footprint. Regardless of tire choice, transport width remains less than ten-feet wide down the road.
Driveline Features
  • High density does not mean hard starting. When the machine is stopped, the smart brake stops the plunger away from the bale face. Since the plunger does not press on the bale face at startup, initial harsh-starting torque loads are virtually eliminated.
  • The award-winning SmartShift gearbox features two-speed startup technology to deliver even smoother baler engagement, so your tractor's driveline is always protected. How does it work? Once the PTO reaches 850 rpm, the easy-start feature engages the baler and automatically shifts from 1st to 2nd gear, accelerating the flywheel to a maximum speed of 1440 rpm at full PTO speed.
  • BigBaler 340 High Density balers feature a flywheel that is 130-pounds heavier than the one found on BigBaler PLUS balers. It also has a 16% larger diameter, coming in at 42.5 inches (1080 mm), and turns faster to deliver 230% more energy.
  • The new super-duty main gearbox has two drive gears driving the main output gear, which leads to an increased gear-to-gear surface contact area for greater durability and more efficient, balanced power load distribution.
Loop Master™ Knotter Features
  • Delivering up to a 26% increase in overall tensile strength for reduced breakages, the Loop Master™ double knotting system forms the first knot in each bale with a loop style, which is 37% stronger compared to a standard or conventional large square baler knot. Perhaps more importantly, this knotting system eliminates twine offcuts, resulting in cleaner fields and feed - a great advantage for export hay producers. This system saves nearly four miles of twine every 10,000 bales.
  • Shielding around the knotter helps to keep the system free of chaff. To design this shielding, New Holland used advanced fluid dynamics to analyze air flow and eliminate dead spots of air that could lead to debris build-up. The result? BigBaler High Density balers tie bales flawlessly in even the dustiest crops. Three electric fans are standard, and the flywheel's webbing is fan-blade-shaped to keep air moving and the entire baler cleaner and cooler. An optional compressed blowoff kit is available for working in the harshest conditions. The system's 21 nozzles are positioned to help keep the knotting system even cleaner when baling.
  • Individual miss-tie flags and electronic miss-tie sensors are standard equipment to identify the individual knotter that miss-tied. When a bale is tied incorrectly, the monitor alerts the operator with an audible alarm and a symbol on the monitor.
Visibility Features
  • When you partner a BigBaler 340 High Density baler with a New Holland high-horsepower tractor, you can get 360° LED lighting to maintain your productivity, safety, visibility, and ease of operation, even in the middle of the night.
  • Standard ultra-bright LED strip lights have been strategically placed on the baler to increase visibility to the MaxiSweep™ pickup and the Loop Master™ knotting system. An optional service light package includes additional LED lighting for both twine box doors and the right- and left-hand side of the stuffer mechanism, so nighttime servicing can become effortless.
Precision Land Management Features
  • MyPLM Connect enables you to connect to your BigBaler 340 High Density from the comfort of your office and monitor and features over 27 operating parameters through the utilization of the mobile network. You can stay in touch with your machines at all times and even send and receive real-time information, helping to save you time and enhance your productivity. The Farm tab on the MyPLM Connect portal is where you can analyze all field data transferred on the MyPLM Connect network. Even better, you can map bale data. This information is recorded in real time while baling, then automatically uploads via the connected vehicle. This data is also available on the MyPLM Connect Farm mobile app, which can be used by a telehandler or loader tractor operator to selectively load bales. When equipped, the moisture, weight, location, density, and flake count is recorded for each bale.
  • When units are not connected to the MyPLM Connect portal via telematics, or when connectivity service is limited, manual data logging is most practical. The IntelliView™ monitor allows you to save bale weight, moisture, yield monitoring, GPS drop points and other valuable data to track jobs and field/crop performance (if equipped with New Holland Precision Land Management™ equipment).
  • During long baling days, small things can make a big difference. The user interface is displayed on the IntelliView IV large color touchscreen display, or other virtual terminal displays found in ISOBUS compliant tractors. The interface has been completely redesigned to enable operators to control the main functions from the screen, including specific, direct-access “action" buttons that can be used to control features such as bale density, bale length and PTO engagement. The IntelliView IV large color touchscreen display and harnessing are available for non-ISOBUS compliant tractors for a similar user interface and experience.
  • To ensure uniform, consistently good-looking bales, the SmartFill II system uses calibrated load cell sensors on the plunger to ensure uniform left and right fill. The system also indicates if the position of the baler needs to be adjusted in relation to the swath.
  • For the highest level of precision, bale length is controlled from the tractor cab on every BigBaler. Simply set the length (118 inches maximum) and go. “Smart" star wheels track the actual length of the bale and trigger the knotters at exactly the right time. When a field or job is finished, tying of an unfinished bale is done safely from the cab. The standard Bale-Eject™ feature allows you to choose partial or full bale ejection to clear the chamber before moving on.
  • The BigBaler 340 High Density moisture sensor options displayed on the IntelliView monitor allow you to make on-the-go baling decisions when crop isn't ready. The two-star wheels penetrate the bale and pass an electric current between the two elements to determine the exact moisture of the bale. This moisture sensing option is expandable to New Holland CropSaver™ hay preservative. When conditions call for closely monitoring bale moisture without the use of preservatives, such as when baling straw, the rub-pad moisture sensors provide an accurate bale moisture.
  • An optional rear-mounted viewing camera allows you to see bale delivery and accumulator activity in real time on the IntelliView monitor. With a larger IntelliView IV monitor, you can choose full-screen or split-screen viewing, or you can view one as an inset picture while monitoring baler functions. A second camera can also be added to monitor other baler functions.
  • During baling, the Crop RFV system option measures the weight of the bale and moisture content based on the leaf-to-stem ratio to calculate your Relative Feed Value (RFV), or the nutritional value of the bale. The Crop RFV system requires the ActiveWeigh™ on-the-go bale weight system and a precision farming moisture sensor option. You can also Pair the CropID™ system or a dye marker kit to easily identify bales within a specific RVF range to make feeding even easier. Contact your local New Holland dealer for complete compatibility details.
  • When you treat hay with New Holland CropSaver hay preservative, you can bale at moistures up to 30% without worrying about heating or mold damage. This means you can start baling earlier and stay in the field later to finish on your schedule, no matter the weather conditions. CropSaver preservative also helps to maintain both the fresh smell and green color of hay, even after it's stored. Choose an electronic applicator control system to set and maintain a constant application rate, or an optional automatic control system that accurately senses moisture on the go and adjusts the application of preservative every three seconds to match the condition of the hay.
  • The multi-award-winning ActiveWeigh™ on-the-go bale weight system boasts industry-leading accuracy of +/- 2%. It is integrated with the soft drop two-piece roller bale chute and measures the weight of the bale at the exact moment it balances on the rear of the roller chute prior to tipping off onto the ground.
  • All data for individual bales is tracked and stored in the IntelliView monitor as a standard feature. The award-winning, optional CropID system gives you the convenience of storing all that valuable information with the bale by applying a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag to each individual bale. This system allows you to come back later with a scanner and retrieve data for ultimate in bale traceability.
  • The IntelliCruise feed rate control system uses ISOBUS technology to automatically match your tractor's forward speed to crop load to maintain a constant feed rate while baling. KEY BENEFITS:; Dramatically-reduced operator fatigue; Up to 9% higher capacity and productivity compared to an inexperienced or fatigued operator; Up to 4% fuel savings to reduce production costs IntelliCruise is available on BigBaler 340 High Density balers and requires a New Holland or CNHi-brand ISOBUS Class III tractor and precision farming unlock codes. Contact your local New Holland dealer for complete compatibility details. TWO OPERATING MODES: Charge Control Mode - Adjusts the tractor's speed automatically to meet optimum capacity. The system measures the throughput of crop yield fed into the pre-charge chamber, and the time needed to fill the chamber. Slice Control Mode - Adjusts the tractor's speed according to bale slice thickness. The system creates the number of slices defined by the operator (with corresponding slice thickness based on pre-set bale length).
Accessibility & Maintenance Features
  • For easy servicing, a single-piece, two-stage front hood easily glides open on gas struts. The shield opens partially for fast access to all service points, or fully for complete access to all areas for cleaning.
  • The BigBaler 340 High Density has been designed with easy maintenance in mind - after all, you want to spend more time baling and less time maintaining the baler. Efficient features include fewer daily grease points, sides and front shields that open wide, and easy access to the underside of the baler. The MaxiSweep™ pickup features poly tine bands for extended tine life and simple serviceability should they need changed. The large, flat, upper service deck gives instant access to the Loop Master™ knotter system. The body of the baler includes a larger platform for easier and safer servicing. Folding safety railings provide a low height for transport and provide better access to the front of knotter fans.
  • To reduce maintenance and enhance reliability, automatic oiling and centralized greasing systems are standard to keep all chains oiled and major grease points lubricated, including the plunger bearings and knotters.
  • The twine box unit has been fitted with hydraulics that allow it to swing out fully to make cleaning even easier. This design also provides easier access to baler's inner workings. Maintenance, such as replacing needle protection shear bolts, is faster and easier.
  • To match the BigBaler 340 HD's appetite, the twine box holders support 36 XL spools of twine. All the spools can be connected simultaneously, which means you have up to 65% more autonomy and can bale approximately 1400 bales before reloading. For easy twine loading and threading, the baler's hydraulic axles can be lowered to bring the twine box holders closer to the ground.
