NEW - NEW HOLLAND BIGBALER 340P HD BALER
Description
Overview
- Superior Bale Density From The Leader In Haytools: Density is king when it comes to producing big bales. New Holland's lineup of BigBaler Plus large square balers features a bale chamber that is 31.5 inches longer to create bales with up to 10% higher bale density compared to previous non-Plus models. You get impressive bale shape and more consistent bale density throughout the day. Packing more crop into each bale results in more efficient bale handling, storage and transport.
- Higher Speeds and Higher Bale Quality: It's a competitive market and New Holland BigBalers are designed to make superior, square, dense bales every time with no excuses. The industry-leading pre-compression chamber ensures perfect flake formation, and the three-way density system builds solid bales. SmartFill™ bale flake formation indicators provide real-time feedback to ensure consistent performance in any windrow or field condition.
- New Biomass Option: Biomass pre-charge chamber bands are available as a factory-installed option to improve crop flow in stalky, thick-stemmed biomass crops like cornstalks, sunflowers and miscanthus.
- Ruggedness To Match Capacity: BigBalers are built to handle capacity. The reinforced plunger design is more durable for up to 50% longer plunger life. The newly redesigned flywheel reduces driveline stress when baling uneven swaths. The heavier PTO driveline is durable enough to handle up to 40% more peak torque than previous models. The strong triple reduction main drive gearbox and rugged frame add to overall BigBaler durability.
- Ultimate Maneuverability: The slim BigBaler hitch design saves you time and fuel on every headland turn. The sculpted body and pivoting PTO make tight turns a reality. The addition of optional AutoSteer™ tandem axles can enhance the turning of the baler, limiting crown damage and soil disturbance.
- Better Visibility For Better Productivity: More LED illumination provides greater visibility in all conditions for increased operator efficiency. New LED work and service lights provide clear illumination in key areas — at the twine boxes, needles, knotters, right-hand and left-hand stuffer, pickup and rear safety rail.
- Axle Choices: Choose the axle to match your terrain - the single axle, standard steerable AutoSteer™ tandem axle or large-wheel steerable AutoSteer™ tandem axle with 22.5-inch flotation tires for low soil pressures and higher field speed.
MaxiSweep™ Pickup Features
- The MaxiSweep™ pickup is designed to give you unsurpassed performance. Flare-to-flare width ranges from 77.5 inches on the 330 Plus Standard to 92.6 inches on the BigBaler 340 Plus CropCutter™ model.
- This industry-exclusive design works to maintain crop flow into the augers. Material can even enter from the sides, especially important when picking up crop material at the edge of over-width windrows. The industry secret—top-undershot and bottom-overshot augers work in conjunction with the integrated crop flares to maintain constant, fast crop flows when negotiating curved windrows or slicing through overlapping end rows. Space between the end of the crop flare and outside tines is minimal to prevent crop from being missed.
- The roller windguard is a standard feature. It rides the contour of the windrow on spring suspension to compress the windrow as it enters the pickup for increased throughput and better flow in extra-heavy windrows. Another standard feature is the full-width feed assist roller. Combined with the counter-rotating augers, it maintains constant and fast crop flow in the packer or rotor - a key component of continuous and high-capacity feeding.
- Adjusting pickup flotation is quick with no tools required. The spring-loaded suspension system maintains the pickup contact with the ground, even in rough, uneven terrain at high speeds. Spring-loaded gauge wheel adjustment means no tools required and nothing gets lost.
- Longer and thicker pickup tines are more durable and effective. Strong 2-mm profiled pickup guards with welded tine bar supports, as well as stronger cam and cam bearings increase durability and pickup performance. Thick frame and side sheets increase rigidity—important when operating at higher speeds, driving over pivot tracks and uneven terrain.
- The factory-fitted castering gauge wheel option allows the pickup to follow the ground when following curvy windrows and during turn-rows. A heavy-duty turf tire option is available from the factory.
CropCutter™ Feeding System Features
- Chopping crop as it's fed into the baler provides a number of advantages. The shorter particle length allows for tighter packing of material in the bale, better fermentation in silage bales due to less air in the bale and more anaerobic bacteria activity. Cutting silage, hay or straw bales also allows for more efficient feeding and spreading of material. New Holland offers two CropCutter™ processing options—the high-performance Rotor Cutter feeding system and the more simple, economical Packer Cutter system.
- New Holland's Rotor Cutter System gives you a widest range of chop lengths to match specific forage requirements. Select from two cut length configurations—the short cut configuration delivers chop length as small as 1.5 inches, while the medium cut configuration delivers a chop length of 3.0 inches. The proven W-shaped rotor pattern divides the power requirement equally and also ensures an equal distribution of crop. The rotor now matches the width of the pre-compression chamber for straight-through, smoother crop flow, increased flake density and capacity.
- A new abrasion resistant rotor feeder option is available from the factory, and provides high wear resistance when working in cornstalks and sugarcane trash.
- The industry-leading, one-piece, slide-out knife drawer makes knife inspection and sharpening fast and easy. Sharp knives require less power and lead to a more consistent cut length.
- The simple, effective Packer Cutter uses three packer forks and six double tines to feed the crop through a set of serrated knives and into the pre-compression chamber. It allows for chop lengths as short as 4.5 inches. The packer slip clutch features a more durable design for long life and reliable performance. For convenience, you can engage and disengage the cutter function from the tractor seat. Unlike competitive designs using tines or rotor lobes of the same length, New Holland's staggered tine lengths/rotor lobes prevent the crop from pinching, which reduces crop damage, accelerated baler wear and the need for increased tractor horsepower. A fill-flow floor improves crop flow in high-moisture conditions.
Precompression System Features
- BigBaler Plus hay balers feature a bale chamber that has been extended by 31.5 inches or 31% compared to previous models. The change results in an increase in bale density of up to 10%, and allows you to bale all day long without popping twine in the heat of the day.
- New Holland's industry-leading pre-compression chamber ensures perfect flake formation, and the three-way density system builds solid bales. SmartFill™ bale flake formation indicators ensure consistent performance in any windrow or field condition. Sensors located at the beginning of the pre-charge chamber give the operator real-time feedback on the incoming crop flow. If the sensors detect uneven flow, an arrow appears on the monitor to inform the operator to steer either right or left. It's simple —follow the arrows to make great bales!
- New Holland has improved automatic density control by adding headland detection. When the system detects five consecutive inactive plunger strokes, headland mode engages to reduce density fluctuation and eliminate a load drop after a headland for more stable bale density.
- New Holland's pre-compression chamber and stuffer system are unmatched in reliability and consistent bale formation. Crop holding fingers retain crop until desired density is achieved, then paddles at the bottom of the chamber trip to start stuffer motion. The heavy-duty cast shuttle feeder moves the heaviest crop in to the chamber. This action is fine-tuned so the stuffer speeds up as it pushes flakes into the chamber. The result is filled corners for perfect, square bales in any crop.
- The strong shuttle handles the high feeder speeds for more capacity. While competitive designs have welded stress points, New Holland uses a more durable, three-point pivoting design that provides a mechanical advantage for smooth operation.
- The heavy-duty plunger is more durable for up to 50% longer plunger life. The heavy-duty plunger hammers out the dense, uniform, extra-large bales you demand with 48 strokes per minute. Combined with the constant monitoring of the proven three-way density system, the resulting bales withstand extended storage and intensive handling.
- New Holland pioneered the first self-contained hydraulic bale density system 25 years ago. Today, New Holland Big Balers still offer a system that gives you adaptable performance in any condition. Even if electronics fail, you can still adjust and monitor density with a convenient pressure gauge on the baler tongue - a feature not available on many competitive balers.
Knotters Features
- The gentler bale drop of BigBaler Plus Series balers allows for operation closer to twine knot strength without twine breakage—even in the hottest hours of the day.
- Reliability and accuracy come standard with New Holland's double knot system. And, New Holland anodizes the knotters rather than painting them, ensuring your BigBaler Plus baler ties flawlessly right away, without waiting for excessive/uneven paint to wear away, and ensuring that knotters won't rust in the future and cause misties.
- High density is guaranteed with no stress on the knotter. Two twine feed positions mean that the twine is not held in the knotter frame while the bale is being built. In one fluid motion, the needles deliver the twine to complete the finished bale and, on the return stroke, tie the first knot for the new bale.
- Standard on all Big Baler Plus series large square balers; Further enhances New Holland's double knotting system with a loop style knot for the second knot; The loop knot is 37% stronger compared to a standard knot which provides up to a 26% increase in overall tensile strength for reduced breakages; Twine offcuts are eliminated resulting in cleaner fields and less contaminated feed; Across 10,000 bales, nearly 4 miles or about 100 lbs. of twine offcuts are saved
- Individual miss-tie sensors are standard equipment to identify the individual knotter that miss-tied. When a bale is tied correctly, the monitor alerts the operator with an alarm and shows a symbol on the monitor.
- The redesigned knotter shielding keeps knotters free from debris. 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 keeps BigBalers tying flawlessly in the dustiest crops. Three fans are standard on BigBaler 340 Plus models and two fans on the BigBaler 330 Plus. A new optional air compressor kit is available for working in the harshest conditions such as corn fodder or dry rotary straw.
- Twine storage area accommodates 32 twine balls so you can work longer before a refill is needed. The boxes are sealed between the service deck and top of the shield to eliminate twine box debris buildup.
Ejection and Bale Placement Features
- No matter which type of chute you choose, bales drop more gently to the ground, thanks to the extended bale chamber. A single-piece roller bale chute comprised of all rollers allows the bale to glide effortlessly out of the bale chamber to the ground. The deluxe, industry-exclusive, soft-drop, two-piece roller bale chute features a tilt-table design for gentle handing of heavy bales for fewer broken strings.
- NEW Partial and Full Bale-Eject™ systems feature an active teeth system for more durability and reliable bale ejection. New Holland's Partial Bale-Eject™ system allows you to eject the last full, tied bale in the chamber without affecting the untied bale in front of it. Then you're ready for transport between customers. When changing between crops, transferring to the next customer, or at the end of the season, you can completely clean out the chamber by tripping the knotters to tie off the last partial bale, then using the Full Bale-Eject™ system to eject both the complete bale and the partial bale next to the plunger. Using the appropriate hydraulic lever engages all of the teeth to quickly clean out the chamber.
- New Holland accumulators allow you to accumulate bales and place them in the field together to reduce passes over the field and reduce fuel use. You control the accumulator using the IntelliView™ III or IntelliView™ IV monitor. The AC4104 accumulator handles haylage, straw and dry bales ranging from 4.5 to 9 feet long. Four optional automatic dump patterns allow you to arrange bales together for a package that fits your handling needs. You can eject bales in groups of 2, 3 or 4, or you can manually eject single bales.
- The VS1202 field-smart accumulator allows you to drop up to a vertical three-pack of bales to eliminate telehandler stacking time and associated field damage.
IntelliCruise™ System Features
- The IntelliCruise™ feed rate control system uses ISOBUS technology to automatically match your tractor's forward speed to crop load, maintaining a constant feed rate while baling. IntelliCruise is available on BigBaler 330 Plus and 340 Plus Rotor Cutter models with electronic bale length control, and requires a T7 AutoCommand™ CVT tractor. ISOBUS Class III tractor and baler unlock codes are also required. Using the IntelliCruise system results in:; Dramatically reduced operator fatigue since fewer operator interventions are needed; Up to 9% higher capacity and productivity compared to an inexperienced or fatigued operator; Up to 4% fuel savings to reduce production costs
- Charge Control Mode adjusts the tractor 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 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).
Maintenance Features
- The wide baler body of the BigBaler Plus balers includes a larger platform to make more comfortable to clean off the baler at the end of a busy day. Folding safety railings simplify shipping and provide better access to the front of knotter fans.
- New LED service lights provide greater visibility in all conditions. You get clear illumination in key areas — at the twine boxes, needles, knotters, right-hand and left-hand stuffer, pickup and rear safety rail.
- Color-coded decals identify hydraulic lines to simplify tractor hookup.
- Convenient service is the key to maximizing your time and keeps your baler where it belongs—in the field. Side shields flip open fully and easily. The dustproof twine box allows for the storage of a maximum of 32 twine balls to keep you going during long work days. A foldable, magnetic-locking ladder provides safe access to flat service deck for easy access to the knotters.
- The single-piece, two-stage front shield glides open easily on gas struts. The shield opens partially for fast access to all service points, and fully for complete access to all areas for cleaning. For added safety, the flywheel brake must be engaged in order to open the hood.
- For your peace of mind, standard automatic oiling and centralized greasing systems keep all chains oiled and major grease points lubricated, including the plunger bearings and knotters to reduce maintenance and increase reliability.
- This option adds the convenience of a mounted 2.5-gallon water tank for hand washing, a large toolbox and a hand rail on the right side of the service deck.
