The Bale Baron collects small bales and packs them up, making for easier loading and transportation.
“There’s 21 bales in a bundle and two bundles high fits perfectly in a van trailer,” Horst said. “The bundles are a little under three-feet wide, so three (bundles) tipped over is the same (size) as two upright.”
With a top in-field pickup speed of 12 MPH, a maximum capacity of 1,100 bales per hour and a 13.5 foot turning radius, the Bale Baron is capable of keeping up with three balers.
Marcrest also introduced its Swing-Max, which allows two balers to be pulled with one tractor.
The first baler follows the tractor’s path while the second is controlled from the cab hydraulically.
The Swing-Max is available in sizes ranging from 20 to 42 feet.
