THE RIGHT BIGBALER FOR YOU

The BigBaler PLUS Series is available in 3’x3’ and 3’x4’ bale sizes. Select a standard model or increase bale density with a CropCutter® crop processing system. A wide range of productivity-enhancing options from axles to automation is available.

WHAT'S THE PLUS ABOUT? 

The BigBaler PLUS Series features a bale chamber that’s 31.5 inches (.80 m) longer than prior series. This results in a softer bale drop, bales that are up to 10% denser, and more consistent bale density.

OPTIMIZE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY

By combining SmartSteer™ swath guidance and the IntelliCruise™ feed rate control system, IntelliSense™ bale automation features a LiDAR sensor for hands-free baling day or night.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE KNOT

The Loop Master™ double knotting system produces stronger knots for fewer broken bales and eliminates twine offcuts for cleaner fields and feed, saving nearly four miles of twine saved every 10,000 bales.

GEARED TO GATHER CROP

Greater baling capacity starts with a robust gearbox that delivers a fast 48 strokes per minute, a large flywheel for increased inertia, and impressive performance of the MaxiSweep™ pickup that collects all your valuable crop.

TRANSMITTING POWER FOR PERFECTIONNew Holland BigBaler PLUS Large Square Balers BigBaler 340 PLUS CropCutter® Rotor Cutter

A double-reduction gearbox maximizes clutch and driveline life and is easier on your tractor by minimizing power consumption. The flywheel turns two sets of gears to amplify its power. Its large diameter—538 lbs. (244 kg) on the BigBaler 330 PLUS and 584 lbs. (265 kg) on the BigBaler 340 PLUS—increases inertia by 48% to further reduce stress on the baler, tractor and operator, especially when baling uneven rows.

CLEAN AND EFFICIENT MAXISWEEP™ PICKUPNew Holland BigBaler PLUS Large Square Balers BigBaler 340 PLUS CropCutter® Rotor Cutter

For maximum durability, the MaxiSweep pickup features long, thick tines mounted on tine bars used on self-propelled forage harvesters. Standard poly pickup bands provide low friction and a flat surface for smoother crop flow and quieter operation. Their flexibility and high wear resistance also extend the life of the tines for less maintenance. Thick, distinctive “S”-shaped side shields ensure that all your valuable crop is collected and flows smoothly into the augers. With this design, crop can enter from both sides, which is especially important when picking up material at the edge of a large windrow or during turns. The roller windguard rides the contour of the windrow on spring suspension while the full-width, powered feed assist roller with thick flighting works in tandem with counter-rotating augers to quickly move crop into the packer or rotor — a key component for high-capacity feeding.

A GAUGE ON GAUGE WHEELSNew Holland BigBaler PLUS Large Square Balers BigBaler 340 PLUS CropCutter® Rotor Cutter

Standard fixed gauge wheels are easy to adjust thanks to a spring-loaded pin design that doesn’t require the use of tools. Optional factory-fitted castering gauge wheels allow the pickup to follow the ground during turnrows and curvy windrows. Heavy-duty factory-installed turf tires are also available.

 

crop processing

IMPRESSIVE CROP THROUGHPUT AT HIGH SPEEDS

Choose the standard feeding system or the CropCutter® packer cutter or rotor cutter system for impressive throughput and crop cutting advantages. Cutting crop results in tighter material packing, which means greater bale density and more weight per bale. Shorter particle lengths also improves feed digestibility, silage bale fermentation, bale breakup/mixing, and bedding absorbency and distribution.

CROPCUTTER® PACKER CUTTER SYSTEMNew Holland BigBaler PLUS Large Square Balers BigBaler 340 PLUS CropCutter® Rotor Cutter

The packer cutter option, available on the BigBaler 330 PLUS, uses three packer forks and six double tines to feed the crop through a set of serrated knives and into the precompression chamber. This system allows for cut lengths as short as 4.5 in. (114.3 mm). A durable packer slip clutch and crankshaft drive deliver long life and reliable performance. For convenience, you can engage and disengage the cutter function from your tractor seat. Unlike competitive designs that use tines or rotor lobes of the same length, the BigBaler’s staggered tine lengths/rotor lobes prevent crop from pinching, which can result in crop damage, accelerated baler wear, and demand more tractor horsepower. A fill-flow floor improves crop flow in high-moisture conditionings.

HARD-FACED KNIFE KIT

This knife kit for the CropCutter packer cutter system (standard on rotor cutter models) has a hard facing on the cutting edge for increased knife performance and longevity in abrasive crops. These knives typically last three times longer than standard knives.

CROPCUTTER® ROTOR CUTTER SYSTEMNew Holland BigBaler PLUS Large Square Balers BigBaler 340 PLUS CropCutter® Rotor Cutter

For the widest range of cut lengths, choose the CropCutter® rotor cutter system available on both the BigBaler 330 PLUS and 340 PLUS. Select from two cut length configurations: the short cut configuration for crop cut as small as 1.5 in. (38 mm), or the medium cut configuration to deliver a chop length of 3 in. (76.2 mm). The “W”-shaped rotor pattern assures an even spread of cutting force for smooth cutting action and ensures an equal distribution of crop. Additional benefits include smoother crop flow, increased flake density and capacity, and added durability thanks to its heavy-duty construction.

ABRASION-RESISTANT ROTOR OPTION

If you bale abrasive crops, like cornstalks or sugarcane trash, consider the optional high-wear, factory-installed rotor feeder option. This extremely durable design provides up to four times longer rotor life, while the standard side scraper removes challenging crop buildup.

FAST KNIFE ACCESSNew Holland BigBaler PLUS Large Square Balers BigBaler 340 PLUS CropCutter® Rotor Cutter

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 conveniently stowed on the baler.

ROTOR STOP KIT

Protect your investment with the optional rotor stop kit. It uses the baler’s hydraulic density system to stop the rotor and the entire pickup to prevent plugging in the event of a stuffer shear bolt failure.

 

ejection and bale placement

WIDEST RANGE OF CHUTE OPTIONS

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.

PARTIAL OR FULL BALE EJECTNew Holland BigBaler PLUS Large Square Balers BigBaler 340 PLUS CropCutter® Rotor Cutter

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. 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.

REDUCE TRIPS THROUGH THE FIELD WITH AN ACCUMULATORNew Holland BigBaler PLUS Large Square Balers BigBaler 340 PLUS CropCutter® Rotor Cutter

New Holland accumulators allow you to accumulate bales and place them in the field together to reduce passes over the field and decrease 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.

3 X 4 VERTICAL-STACK ACCUMULATOR OPTION

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.
