WATCH NOW! IntelliSense™ Bale Automation Overview

See how award-winning IntelliSense™ bale automation for BigBaler PLUS and BigBaler High Density large square balers offers hands-free baling to help reduce fatigue, minimize the chance of downtime from crop plugs, save fuel, and provide greater bale uniformity. 

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 PERFECTION
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.

A GAUGE ON GAUGE WHEELS
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.

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 SYSTEM
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 SYSTEM
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 ACCESS
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.

PERFECTLY FORMED DENSE BALES – A NEW HOLLAND STANDARD.
Making perfect bales is standard with a BigBaler PLUS. Whether you want tightly packed silage bales to enhance fermentation, straw bales for bedding, or simply need bales that take up less space for easier storage and transport, density is at the heart of big baling excellence.

INDUSTRY-LEADING PRECOMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY
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 into 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.

PATENTED “C”-SHAPED CAST SHUTTLE DESIGN
The strong shuttle handles increased feeder speeds for more capacity. A durable, three-point pivoting design provides a greater mechanical advantage for smooth operation compared to competitive designs with welded stress points.

POWERFUL PLUNGER FOR MAXIMUM CAPACITY
The plunger plays a critical role in bale density. The BigBaler PLUS Series features a heavy-duty plunger that’s reinforced to provide a 50% longer life. It hammers out dense, uniform bales at 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.

DENSITY CONTROL, NO MATTER WHAT
A three-sided density control system uses sensor readings from completed bales with continual plunger load monitoring. If a change is detected, the system automatically adjusts hydraulic pressure on the side doors and top chamber rail to restore uniform density. A proportional valve with an increased over-pressure setting ensures stable density regulation when operating at max pressure. Unlike some competitors, in the event of an electronics failure, you can still adjust and monitor density with the pressure gauge on the baler tongue. Automatic density control is enhanced 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.

A LONG BALE CHAMBER MEANS BETTER CONTROL
To deliver consistent bale density and shape, the bale chamber is 31.5 inches (800 mm) longer than previous BigBalers, creating bales that are 10% denser. The extended bale chamber also allows for softer bale drop for less risk of twine popping. That means you can operate the knotter closer to twine knot strength without breakage, so your perfectly shaped bales stay that way.

HARDOX® BRAND WEAR PLATES
For longevity in extreme conditions and reduced cost of ownership, 3-mm plunger side plates and 4-mm bottom bale chamber Hardox® wear plates can be welded-in at the factory.

CHUTE OPTIONS
Equip your baler with no chute or an industry-exclusive, hydraulic folding, soft-drop two-piece roller chute that lets you pack more crop into each bale. Soft-drop chutes feature a tilt-table design to handle bales more gently to minimize string breakage. This chute can also be equipped with the multi-award-winning ActiveWeigh™ bale weight system that’s installed and calibrated at the factory to keep you more informed in the field. The bale chute folds to reduce the baler’s overall length to 24.3 ft. (7.4 m) for convenient travel on winding roads and parking in tight storage areas.

PARTIAL BALE-EJECT™ AND FULL BALE-EJECT™
The Partial Bale-Eject™ system lets you eject the last full tied bale in the chamber without affecting the untied bale in front of it. Use the Full Bale-Eject™ system to trip the knotter to tie off the last partial bale, then activate the hydraulic lever to quickly clean out the chamber at the end of a customer’s field or at the end of the season.

STRONGER KNOTS, FEWER BROKEN BALES, CLEANER FIELDS AND FEED.
The patented, multi-award-winning Loop Master™ double knotting system is not your average large square baler knotter. The first knotter rotation creates a standard knot to finish bales, while the second rotation creates a loop-style knot that’s 37% stronger for added strength to start each new bale. The result is a combined 26% increase in overall twine tensile strength for reduced breakage. Twine offcuts are eliminated resulting in cleaner fields and feed and nearly four miles of twine saved every 10,000 bales.

HOW IT WORKS
The Loop Master™  knotter makes two knots per bale. The first knot finishes the bale, while the second loop-style knot starts the new bale. With a double knotter, twine is fed from the top and the bottom to avoid twine wear because it eliminates friction between the twine and the bale during bale formation, unlike a single knotter system. The knotter system does not need to hold the twine while the bale is being formed, which means less wear and stress on knotter components.

ENHANCED AIRFLOW
Knotter shielding helps keep the system free of chaff. To design this shielding, New Holland used advanced fluid dynamics to analyze air flow and eliminate dead air spots that could lead to debris buildup. The result? Flawless tying, even in the dustiest crops. Three fans are standard on BigBaler 340 PLUS models; two fans are standard on the BigBaler 330 PLUS. An optional air compressor kit is available for working in the harshest conditions, such as corn fodder or straw processed by a rotary combine. The system’s 21 nozzles are positioned to help keep the knotting system even cleaner when baling.

IMMEDIATE MISS-TIE ALERT
Standard individual miss-tie flags and electronic miss-tie sensors identify the individual knotter that miss-tied. When a bale is tied incorrectly, individual sensors alert you to which knotter miss-tied with an audible alarm and a symbol on the monitor.

BIG CAPACITY, EASY LOADING
A 32-ball twine capacity means you’ll spend more time baling between reloading. For a BigBaler 340 PLUS, this translates into the ability to make approximately 1,000 bales before reloading. The boxes are sealed between the service deck and top of the shield to eliminate debris buildup inside.

PRECISION SOLUTIONS THAT ENHANCE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY
During long baling days, small things can make a big difference. The suite of precision features available for the BigBaler PLUS Series are designed to remove limiting factors in the efficiency and productivity of your baling operation. From industry-leading IntelliSense™ baler automation for hands-free baling to streamlined data collection, a host of features helps you maximize your efficiency.

INTELLICRUISE™ AUTOMATION
Increase overall capacity and productivity while baling with the IntelliCruise™ feed rate control system. IntelliCruise automatically matches your tractor’s forward speed to crop load to maintain a constant feed rate while baling, enhancing productivity and greatly reducing operator fatigue.

Tailor the IntelliCruise system to fit your goals with two modes. Charge Control Mode automatically adjusts the tractor’s speed to meet optimum capacity. IntelliCruise automation 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 and creates the number of slices defined by the operator, with corresponding slice thickness based on preset bale length.

INTELLISENSE™ BALE AUTOMATION
Large square baling demands long hours of your continuous focus. You steer to follow each swath and simultaneously observe swath density and crop flow to prevent overloads while adjusting your tractor’s speed to match. You monitor bale fill indicators and steer your tractor accordingly, while also monitoring bale slice numbers and weights. By proactively automating tractor steering by combining SmartSteer™ swath guidance and the IntelliCruise™ feed rate control system, award-winning IntelliSense™ bale automation features a LiDAR (light detection and ranging) sensor that can relieve you of these tasks, day or night. The result? Hands-free baling to help reduce fatigue, less risk of downtime from crop plugs, and greater bale uniformity and consistency due to automated filling, and less fuel consumption.

Available on:

All BigBaler PLUS models (end of 2023 and onward)
Compatible with all New Holland T7 LWB, T7 HD and T8 Auto Command™ tractors (equipped with Class 3 ISOBUS unlocked for steering and speed control)

PRECISION MOISTURE SENSING
Accessible from the IntelliView™ IV monitor, moisture sensing options allow you to analyze crop moisture and make on-the-go decisions to optimize your baling operation. The two-star wheels penetrate the bale and pass an electric current between the two elements to determine the exact moisture of the bale. By inspecting moisture in wet conditions, you can more accurately determine when to apply preservative or wait for conditions to improve, such as in low spots or shade. In situations where crop is too dry, moisture sensing helps you minimize unnecessary leaf loss in high-value crops like alfalfa. This moisture-sensing option is expandable to CropSaver™ hay preservative. When conditions call for closely monitoring bale moisture without the use of preservatives, such as when baling straw, the rubpad moisture sensors provide an accurate bale moisture.

BALE MAPPING
With bale-mapping software, you can identify individual bale characteristics to make real-time adjustments or sort bales differently ahead of storage. In addition, each bale’s moisture, weight, location, density and flake control can be recorded, to help inform future management decisions.

ELECTRONIC BALE LENGTH
Control bale length from the tractor cab on every BigBaler PLUS for the highest level of precision. Simply set the length (118 in. (2997 mm) 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.

ACTIVEWEIGH™ ON-THE-GO BALE WEIGHING SYSTEM
The ActiveWeigh™ on-the-go bale weigh system boasts industry-leading accuracy of +/- 2%. Integrated with the soft drop,  two-piece roller bale chute, the system 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.

CROPRFV™ SYSTEM
During baling, the CropRFV™ 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 CropRFV 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 RFV range to make feeding even easier. Contact your local New Holland dealer for complete compatibility details.

CROPSAVER™ PRESERVATIVE
When you treat hay with New Holland CropSaver hay preservative, you can bale hay at moistures up to 30% without worry of heating or mold damage. This means you can start baling earlier and stay in the field later to get done on your schedule, no matter what the weather is doing. 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.

SPEND MORE TIME BALING AND LESS TIME SERVICING
The BigBaler PLUS Series is designed with easy maintenance and operation in mind. Efficient features include automatic oiling and greasing systems, wide-opening shields for easy access, color-coded hydraulics, and yellow paint to improve visibility and safety during servicing.

SERVICE ON HIGH
A wide baler body means the space between the side frame and twine box is increased to reduce crop accumulation and allow for a larger, flatter, and safer maintenance platform. Safety railings fold to simplify road transport and provide better access to the front of the knotter fans. At the back of the baler, the foldable, magnetic-locking ladder guarantees safe access to the service deck.

WIDE-OPEN SERVICING
For easy servicing, a single-piece, two-stage front hood quickly raises on gas struts. This shield opens partially for fast access to all service points, or fully for complete access to all areas for cleaning. Dust-proof side shields also flip open effortlessly for easy servicing.

AUTOMATIC OILING AND GREASING SYSTEMS
To reduce maintenance and enhance reliability, an automatic oiling and centralized greasing system are standard to keep chains oiled and major grease points lubricated, including the plunger bearings and knotters.

COMFORT PACK
Equip your BigBaler PLUS with the comfort pack to get a large toolbox and a 2.5-gallon (9.5-liter) water tank for hand washing.

EYES IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD
An optional rear-mounted viewing camera allows you to see bale delivery and accumulator activity in real time on the IntelliView™ IV monitor. With this 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 with a separate monitor can be added to view other baler functions.

SUPERIOR DAY AND NIGHT VISIBILITY
At night, partner a BigBaler PLUS with a New Holland high horsepower tractor to get 360° LED lighting to maintain your productivity, safety, visibility, and ease of operation. LED lights are standard equipment to illuminate the pickup, knotter, needle, and rear of the baler. For greater visibility, add a rotary beacon for road transport.
