BigBaler: The Ultimate in Bale Density and Versatility
New Holland’s BigBaler series takes baling to new heights with up to 10% higher bale density, thanks to a 31.5-inch extended bale chamber. This improvement ensures softer bale drops, reducing twine breakage and preserving bale integrity. The larger platform makes cleaning a breeze, while the customizable options—three bale sizes, crop processing choices, and terrain-ready tire/axle configurations—mean there’s a perfect model for every operation.
With over seven decades of baling expertise, New Holland continues to lead the way in efficiency and innovation. The redesigned MaxiSweep™ pick-up, heavy-duty rotors, and SmartFill™ bale sensing system ensure top-tier performance, durability, and bale quality. Whether you're baling for biomass, silage, or straw, the BigBaler is engineered for excellence, season after season.
