An open-concept Helix Reel option provides faster, more consistent mixing and improved load leveling with any ration; a Heavy-Duty Drive option extends their use life and gives producers the ability to mix the heaviest feedstuffs.

Wheel Rakes

New Holland’s ProCart deluxe carted wheel rakes are designed for fast, big raking capacity. Individual floating rake wheels and newly optimized raking angles provide clean raking and help form uniform, easy-to-bale windrows. The rake-wheel pressure can be finely adjusted to the crop and field conditions for clean raking and added reliability, since no chains or springs are under tension. New models include the eight-wheel 819 that works up to 18’ wide, the 10-wheel 1022 that rakes up to 21’ wide and the 12-wheel 1225 with a 24’6” raking width. Operators of the 1022 and 1225 can raise front rake wheels when working in heavy crops or lower them for lighter cuttings. Visit www.newholland.com/na.

Round Baler Series

Round Baler Series Simply designed and operated by low-horsepower tractors, Krone’s Bellima fixed-chamber balers make hard bales of silage, hay or straw. They feature the camless EasyFlow pickup, which has fewer moving parts for reduced wear and maintenance. Compared to standard pickups, it operates at a 30% higher speed and is noticeably quieter. The balers use the company’s chain elevator technology, with narrowly spaced slats that reduce friction and power loss. They use no electronics, their bale chambers are fully enclosed and the net and twine rolls are housed in the front. Call 901-842-6011 or visit www.krone-northamerica.com.

Silage Wrappers

Silage Wrappers The SW5000 and SW5500 Silage Wrappers help turn high-moisture forages into individually wrapped, high-nutrition silage packages. Vermeer officials say the SW5000 is ideal for mid-sized operations. The SW5500 is built for operations with extensive silage baling needs. Their low-profile design helps minimize punctures or tears in film wrap and bale damage. The SW5000 features a semi-automatic controller within the tractor cab. The SW5500, fully automatic, has a unique bale discharge system that pivots up to cradle the bale while ground-support bracing helps transfer the load and minimize chassis stress.
