Small Square Balers

Small is a Relative Term

They're called small square balers, but they're all about big performance. Whether you need to feed your livestock in the barn or easily transport bales, four affordable models offer the field-proven crop control system you need to make solid, square-sided bales that are easy to stack and transport every time.

Productivity

Continuous-flow Floating Auger

Move hay away from the pickup to the pre-compression chamber with the continuous-flow auger. Free-floating motion automatically adjusts to hay volume, maintaining control of incoming crop.

Bale Tensioner

The S200 Small Square Baler lets you control the density of your bales from inside the cab. Alternatively in our 300 Series Small Square Balers, use the external hand crank to apply the right amount of tension to every bale with the hydraulic bale tensioner. Using a single knob, easily adjust bale density to meet crop variations and desired bale weight.

Knotters

Never-miss knotters catch every time to give you a reliable, secure twine wrap. They’re highly dependable for an accurate, fast-acting catch … even in the toughest crops.

Pickup System

The S200 Square Baler's wide, high-capacity pickup offers our widest windrow capacity, measuring 80 in (203.2 cm) from flare to flare. The pickup teeth and narrow flanged strippers enable full, usable pickup for many crop types with varying windrow width, shape, and volume.

The 300 Series Small Square Balers use a full-width feeding pickup system with tight-fitting teeth and narrow strippers to gather hay in wide, heavy windrows with a capacity of 69 in (175.3 cm) from flare to flare.

Features may include:

2-m (6.5-ft) wide pickup on the S200 Small Square Baler

The S200 Small Square Baler features a 2-m (6.5-ft) wide pickup. The S200, designed for gathering capacity, is equipped with 96 teeth on four bar pickup. The width between the outer teeth is 1.4 m (4.6 ft) and can gather wide and windblown windrows.

High output

The 1.18-m (3.9-ft) long floating auger guarantees an efficient and even feeding of the bale chamber whatever the size of the windrow. In addition, the auger is spring suspended. The large feed opening allows the machine to swallow huge crop volumes.

The 90 strokes per minute (spm) on the S200 of the plunger head enable high output and high bale density. The 750-mm (29.5-in.) stroke of the plunger head allows a larger feed opening, increasing feeding capacity.

Tight bales

The top and bottom T-rail tensioning system, adjustable with two cranks or one pneumatic cylinder, is combined with the three hay dogs to provide well-shaped, tight bales that handle and stack easily. The S200 Small Square Baler is equipped with side density flaps, one on each side.

The optional dimpled side-hay resistors can help in making denser bales. They maintain the tension while tying takes place.

Twine knotters

The S200 comes standard with heavy-duty twine knotters. The needles are chain driven, providing simple and easy maintenance.

Durability and reliability

Heavy-duty plunger head made of welded steel provides added strength and reduces maintenance costs.

A safety stop automatically prevents the plunger head from hitting the feeder fork or the needles while they are in the bale chamber.

A grease bank greases each knotter grease point just by filling one grease point.
