Self-Propelled Square Baler

Self-Propelled Square Baler BALERS Balers 31-2-27 The self-propelled Freeman Baler is back on the market and better than ever. Powered by a fuel-efficient 115 hp Deere engine, the baler makes three-tie, 16 by 22-in. bales. The self-propelled version was unavailable for seven or eight years. Now owned by Allied Systems, the self-propelled baler line has been reinvigorated with a new spacious cab. The engine features a computer-controlled injection system, digital readouts for in-cab diagnostics and three-stage electronic throttle for idle, baling speed and transport. The hydrostatic ground drive offers infinite ground speeds from 0 to 17 mph. The baler features a 160 hp hydraulic drive motor and in-cab electronic speed control for slower speeds at headlands without lowering engine rpm. This ensures consistent bale formation while saving fuel and maximizing ground drive. Baler drive cutout protects the baler from over speeding when the engine is in transport mode. The cab offers a fully adjustable air ride seat with operator presence safety switch, adjustable steering and air conditioning. List price on the new baler starts at $150,000. Options include an on-board moisture sensor and a four-color on-board closed circuit LCD screen with a camera that can be placed for viewing the knotter or the pickup.
