Reduce Additional Processing with Precutters

Precutters are designed to improve bale density and feed digestibility. This feature helps reduce the need for tub grinding so you can maintain feed quality. 5 ft balers have 20 knives, 4 ft balers have 14 knives.

Built for Efficient Crop Flow

Found on our M Spec Round Balers, the MegaWide(TM) Plus Pickup gathers more crop and handles higher-volume windrows.* The result is easier days in the field and higher productivity.
