After 40 years in the large square baler industry and watching the rapid rise in technology, it seemed that the small square baler had been somewhat left behind. With the arrival of bale packing machines, uniform bales are essential so ……
Here at WeighayTM we offer a Bale scale with modern control and monitoring systems that can be retrofitted to replicate the control systems of a big baler. Each bale is weighed on a bespoke platform and the information is collected by a central controller. Hydraulic pressure is automatically regulated to achieve the desired weight set by the operator. All control and information is via the Isobus display terminal in the tractor. Keeping the operator in the cab fully informed of the bales being produced ,removing the need to stop and check weigh bales, making adjustments as baling conditions change.
Historically agricultural bales are sold by the unit and large variations in weight is commonplace. Ambient temperature and moisture content changes during the day and bale weight is constantly fluctuating. Shady areas, wet ground and crop conditions all have an effect on bales produced. Weighay allows the producer to set a target weight to ensure all bales are made to an equal average weight regardless of changing conditions. Increasing productivity and profit. The bespoke software loaded into the controller will communicate with the tractor ISOBUS (ISO11783) The baler operator will select a desired bale weight (target weight) using the existing Isobus display screen from the tractor operating seat.
