Large Square Baler Automation
With no operator involvement, tractor speed is automatically adjusted to match windrow volume to maximize baler throughput. Using a LiDAR (Light Detecting and Ranging) sensor mounted on the cab, windrows are followed automatically by the tractor, even at night, delivering hands-free operation. The sensor also measures tractor speed and, depending on swath volume, reduces speed to prevent overloads or increases speed to maximize productivity.
Large Square Baler Automation:
- Keeps bale length and weight consistent by maintaining a consistent flake count.
- Reduces fuel consumption.
- Increases baler capacity by adjusting speed to reach the desired stuffer/plunger ratio without operator input.
