New Holland Model 548 CombiT Baler Wrapper replaces two-step system
The New Holland Model 548 CombiT baler wrapper combines round baling and film-wrapping of silage into a single machine, leading to labor and investment savings, reduced losses, and a betterquality end product. It replaces the two-step system of round baling and then film-wrapping for conservation, done separately either in the field or stationary, normally requiring two tractors and operators. This requirement often resulted in loss of crop and quality because of time delays and bale contact with the soil. The CombiT baler wrapper offers the possibility of a fully integrated automatic process: once the bale reaches its set density in the bale chamber, it is transferred to the wrapper table in only 6 to 8 additional seconds. Then formation of a new bale can begin. The compact design allows excellent maneuverability in small fields with tight corners and is engineered to assure proper transfer of the bale, even on sloping ground.
