Features


MegaWide™ High Capacity and Cutting (HC2) feeding system

Features of the MegaWide HC2

The MegaWide™ HC2 will only be available in a precutter configuration (available on the 450M, 460M, 460R, 560M, and 560R models):

  • 1.22-m (4-ft) wide machines will have 14 knives
  • 1.52-m (5-ft) wide machines will have 20 knives.

Adjustable hitch to match wide array of tractor drawbar heights

This feature allows the hitch height to be adjusted to optimise crop-feeding performance.

Benefits of the adjustable hitch:

  • Ability to match baler to numerous tyre sizes
  • Allows for drawbar height to fall within 330 mm to 559 mm (13 in. to 22 in.) from the top of the drawbar to the ground
  • Eliminates narrow feed opening on the baler which can cause plugging
  • Allows pickup head to follow terrain without missing crop.

MegaWide™ Plus pickup with MegaTough™ pickup teeth offers super capacity

MegaWide Plus pickups make baling easier, especially in wide or windblown windrows, and increases productivity; more hay volume means more bales per hour.

  • Flare-to-flare width of 1.8 m (5.9 ft) on balers with a 1.2 m (4-ft) wide bale chamber
  • Flare-to-flare width of 2.2 m (7.2 ft) on balers with a 1.5-m (5-ft) wide bale chamber
  • MegaTough pickup teeth provide greater strength and durability
  • Exclusive square design handles high-impact loads without yielding
  • Self-adjusting roller baffle
  • Spiral rotor-feed system improves feeding in all crop conditions.

Exclusive DiamondTough™ belts with plate-type splices

John Deere’s 178-mm (7-in.) wide diamond-tread design ensures fast bale starts and grips the bale to prevent slippage and reduce chaffing. The treads are self-cleaning to reduce carryover. The belts are staggered to reduce the loss of fine material and are closely spaced to contain the hay for fast, easy starts. The belts enclose 91 percent of the bale width to reduce loss of fine material and retain hay quality.

The DiamondTough belts are more puncture and tear resistant than other belts on the market and provide improved belt life and reliability.

Silage configuration

A silage-configuration baler allows the producer to put up silage hay. A silage configuration machine does not offer a precutter. There are three major components to a silage configuration baler: a staggered roller-auger kit (1), a starter roll-scraper knife, and a screen (2). The powered auger sits above the staggered roll on the baler to help keep wet hay from traveling up the belts and reduce buildup on the roll. The screen is bolted on the front of the baler as a safety feature. The knife/scraper is mounted in front of the starter roll to help prevent wrapping of wet crop on the starter roll.
