New Holland BigBaler 340 Plus

BIG ON CAPACITY, DENSITY, AND EFFICIENCY.

Take your baling productivity to the next level with New Holland BigBaler PLUS Series large square balers. Their strong, single-piece frame, heavy-duty driveline, and reinforced plunger components deliver commercial-grade longevity. For impressive crop throughput, count on the MaxiSweep™ pickup, crop processing system of your choice, a high-speed plunger that hammers at 48 strokes per minute, the multi-award-winning Loop Master™ double loop knotting system, and long bale chamber. With a BigBaler PLUS, you’ll make dense, well-shaped bales at speeds of up to 110 bales per hour, packing more crop into every bale and more productivity into every day. After all, no one says, “go small or go home.”

MAXISWEEP™ PICKUP

MAXISWEEP™ SPEED AND PERFORMANCE
The MaxiSweep pickup is designed to give you unsurpassed performance. Flare-to-flare width ranges from 77.5 inches on the 330 Plus Standard to 92.6 inches on the BigBaler 340 PLUS CropCutter® model.

CROPCUTTER® FEEDING SYSTEM

GET THE BENEFITS OF SHORTER CHOP LENGTH
Chopping crop as it’s fed into the baler provides a number of advantages. The shorter particle length allows for tighter packing of material in the bale, better fermentation in silage bales due to less air in the bale and more anaerobic bacteria activity. Cutting silage, hay or straw bales also allows for more efficient feeding and spreading of material. New Holland offers two CropCutter® processing options—the high-performance Rotor Cutter feeding system and the more simple, economical Packer Cutter system.

PRECOMPRESSION SYSTEM

AN INDUSTRY-LEADING SYSTEM THAT’S NOW EVEN BETTER
BigBaler PLUS balers feature a bale chamber that has been extended by 31.5 inches or 31% compared to previous models. The change results in an increase in bale density of up to 10%, and allows you to bale all day long without popping twine in the heat of the day.

KNOTTERS

LESS RISK OF TWINE BREAKAGE
The gentler bale drop of BigBaler PLUS Series balers allows for operation closer to twine knot strength without twine breakage—even in the hottest hours of the day.

ELECTRONIC BALE CONTROL

THE INTELLIVIEW™ ADVANTAGE
New Holland IntelliView touchscreen color monitors are simple to use and put complete control at your fingertips. Choose between two options—the seven-inch IntelliView III monitor or the 10.5-inch IntelliView IV monitor for wide-screen viewing.

EJECTION AND BALE PLACEMENT

WIDEST RANGE OF CHUTE OPTIONS
No matter which type of chute you choose, bales drop more gently to the ground, thanks to the extended bale chamber. A single-piece roller bale chute comprised of all rollers allows the bale to glide effortlessly out of the bale chamber to the ground. The deluxe, industry-exclusive, soft-drop, two-piece roller bale chute features a tilt-table design for gentle handing of heavy bales for fewer broken strings.

INTELLICRUISE™ SYSTEM

WIDEST RANGE OF CHUTE OPTIONS
No matter which type of chute you choose, bales drop more gently to the ground, thanks to the extended bale chamber. A single-piece roller bale chute comprised of all rollers allows the bale to glide effortlessly out of the bale chamber to the ground. The deluxe, industry-exclusive, soft-drop, two-piece roller bale chute features a tilt-table design for gentle handing of heavy bales for fewer broken strings.

INTELLICRUISE™ SYSTEM

HIGHER CAPACITY, HIGHER SAVINGS

The IntelliCruise™ feed rate control system uses ISOBUS technology to automatically match your tractor’s forward speed to crop load, maintaining a constant feed rate while baling. IntelliCruise is available on BigBaler 330 PLUS and 340 PLUS CropCutter® Rotor Cutter models with electronic bale length control, and requires a T7 Auto Command™ CVT tractor. ISOBUS Class III tractor and baler unlock codes are also required. Using the IntelliCruise system results in:

• Dramatically reduced operator fatigue since fewer operator interventions are needed
• Up to 9% higher capacity and productivity compared to an inexperienced or fatigued operator
• Up to 4% fuel savings to reduce production costs

MAINTENANCE

LARGER PLATFORM
The wide baler body of BigBaler PLUS balers includes a larger platform to make it more comfortable to clean off the baler at the end of a busy day. Folding safety railings simplify shipping and provide better access to the front of knotter fans.
