Bale Packing
Bale Baron
Small square bales are highly sought after across the UK by equine, specialty, and general livestock producers for everyday feeding and bedding. However, they are also the most expensive and labour-intensive to produce. Until now. The BALE BARON® virtually eliminates all manual handling, extra time, and additional labour costs for growers, while providing equine and livestock owners with the size and convenience they are willing to pay extra for.
UP TO 1000 BAles an Hour
Small square bales are in high demand – and Bale Baron provides you with the ultimate baling and packaging system -saving you time and money.
Smaller bales are simple to handle and extremely manageable, which is why the demand has shifted. They are perfect for use as feeding and bedding. Marcrest, the manufacturers of the Bale Baron range, are continually innovating in the world of harvesting, by removing labour and cost whilst delivering superb bales.
The Bale Baron® can pack up to 1000 bales an hour depending on the model and tractor used (7000 to 8000 bales in a day) and Bale Baron® packs are handled with a loader, eliminating the need for manual labour.
