Haymaking is definitely a forage conservation solution that is increasingly present on farms around the world, as it ensures the fiber necessary for proper rumen function and animal health, allowing the maintenance of milk or meat production even during harsh summers.
In this context, the new Express 5040 Central Baler stands out as a key ally in the process, capable of collecting, pressing, tying, and counting uniform and compact bales from various types of forage, such as alfalfa, oats, ryegrass, coast-cross, tifton, clover, lotus, and crop residues like corn, sorghum, wheat, soy, and rice, among others.
Processed this way, the forage retains its nutritional properties, making it an ideal supplement for livestock feed, especially during dry seasons or winter.
More compact, easy to operate, and low-maintenance, the Express 5040 Central Baler is a modern tool that further enhances the advantages of haymaking.
The Express 5040 Central features the following characteristics:
• Greater bale uniformity.
• Operates at 540 RPM, delivering 100 strokes per minute.
• Equipped with a 1.92-meter-wide pickup reel.
• Features an overload protection system.
