According to James R.
Burkholder, product
manager, the New Holland
Model 850 round baler turns
out big, 66-inch-diameter
bales. They weigh about
1,200 pounds, depending on
I tit
crop conditions. Burkholder
said tests show the Model 850
produces tight, manageable
bales that have good
resistance to weather
damage.
Many farmers and ran
chers prefer large round
bales because they can be
left in the field and fed to
livestock on the range,
eliminating the need to
transfer hay to storage,
Burkholder points out.
He said the Model 850
features the same Super-
Sweep pickup found on
conventional New Holland
balers. Its closely spaced
pickup teeth are designed to
gather small stems and
leaves, minimizing hay loss
in the field.

On the “850” bales are
formed within the chamber,
rather than on the ground, to
further reduce hay loss and
provide clean hay. As hay
enters the chamber, it is
formed into a roll by a
rugged system of chains and
steel slats.
When formation of the roll
is completed, twine is
wrapped in a spiral around
the outside, completing the
bale. The twine wrapper is
standard equipment and can
be operated with one hand,
from the tractor seat.
Other standard equipment
includes large flotation tires
to permit baling in a variety
of field conditions, and a
pickup windguard to help
guide hay into the baler and
minimize field losses.
