cuss how our equipment can help
dairy and cattle operations retain
as much relative feed value (RFV)
as possible for feeding.’’

High-Density Bales
ATLANTA, Ga. Two new
variable chamber round baler
models, designed to produce high
quality bales in sizes to fit most
large hay operations and make
efficient use of crop transport
time, have recently been added to
the broad line of Ageo Hesston
hay and forage equipment.
Available in two versions, the
555 S and the 555 T, the 555 Series
produces bales sized to meet the
specifications of many livestock
and custom baler applications.
The 5SS’s variable chamber can
produce a bale up to 75 inches tall
and 46.5 inches wide, weighing up
to 5,650 pounds. With the ability
to produce, a variety of bale sizes,
loading and transportation costs
are minimized as trailer space is
optimized. The end result is more
productivity and less time in the
field.
Innovation and modernization
have made Hesston a 18-year'
leader in the manufacturing of
large balers, and the S5Ss lack
will be awarded the low-cost loans
for projects that will increase pro
ductivity or provide entry into
new product areas.
Farmers can apply for the loans
by contacting Christian Herr in the
Bureau of Agricultural Develop
ment at (717) 783-8460.

neither quality. With dual twine
arms, powered clean out reinks
and shortened lower drive roll as
standard equipment on the SSSS
and SSST. bales sustain high den
sity without substantial leaf loss
and are secured quickly.
The dual twine arms combined
with a twine arm joggle feature
offer the operator fast and effi
cient bale tie-off. Twine spacing is
adjustable for differing hay types,
while twine arm speed is easily set
with a knob. Each twine arm also
contains an adjustable leaf spring
to tension each sisal or plastic
twine individually.
The twine arm joggle keeps the
amount of twine equal on the right
'and left sides of the bale by
momentarily moving to the left as
the twine arm approaches the
cutoff. This puts an extra wrap of
twine on the right end of the bale,
making handling and storage
simple.
Powered clean-out reinks effi
ciently remove loose crop from
the dead space between the front
belts, and return it to the pickup
area. This features reduces the
possibility of crop buildup without
staggering or twisting die belts.
Meanwhile, crop flaking from the
ends of the belts is drastically
reduced with a shortened lower
drive roll.
