Features may include:
- MegaWide™ pickup with MegaTough™ pickup teeth offers super capacity
- A MegaWide pickup is base equipment on 451E, 451M, 461M, 551M, and 561M Round Balers.
- Hydraulic pickup is in base configuration on 451R, 461M, 461R, 561M, 561R.
- Hydraulic pickup is an option on 451E (dealer installed), 451M (factory installed), 551M (factory installed)
- MegaWide pickups make baling easier, especially in wide or windblown windrows, and increases productivity; more hay volume means more bales per hour.
- Flare-to-flare width of 1.8 m (5.9 ft) on balers with a 1.2 m (4-ft) wide bale chamber
- MegaWide pickup makes it easier to produce better-shaped bales and improves crop pickup in wide, windblown, or scattered windrows
- Mega teeth, located at the ends of the pickup, pull crop around the flares when baling wide or windblown windrows
- MegaTough pickup teeth provide greater strength and durability
- Exclusive square design handles high-impact loads without yielding
- Sturdy toothbar design
- Self-adjusting roller baffle
- Spiral rotor-feed system improves feeding in all crop conditions
- Chain driven for positive feeding
- Cut-out clutch protected
- Semi-pneumatic gauge wheels
- Mega and MegaTough pickup teeth are base equipment:
- Mega teeth, at the ends of the pickup, are heavy-duty for long life and improved crop retrieval
- MegaTough pickup teeth are designed to withstand the harshest baling conditions and provide long service life
- The 1.2-m (4-ft) balers use a full-length, reinforced toothbar design.
- The 1.5-m (5-ft) balers use a heavy, C-channel construction. The pickup toothbars are divided into two half-sections that mount to a center spider for increased strength and even crop feeding.
- Available only on the MegaWide Plus pickup, the patented roller baffle is self-adjusting and produces smoother crop flow across the pickup. The roller also improves crop pickup in small windrows and prevents roll ahead of crop.
- When combined with the MegaWide Plus pickup, this feeding system allows increased ground speed with less chance of plugging for increased productivity in all field conditions.
- Self-adjusting
- Smooths crop for even flow across pickup
- Allows for faster ground speed with less chance of plugging
- Increases operator productivity
