Krone Big Pack 870 MutiBale

Krone Big Pack large square baler baling.

The title is somewhat misleading, this baler is a Krone BP870 HDP MultiBale which has the capability to make High Density Pressed bales that are very dense. That is probably the reason that the twine that goes around the flakes of the small bale, seem kind of loose; the full bale is still tightly compressed by the 2 outside and the 1 center string. When those full bale strings are cut, the bale will decompress some and the small bale strings will tighten up. It was not mentioned what the full bale weights are, but the small bales, the way this one is setup making 7 small bales, will be 1/7 of the large bale weight. The small bales here are about 14 inches thick, so that would be somewhere between 4 to 7 flakes in each small bale.

You really should have cut it open this is a great feature that is still basically a mystery to people in North America

How do the bales weigh?

How is that 870 baler still performing ?

[@kronenation783]

I believe the guy is still running it, It was the first 870 on the east coast. They went from doing small squares to this so they could speed up their operation.

How do your customers like the small bales? What are your bale weights

[@kronenation783]

The is a customers baler, he is getting individual small square weights around 70lbs. His main hay customer seems to like it because they can bring a large bale into the barn and then split it up.

What bale wagon is best for the 1270 or 870?
