Bale Monitor Helps Adjust On The Fly
The Baler Performance Monitor BPM-101 from AgXcellence helps make perfect bales. The stroke/flake counter helps ensure bales are uniform in length and weight. First introduced in 2014, it’s been updated with new options. However, it still works with any small square baler, old or new.
“We’ve gone to a custom-made monitor for easier viewing, even if wearing sunglasses,” says Greg Hutchinson, AgXcellence. “We also added an optional moisture sensor and a GPS ground speed sensor for use with older tractors or self-propelled balers without GPS. The ground speed sensor lets the operator know how fast to go for current conditions and the correct speed to return to after turning at the end of a windrow.”
Each optimal moisture sensor pad adds $119.99 to the $1,299.99 price of the standard Baler Performance Monitor. The GPS ground speed sensor is $299.99. With all options, the monitor tops out at $1,720.
“The monitor is designed so the user can buy it without any options and add them later,” says Hutchinson. “We’ve sold them throughout the U.S. and shipped some to Canada and Australia.”
