Following the introduction of the first HayBoss automatic applicator in 1996,
this has revolutionised hay and straw baling and brought it into the 21st
century..
HayBoss has become a leading name for precision equipment for the baler
market. 2008 saw the Massey Ferguson large square baler become
applicator ready from the Hesston factory.
In 2011 HayBoss entered the UK and Irish market giving the hay producer a
highly accurate and flexible system utilising the latest in precision application
technology and Baler’s Choice preservative. It is also commonly used by
straw baling operators to clear fields more quickly allowing tight rotational
timings to be followed.
In 2013 HayBoss was launched into various European markets ready for
operators to benefit from all the advantages that precision HayBoss
equipment offers.
The latest HayBoss development is full integration utilising ISOBUS
technology ready for fitting on new balers and also retro fitting to pre-owned
balers with suitable ISOBUS compatibility and the option to use your iPad® to
control the system through Bluetooth. All 100 Series non-ISOBUS balers can
utilise an iPad®.

Technology for all farmers producing hay and straw
The latest HayBoss equipment is based around a precision moisture meter,
and now offers ISOBUS compatibility with extra high output systems for the
highest capacity balers or the option to control the system using an iPad®.
Depending on the operator’s requirements Baler’s Choice preservative will
allow hay and straw to be baled at higher than normal moisture whilst still
maintaining quality.
The marking of high moisture bales and the full traceability of the bales is
possible with HayBoss. GPS yield mapping compliments the options for the
growers who utilise combine yield mapping and variable rate fertiliser
application.
HayBoss has been developed to withstand all the demands of modern
agriculture whilst delivering increased baler output and producing the highest
quality hay and straw with the use of Baler’s Choice preservative.

If you want consistent quality of your hay and straw then utilising the
right equipment is essential.
HayBoss is suitable for all sizes of baler and is a market leader for
moisture accuracy and moisture range application equipment and
traceability.

FROM MASSEY FERGUSON
Maximise your baler output with up to 30%
more work per day
Baler’s Choice Preservative is non-corrosive with a pH of 6.0, so that the machinery is kept corrosion-free
and the operator handles a much safer product.
Using Baler’s Choice will allow the operator to gain on average 30% more output per day, due to starting
earlier and finishing later. In a good year or dry climate approximately 20% of the hay is still spoilt or sub
standard due to moisture fluctuations in the crop. Most of the crop may be dry (below 16% moisture) but
there will inevitably be some that is not and it is the damp crop which must be treated to prevent spoilage.
The HayBoss system will continually monitor moisture and apply Baler’s Choice correctly, as moisture levels
can fluctuate by up to 5% along a 100m swath.
● Baler’s Choice is between 2—3 times stronger than other
hay preservative products on the market
Baler’s Choice will keep your baler in good condition
The main reasons why costs are higher when using substandard products:
● If the operator bales at a maximum of 80t/hr
with a large square baler (4.7L/T of Baler’s Choice), with a
weaker product at three times the application rate per tonne,
the output will be significantly reduced to 33t/hr
● Increased down time due to refilling tank more times per day
● Substandard acids and poorly buffered acid based products will corrode the
baler and increase cost on wearing parts, such as bearings and
pickup cams
There is no substitute for the highest quality and low operating cost that Baler’s
Choice offers every baler operator and end user!

600 Series Large Square ISOBUS Automatic Modules and Applicator
Once the perfect bale has been made
make sure it stays that way
Module 1
Moisture Monitor is the base building block for the HayBoss system. The Moisture Monitor is a read only
system that links directly through a compatible baler’s CANBUS system, utilising the baler’s power supply. The
moisture meters are accurate to within 1 percentage point and are unrivalled in the field with a range from 872%. The moisture meter utilises two star wheels that penetrate the bale each side of the chamber. All Massey
Ferguson 2100 and 2200 Series large balers are HayBoss ready from the factory. This means that the
components that you want can be installed from new or retrofitted at a later point. If you wish to add additional
HayBoss components at a later point, a companion kit will need to be installed to provide additional power to
upgrade the Moisture Monitor system.
Module 2
Moisture Pro is a ‘plugin and play’ moisture reading system that is able to accept any of the other HayBoss
modules, in any combination, depending on your individual requirements without the need for a companion kit.
Job records are fully downloadable with Moisture Pro.
The star wheel is located behind the knotter. It takes a reading
nine times per second and averages every three seconds for
supreme accuracy.

Knowing your accurate moisture is
important - what next?
Module 3
The Bale Marker is the easy and cost effective method to mark the bales that have high moisture spots. The Bale
Marker is linked directly into the Moisture Pro system, if you are using Module 1 Moisture Monitor remember to ask
for the companion kit.
Once the alarm point has been set by the operator, the Bale Marker will spray a red food grade dye onto the bale
flakes that have moisture readings above the alarm point. Marking high moisture bales allows the operator to store
only bales within their preferred moisture range. All the marked bales can be stored separately as the quality of these
high moisture bales will be reduced and so they will dry out and not damage surrounding bales.
If high moisture bales are stored with the preferred moisture bales this will cause the preferred moisture bales to spoil
as well, due to moistures equalising in the stack. Dye Spray marking is a sure way to keep unwanted moisture from
the stack helping the operator to maximise returns from good quality forage and straw bales.

Module 4
The HayBoss Applicator can be ordered as a complete unit with moisture meter included. Adding the applicator module
to your moisture meter allows you to automatically apply the correct amount of Baler’s Choice preservative on those
higher moisture bales. The system will not only keep track of the moisture levels of the bales, but will also display and
record the amount of preservative being applied and also how much was used per individual bale. HayBoss is
automatically paused, using sensors on the pickup, when no crop is entering the baler.
HayBoss needs bale weight and length to calculate baling speed in order to accurately adjust to changes in crop
conditions throughout the day.

Crop Detection
The ECU is the heart
of the HayBoss
system
Controlled by the ECU, the system includes a 420 litre tank that mounts on top of the bale chamber, a three-pump
system, a spray shield located in the baler’s pick up and all the pipe work and cables required to apply Baler’s Choice.
Taking the moisture readings from the star wheels nine times a second, the automatic system adjusts the application
rate every three seconds to match the condition of the hay or straw. This precision gives the operator the exact amount
of product required to keep the crop in great condition without wasting Baler’s Choice.
When a weigh scale is fitted to the baler, HayBoss will take actual readings to increase the accuracy further. HayBoss
automatically adjusts the setting for bale length when the baler is fitted with electronic bale length.
Utilising two spray tips per pump, with the option of
three spray tips for baling up to 100 tonnes per
hour
When HayBoss is fitted to 100 Series balers or non-ISOBUS integrated machines, then the operator uses bale length
sensors on the moisture star wheel and also estimates bale weight.

Module 5
The Tagger can be added to the HayBoss Moisture Pro system or the complete HayBoss automatic
applicator, taking hay and straw producers and their operations to the next level.
This system allows operators to take the
specific bale information gathered by the
ECU and transfer that information directly to
the RFID tag, which is attached to the twine.
The valuable information on the tag is read
with a scanning device and displayed on the
scanner’s display. The tag does not have to
be in visual contact with the scanner, as the
system works via RFID frequency.
The scanner can be hand-held, mounted on
a tractor or loader, or even set up as a portal
scanner that an entire load can drive
through.
The bale information is written to the tag as it leaves the bale
chamber.
*Currently not available in all markets. Please check for availability.
11
A permanent vinyl tag is wrapped around the twine and each tag
holds a radio frequency identification chip that stores the
valuable individual bale information.
Tags can be read in three
different ways. When the tags
are scanned they are powered
up by the RFID signal from the
scanner so the data can be
read.

GPS yield mapping for accurate fertiliser utilisation. GPS
location is also assigned to the tag for bale location when
traceability is required for straw biomass plants or the hay

600 & 400T Series Automatic baler applicators for small square balers
HayBoss 600 Series & 400T Series Automatic
applicators for small square balers
The HayBoss 600 Series and 400T Series Automatic applicators are built and designed for the professional farmer,
contractor or specialist hay producer and will accurately apply Baler’s Choice onto hay and straw with moisture contents up
to 30% to prevent heating and mould growth. The HayBoss applicator will cope with the high output and demand of the
professional large scale farmer, specialist hay producer and farm contractor using a conventional small square baler with
baling speeds upto 36 tonnes per hour.
The HayBoss 600 Series and 400T Series use an accurate star wheel system, combined with a baling rate sensor to
measure how fast the star wheel revolves. Based on the bale weight and length, the HayBoss applicator measures the baling
speed and continually adjusts pump output to meet the required Baler’s Choice application rate.
Automatic bale rate sensors measure the baling speed, which
continually alters as crop density changes. Application of
Baler’s Choice is continually monitored to match baling speed
changes and moisture fluctuations.
600 and 400T Series utilises the three pump system. Each
pump is turned on individually as required and each pump’s
output is automatically altered. The pump selection and
output is determined by baling speed, bale weight and
moisture readings.

Electronic Manual applicator for round and small square balers
When quality is important for the
smaller producer
The HayBoss electronic manual applicator is available for all makes and model of baler. It is a single
variable output pump, which is controlled in the cab. The operator uses the operating manual to
determine the tonnes per hour baling speed of the baler.
Based on the highest readings from the moisture meter the operator will then select tips and
pressure to apply Baler’s Choice preservative. The applicator requires less initial capital expenditure
but will use on average 25% more preservative because hay and straw needs to be treated for the
highest moisture readings that are being baled, whereas in contrast the automatic system follows
the moisture up and down during the baling process.
Crop eyes can be added as an option to automatically
pause the HayBoss unit when no crop is passing over the
pickup.
Moisture readings for the manual system are provided from
the H8-FX2000. This unit will give a continuous chamber
reading when connected to a 12volt supply. When the
operator wishes to test a swath or bale the unit can run off
a battery for hand testing.
H8-FX2000 provides a good guide for small square balers
when fitted close to the plunger on the cut side of the bale
to pick up stem moisture. For round balers placing the pad
15-25mm from the bottom roller will generate a good
reading due to the action of the rotating bale against the
pad.
For large square balers, using Moisture Monitor is the most
accurate and advanced way to monitor the moisture in the
bale, with the flexibility to add the fully automatic applicator
to maximise the baler’s capacity.
The control box for the manual applicator has
an on/off switch and a dial to control pump
output.
