New Holland, PA (August 10, 2007) -  Hauling, loading and stacking square bales without back-breaking manual labor is easier than ever with New Holland’s H9800 Series automatic bale wagons. The two self-propelled models in the new H9800 Series now have the versatility to handle big, square bales as well as small, square bales.

The H9870 is designed for three-bale-wide stacks of 14 x 18-inch or 16 x 18-inch bales. The H9880 loads 16 x 18-inch two-tie bales and a variety of three-tie bales.

Both models can now accommodate the MIL-STAK® bale converter attachment that permits handling loads of 15 3’ x 3’ bales or ten 3’ x 4’ bales, five bales high. This saves considerable time and boosts efficiency because an accumulator isn’t needed to pick up the big, square bales, nor is manual handling required to load them onto a truck.

A new, heavy-duty front axle allows H9800 Series bale wagons to accept the payload requirements of the MIL-STAK large bale handling attachment. The MIL-STAK bale converter is attached with bolts and hydraulic quick couplers and can be easily removed or attached to switch between picking up large and small square bales.

With the H9800 Series, machine functions are controlled electronically from the cab. The Stack Command™ control system has a large digital display that is easy to read and use. It provides up to 35 pre-programmed stack patterns as well as room for 20 custom patterns.
