“Automatic bale wagons save time in the hay field. Two new self-propelled wagons introduced by New Holland this past summer make the job seem effortless, thus earning the implements the top spot in the feed equipment category. “The BW28 and BW38 feature a new Stack Command™ control system located in a comfortable cab. The controls include a large digital display with up to 35 preprogrammed stack patterns and 20 custom patterns. The wagons are equipped with a five-speed automatic transmission and two hydraulic systems with three pumps. “The BW28 has a long frame and load rack that handles a variety of two-tie and three-tie bales. The BW38 handles three-bale-wide stacks of 14×18in. or 16×18in. bales.”
