ZR5-1200 SELF-PROPELLED BALER

This first of its kind – the ZR5-1200 self-propelled baler makes quick work of any field while offering an unprecedented level of operator comfort and maneuverability. Automating parts of the baling process, the ZR5-1200 aims to reduce the number of steps an operator must complete to make a bale as well as provide the ability to automatically make real-time adjustments based on field, crop and operator inputs. Get ready to go big time and let the ZR5-1200 change the way you put up hay.

Big-time operators need a big-time machine to do big-time things.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Patent-pending suspension technology

Unprecedented ride quality is achieved through patent-pending suspension technology. Operators experience a smoother, more comfortable ride with the cab uniquely positioned over the suspension.

Zero-turn capability

Spend less time turning and more time baling with the zero-turn capability of the ZR5. When it’s time to drive on the road, switch to Transport Mode which disengages the zero-turn capability.

Automated components

Key parts of the baling process are automated when using the ZR5-1200. When the desired bale size is achieved, the machine will stop automatically, begin tying, quarter turn for bale ejection (if desired), open and close the tailgate and return to where it was in the windrow. To begin baling again, simply push the “Go” button.

Ease of maintenance

Maintenance is easy to perform with the ZR5-1200. In just a few minutes, the bale chamber can be removed to perform maintenance. Once maintenance is complete, it can just as easily be reinstalled.

Integrated quarter-turn technology

Integrated quarter-turn technology allows the operator to eject bales to the right, left or straight back. Using the left or right option, bales are positioned parallel with the windrow allowing for more efficiency when picking up bales. When loading bales positioned using the quarter-turn technology, the process of picking up bales can be up to 35% faster.

Increased transport speeds

Transport speeds of 30+ mph (48.3+ km/h) allow operators to quickly get from field to field or home after a long day of baling.
