Product Description

Take Total Control of Your Harvest

In Ireland, the window for perfect hay is often measured in hours, not days. Harvest Tec’s applicator systems allow you to start earlier in the morning and work later into the evening. By applying a precision-metered dose of Baler’s Choice (buffered propionic acid), you prevent the heating and mould that typically ruin high-moisture bales.

Why Choose an Automatic Applicator?

  • Real-Time Precision: The system reads moisture levels every 3 seconds and instantly adjusts the application rate.

  • Zero Waste: Unlike manual systems, the automatic controller ensures you only use the exact amount of preservative required—no more, no less.

  • Preserve Nutrients: Baling at higher moisture (16-30%) retains more leaves and green colour, resulting in higher Relative Feed Value (RFV) and better palatability for livestock.

Choose Your Performance Tier:

1. Series 700 – The Commercial Standard

The most advanced applicator for high-output large square, round, and small square balers.

  • ISOBUS Integrated: Operates directly through your tractor’s virtual terminal or a tablet.

  • Single Bypass Pump: Highly reliable design with pulsating solenoids for instant response to moisture changes.

  • Full Data Logging: Tracks total tons baled, average moisture, and total product used for every job.

  • Deutsch Connectivity: Rugged, moisture-sealed wiring designed for the toughest field conditions.

2. Series 300 – Compact & Efficient

Designed for round and small square balers, offering automatic control at a more accessible price point.

  • Bluetooth Control: Use your iPad/Tablet as the primary display.

  • Simplified Design: Fast installation with the same accurate moisture sensing as the 700 series.

  • Consistent Quality: Automatically handles moisture fluctuations to ensure every bale is protected.

3. Electronic Manual Applicators

The entry-level solution for smaller operations.

  • In-Cab Control: Manually adjust application rates via a simple dial and toggle switch.

  • Reliable Protection: A cost-effective way to start using preservatives without the need for full automation.

Powerful Optional Add-Ons

Customise your system to match your operation’s needs:

  • Crop Eyes (End-of-Row Sensors): Automatically pauses the application when the baler is empty, preventing waste during headland turns.

  • Dye Marker Kit: Marks high-moisture bales with a food-grade red stripe so you can easily identify and separate them in the stack.

  • GPS & Yield Mapping: Link your application data with GPS to create high-resolution dry matter yield maps for your fields.
