Round Balers For Sale in New Zealand

Allis-Chalmers is largely credited with being among the first companies to produce round balers beginning in the 1940s, but Vermeer reportedly changed round baler history in the early 1970s when Gary Vermeer had the idea of building a one-man hay system. That Vermeer model became the first modern round baler. Vermeer also created the first fully continuous round baler, alleviating the need for farmers to stop to unload one bale before starting another, while the overall industry has worked toward building balers that make the densest, roundest bales possible even in challenging crop and field conditions.

Round balers, referred to more generally as hay balers, are the most common type of balers used today, creating bales typically between 1.2 and 1.8 metres in diameter and 1.5 metres wide, which are bound with netting or twine. In addition to Allis-Chalmers and Vermeer, you’ll find new and used round balers for sale from John Deere, Case IH, CLAAS, Hesston, New Holland, McHale, Massey-Ferguson, Krone, and others.

Some models of round balers include a built-in bale wrapper, which will wrap the finished bale in plastic or a similar material to better preserve each bale. You’ll also find standalone bale wrappers for sale, along with bale handlers and bale unrollers that, as the name suggests, help with unrolling the bales for feeding.
