This solution is designed to automate bale shape formation by enabling a weaving mechanism, as opposed to a fixed hitch, to ensure ideal bale shape. This feature allows the baler to align with the tractor's movement in the field, effectively covering windrows of varying shape and volume</p> <p>With the use of bale shape sensors, Weave Automation optimizes crop collection and automates the process of packing of the bale chamber for the operator, eliminating the stress of managing both the tractor and baler</p> <h5>Benefits</h5> <div class="seccion-images"></div> <ul> <li><strong>Reduced Labor Costs</strong>: The need for highly skilled operators is diminished, leading to lower labor expenses while maintaining operational efficiency.</li> <li><strong>Decreased Operator Fatigue</strong>: Simplifying the baling process reduces operator strain, allowing for longer hours of productive work without the fatigue associated with manual management.</li> <li><strong>Consistent Bale Shape</strong>: The technology ensures the production of ideal bale shapes, independent of operator skill, resulting in higher quality bales every time.</li> <li><strong>Enhanced Bale Quality</strong>: Optimal bale shape contributes to increased bale life. Consistent shape and density prevent moisture infiltration, reducing the risk of premature fermentation and mold growth.</li> <li><strong>Streamlined Transportation and Storage</strong>: Properly packed and shaped bales are easier to handle, minimizing breakage and the need for rework during transport and storage.</li> </ul> <h5>Additional details</h5> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/hay_forage/features_attachment/round_baler/python_additional_features_image_705x300.jpg" alt="Baler with fixed hitch vs. baler with Weave Automation engaged.

Due to the wide array of tractor tire sizes and drawbar heights, hitch adjustment may be necessary to get the proper feed opening of the baler. The adjustable hitch eliminates the need for the 51-mm (2-in.) thick tractor drawbar kit (AE57344) because it has a wider opening.<br><br>Benefits of the adjustable hitch:</p> <ul> <li>Ability to match baler to numerous tire sizes</li> <li>Allows for drawbar height to fall within 330 mm to 559 mm (13 in. to 22 in.) from the top of the drawbar to the ground</li> <li>Eliminates narrow feed opening on the baler which can cause plugging</li> <li>Allows pickup head to follow terrain without missing crop</li> </ul> <p>All eight bolts must be used when adjusting the hitch.

Each automation mode is designed to reduce fatigue, improve bale consistency, and increase throughput across a wide range of field conditions and operator experience levels. These modes can be used independently or together, depending on tractor configuration and customer needs.</p> <h5>Benefits</h5> <div class="seccion-images"></div> <ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -33.75pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Reduced Operator Fatigue and Error</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br>Gate Automation eliminates the need for manual gate control, reducing repetitive tasks and minimizing the risk of premature gate opening or missed wrap cycles.
