With their abilities to make perfectly sized and shaped bales — without the guesswork — new John Deere 8 Series Round Balers really get noticed. Here’s how:

Faster baling in big windrows — With the new roller baffle on the MegaWide pickup you can bale even faster without worrying about plugs.

Smooth, fast ride on rough ground — The new extra-large tire option is perfect for baling over uneven fields or pivot-tracked ground.

Decreased ground compaction — Not only do new optional tandem axles fit on nearly all 8 Series Round Balers (except the 458 Standard), they also retrofit back to the John Deere 6 and 7 Series Balers.

Bale longer — A re-designed twine storage area now holds up to 10 balls of twine. You get you more time between stops for reloading.

Top durability — These balers are also equipped with drive chains and sprockets built heavier, stronger for increased service life. Combine these with the all-new DiamondTough™ belts, and reliability is at an all-time high. These new belts are more puncture and tear resistant than previous belts, giving you even greater resilience.

Quick, easy maintenance — Greasing hard-to-reach places is now much easier with new standard drop-down lube lines on all CoverEdge™ balers.
