Manufactured in Poland with final assembly in the U.S., the baler features manual start automatic single twine ties, hydraulically adjustable 55-in. wide pickups with gauge wheels, selector valves for 1 or 2-spool hydraulics, four-tine bars, 82.5-in. wheel track, and four roll twine box capacity. Options include dual twine tie, mechanical net wrap, bale kicker, and safety light kit. Model 2046, which makes 4 by 4-ft. bales weighing up to 1,100 lbs., sells for $13,000.
