The adjustable hay compressor mounts to and floats with the pickup and helps to maintain the same relationship to the pickup teeth at all operating heights.
The hay compressor also controls hay for continuous positive delivery to the auger.
The hay compressor is adjustable to nine positions to maintain positive control of hay in either large and heavy or light and fluffy windrows.
It can easily be removed with two spring pins for access to the auger or feed opening.
The deep-flighted auger continuously moves hay away from the pickup to the pre-compression chamber:
Adds to the overall capacity
Produces higher-quality hay
Allows minimal crop contact with pickup teeth, which minimizes leaf loss
The free-floating auger raises or lowers to match and maintain control of incoming crop.
Hay turns in the tapered auger housing, which enables the feeder forks to fold each charge as it enters the bale case to produce uniform bales. The crop is pre-compressed for better bale uniformity.
The auger system has few moving parts for less wear and less chance of untimely breakdowns.
The pickup teeth and narrow, flanged strippers extend to the flare on both sides of the pickup. This enables full, usable pickup width for feeding wide windrows.
Closely-spaced pickup teeth gather all of the hay in wide, heavy windrows.

Narrow-channel strippers positioned closely together help preserve leaves and short material to add more quality to the bale.
The pickup is 188-cm (74-in.) wide on flare and offset 25.4 cm (10 in.) to the right of the bale case.
The full width of the pickup can be utilized without the tractor tires operating on the windrow.
The belt drives used to power the pickup are virtually trouble-free and eliminate the need for slip clutches.
