Bundler Scale Kit
T500 Bundler Scale Kit: The T500 scale is designed for Bale Baron and Bale Bandit applications used in rebale setups. This uses the same technology as our F500 and Q500 scales. You will need to mount the scale directly in front of the location that the bale is pulled into the bundling system. *Please note that this system does NOT work on mobile Bale Baron setups. We are actively working on a solution for that application.
