- Watch baler pressure and other settings remotely from a separate monitor or computer.
- Adjust baler pressure and other settings remotely from a separate monitor.
- Up to 300’ operating range.
- Ideal for crew managers who are in the same field with multiple balers running.
- Ideal for rebale setups to give control to someone in a nearby loader.
- One time upfront cost, no recurring fees.
LTE Remote Monitoring
- Monitor bale production, strokes/min, previous flake counts, and bale weights from afar.
- Watch baler pressure and other settings remotely from a separate monitor or computer.
- Ideal for crew managers who are in different fields or farms.
- Ideal for customers who want more flexibility.
- Gain access to remote software updates.
- Requires cell phone service and yearly data plan to operate.
Telematics | Frequently Asked Questions
Bale monitoring can significantly enhance your hay production by providing real-time data on essential factors like bale weight, density, and moisture content. This information allows you to make immediate adjustments to your baling process, resulting in consistent quality and improved efficiency. By tracking plunger speed and flake count, you can produce more uniform bales, reducing waste and maximizing your yield. Many farmers report increased productivity and improved bale quality after implementing a bale monitoring system.
Yes. By tracking key metrics like quantity, moisture content, and flake distribution, farmers can avoid producing bales that are too wet, too dry, or unevenly formed—common causes of waste. Having precise data on each bale promotes quality control, maximizing yields and profits across a variety of crops, including salt marsh hay or cotton.
Yes, BestBale™ monitoring systems are designed to be compatible with most baler brands and models. Our versatile systems can be installed on various types of balers, including those from major manufacturers like John Deere, Massey Ferguson, and New Holland. We understand the diversity of equipment in the farming industry and have developed our products to be adaptable to different baler configurations.
With real-time data, farmers can make immediate decisions to adjust bale length and control moisture levels for compact bales of consistent quality. This connectivity helps reduce waste and increases efficiency, as you can quickly fine-tune your baler settings to produce bales that meet your exact needs—whether for silage, hay, or flax straw.
Yes, as the Remote Plus app requires an annual data fee to operate. Our other option is an In-Field Remote Bale System that uses a one-time equipment purchase with no annual fees.
