BestBale in the Field

Covering the USA and beyond
BestBale systems are running across hay country, giving operators better visibility, control, and confidence from the cab.
Trusted around the world
Systems running in Canada, the United States, South Africa, and Australia.
The Same Themes Keep Showing Up
Different states, different balers, and different operations — but the feedback keeps coming back to the same core benefits.
Less stopping
Customers talk about not having to stop, get out, check bale weights, or constantly adjust pressure.
Better weight control
Scales help operators see bale weight from the cab and keep their bales on target.
More consistent bales
Flake counters help operators manage ground speed and flakes per bale, which leads to more uniform, consistent bales.
More production
Flake counters, pressure control, and better visibility help operators keep baling instead of guessing.

Customer Photo
“The BestBale kits are game changers. Anybody who is baling small bales should have them on their baler. I paid for mine after first cutting alone with the savings. Our customers love the hay we’re able to put up now. BestBale makes our bales so much more consistent, we’re confident advertising bale weights now, and our flake counts are the perfect size for our horse customers to feed. BestBale is the only way to go.”

“This is cheating.”
“After we ran the BestBales, we had to take the competitor’s scale system off the owner’s wife’s baler because she wanted the BestBale. Now nobody has to stop and get out to make pressure adjustments, and we know our weights are right on where we set them. Our hay buyers love them because the truck weights are always predictable.”
“We love our BestBales. Now we can just get in and go. We’ve eliminated somebody driving behind us checking bale weights. We should have had these a long time ago.”
“We purchased two scales to try, and shortly after running those we realized we needed two more. We’ve been impressed with the scales, they are right on. The screen is also easy to use and understand, you don’t need a manual to figure it out.”

“There’s no other way to bale hay. I can outbale everyone else in the field because I don’t have to stop. Now they call me and ask what pressure I’m running so they can make faster adjustments. They need the BestBale! I’m a believer for life.”

“Works just like it was advertised. We are very happy with the quarter turn scales on our Hesston 4690 and love being able to not only see the bale weights, but watch Auto Mode control the pressure automatically. It’s one less thing to worry about for an operator.”
Repeat Customer
“We love our BestBale scales. They keep us right on target, and we know exactly what weight we’re baling. With the Gazeeka moisture numbers on the screen, we have all our necessary information right there in front of us. Highly recommend the Pro kit.”
Repeat Customer
“This makes us unbelievably more efficient. After we ran the first one, we bought another one right away.”

“You need a BestBale scale if you’re going to run a steamer, that’s for sure. It helps keep everything on target and consistent. With the price of small square bales today, I don’t see how you can bale hay without one.”
Customer Review
“I really appreciate the BestBale team’s help as we learn the system. It is awesome to have this much control on this baler. The BestBale scales are on point.”
High Volume
“The BestBale kits work really well. We just put up 70,000 bales with them on our two TwinPaks over the last few days.”
Customer Photo
“It works really well. The flake counter is our speedometer, and the scales keep our weights on target. AutoSTEAM works really well to keep our steam percentage where it needs to be.”
Cab-Less Tractor
“The display is self-explanatory and easy to use. It works well even on a cab-less tractor.”

“Good morning, just letting you know the BestBale system on my double Massey is working phenomenal. The Bale Butler is working excellent also. It is working perfectly.”
Lite Series
“We can push these balers to the max and get the most production out of them because of the flake counters. Everybody with a baler should have, at a bare minimum, a flake counter.”
Lite 430
“We really like our flake counter. We knew as soon as we baled the first field with it that we were going to need another one for the other baler.”
“I really like having a flake counter on my baler, and the BestBale Lite Series works exactly as advertised. We’ve been really happy with it.”
Dealer Review
“Out in the field today. We love your counter and slice counter. It is working perfectly.”
Dealer Perspective
“Bale weight is too important to ignore. My customers running Kubota double balers need accurate scales, which means they need the BestBale system. The scales with AutoSTEAM are the best option on the market. We’ll be selling quite a few systems down here.”
“There is no other way to bale than with the BestBale system. Every small baler should have a kit on it.”
“Our scales work really well, especially when paired with steamers. We are able to bale confidently now that we can see every bale weight. I’m going to need another kit as soon as I buy another baler.”
“I don’t know how I baled before without my BestBale. Now I don’t even have to stop and get out to check bales or adjust pressure. I’m spoiled now.”
Customer Photo
“I love my BestBales. I can put anybody in them and know they’re not going to mess up any hay, and I can bundle behind them without having to stop and check their weights all the time. We are a much more efficient operation now because of them. I probably should buy one to go on my spare baler just in case I need it.”
Customer Photo
“I broke a bale open to make sure the flake count was right. It was a perfect 10!”
