Read full descriptionHide full description
New Holland Bale Manager provides creation of custom invoices by capturing data from the baler. Your New Holland Roll-Belt® baler must be equipped with a New Holland Bale Manager App Kit which can be purchased from your local New Holland dealer. The kit contains a module which collects and transmits Baler and Job data to the device via a Bluetooth connection. This data is used to fill out individual job records with bale count, bale size, average moisture (if equipped) and bale density (if equipped). This app can be a useful tool for monitoring and capturing specific baling job details. Features include: • Easily export data from your device using text, email or send directly to a printer • Create printable documents in Portable Document Format (.pdf) • Export billing records in Quicken® Interchange Format (.qif) • Easy to navigate baler data with search and filter capabilities This app will only work on New Holland Roll-Belt™ series round balers equipped with Bale Command™ II Plus electronics. This app is not compatible with ISOBUS version balers or Standard Twine Only versions.
