The MegaWide Classic pickup is an exclusive update to the 451E round baler feeding system. Providing a wider pickup and a spiral rotor for improved crop feeding and pickup capacity, the MegaWide Classic pickup works to increase baling efficiency.  Features include:

• 32 percent wider pickup (in comparison to the MegaWide pickup)
• 180-cm (71-in.) flare to flare width
• Regular Duty pickup teeth
• Shear Bolt Protection
• Guage Wheel package available
• Optional hydraulic pickup lift cylinder available

The small-diameter, low-profile pickup allows for good ground gauging and clean crop retrieval.

• Handles large, heavy windrows of hay and high-moisture crops
• Feeds hay directly to the forming chamber to reduce crop loss
• Low-profile pickup minimizes hay lift to reduce chaffing and retain hay quality

Compressor rods are contoured to control hay over the pickup radius for positive feeding. The compressor rack can be adjusted upward or downward to match the volume of material in the windrow and can be easily removed to match crop conditions.

The adjusting crank positions the pickup to the desired operating height to match crop or field conditions.

The G5e monitor-controller is included with the automatic electric twine tie option and the Edge-to-Edge net wrap option on the 451E Baler. The monitor sounds an alarm for near-full, full, and oversized bales.

• Monitor beeps once to notify the operator to even-up the bale prior to reaching the desired size.
• Monitor beeps twice when the bale reaches the desired size.some text
  • If the operator continues to feed hay into the baler, the monitor will sound continuously to warn of an oversized bale.
• Bale shape bars are in base on the 451E Round Balers.
• The 451E Round Balers allow for adjustment of twine settings from the cab by using the G5e monitor.
• The number of wraps on the Edge-to-Edge net wrap option on the 451E can be set with the G5e monitor.

The audible level of the monitor can be adjusted.

The G5e External Speaker is an optional attachment for G5e displays only.

• Provides increased volume levels for all G5e display notifications
• Assist baling operations in situations with high in-cab noise or for operators with hearing impairments
• Installed externally on harness for easy access
• Omits sound separate from G5e display speaker to increase volume up to 16 percent
• Manually adjust volume by turning front dial left or right

The external speaker device provides increased volume levels for all G5e display notifications. It will omit a sound separate from the G5e display to assist baling operations in situations with high in-cab noise or for operators with hearing impairments. It is installed externally on the harness and can have volume levels changed by manually turning the front dial left or right. Adding the external speaker increases G5e notification volume by 16 percent. The external speaker is optional and is available as an attachment.

The 1 Series Round Balers came standard with an adjustable hitch. This feature allows the hitch height to be adjusted to optimize crop-feeding performance. Due to the wide array of tractor tire sizes and drawbar heights, hitch adjustment may be necessary to get the proper feed opening of the baler. The adjustable hitch eliminates the need for the 51-mm (2-in.) thick tractor drawbar kit (AE57344) because it has a wider opening.

Benefits of the adjustable hitch:

• Ability to match baler to numerous tire sizes
• Allows for drawbar height to fall within 330 mm to 559 mm (13 in. to 22 in.) from the top of the drawbar to the ground
• Eliminates narrow feed opening on the baler which can cause plugging
• Allows pickup head to follow terrain without missing crop

All eight bolts must be used when adjusting the hitch.
