Hayboss 700 Applicator

Yes — the Hayboss 700 Applicator is designed to help hay producers improve preservative application accuracy, monitor bale moisture more effectively, and reduce downtime during busy haying windows.

Southern Alberta hay producers regularly deal with changing moisture conditions, wind, and tight baling timelines. The Hayboss 700 system helps operators monitor moisture across the width of the bale while improving preservative application consistency.

For producers managing large acreages or custom hay operations, reducing plugging, minimizing maintenance, and improving application reliability can help maintain productivity during long days in the field.

The Hayboss 700 uses dual star wheel sensors to monitor moisture across the entire bale width, helping operators make more informed baling decisions.

The system is capable of reading crop moisture levels ranging from 5% up to 70%. This wide moisture detection range helps producers better manage varying crop conditions throughout the day.

Key moisture monitoring advantages include:

• Side-to-side bale moisture readings
• Improved preservative application accuracy
• Better visibility into changing crop conditions
• Support for more consistent hay quality

In prairie conditions where moisture can shift quickly between fields or throughout the day, reliable monitoring can help operators avoid overly dry or excessively wet bales.

The Hayboss 700 series introduced several functional and efficiency-focused improvements designed to improve reliability and reduce maintenance demands.

Compared to earlier systems, the Hayboss 700 includes updated pump, flow meter, wiring, and software designs intended to improve overall application performance.

Key design improvements include:

• Single bypass pump design with pulsating solenoid valves to help hold preservative and reduce plugging
• Deutsch plugs that help reduce moisture interference, deter drawbar corrosion, and prevent power loss
• Internal wheel encoder design that helps prevent twine interference
• Updated flow metre and larger tip design for improved reliability with a wider range of preservatives
• Reduced component count to simplify maintenance requirements
• Software management upgrades that allow settings adjustments during operation
• Improved job recording functionality for switching between fields without losing stored data

The Hayboss 700 is designed to reduce interruptions, simplify operation, and help operators maintain efficiency during demanding haying conditions.

Southern Alberta hay operations often work within narrow weather windows where downtime can quickly impact productivity. Features aimed at reducing plugging, preventing sensor interference, and simplifying adjustments can help keep baling operations moving.

Operational productivity benefits include:

• Reduced maintenance complexity
• More consistent preservative flow
• Improved in-field adjustability
• Better record management between fields

These features can be especially useful for large-acre hay operations, custom balers, and producers working across multiple field locations.

We typically recommend the Hayboss 700 Applicator for producers looking to improve bale moisture management and preservative application consistency during high-volume hay production.

The system can be a strong fit for:

• Large hay operations
• Custom baling crews
• Mixed farming operations producing forage
• Operators managing variable crop moisture conditions
• Producers wanting improved application monitoring
