MegaWide™ pickup with MegaTough™ pickup teeth provide added durability
The pickup is designed and built by John Deere in Ottumwa, Iowa. The John Deere MegaWide large square balers (LSBs) pickups use a low-profile pickup drum with a large-diameter roller baffle to efficiently pick crop up from the field. The performance of the roller baffle compressing the crop against the pickup tines means more crop in the bale and fewer leaves and crop left in the field.
2.2-m (7.2-ft) wide pickup is available on the L331R and L341R Baler
Available with standard or premium components
Tooth-to-tooth width is 1.92 m (76 in.)
Eight staggered tooth bars help prevent overload
Standard semi-pneumatic fixed gauge wheels provide smooth ground gauging over uneven terrain and protection to the pickup
2.5-m (8.1-ft) wide pickup is available on the L341R Baler
Available only with premium components
Tooth-to-tooth width is 2.18 m (86 in.)
Eight staggered tooth bars help prevent overload
Standard semi-pneumatic pivoting gauge wheels reduce sliding and scuffing of the tires in the field when the baler turns
MegaWide pickup makes it easier to produce better-shaped bales and improves crop pickup in wide, windblown, or scattered windrows
MegaTough pickup teeth provide greater strength and durability
Chain driven for positive feeding
Mechanical cutout clutch protection for added durability
Mega and MegaTough pickup teeth are base equipment:
Mega pickup teeth, at the ends of the pickup, are heavy-duty for long life and improved crop retrieval
MegaTough pickup teeth are designed to withstand the harshest baling conditions and provide long service life
Both pickup widths use a heavy, C-channel construction for the toothbar assembly. The pickup toothbars are divided into two half sections that mount to a center spider for increased strength and even crop feeding.
Semi-pneumatic gauge wheels provide smooth ground gauging over uneven terrain and protection to the pickup.
Stiffer rubber sidewalls
No air pressure to maintain, which means no flat tires
Adjustable to meet pickup tooth-to-stubble height requirements
Converging wheels are available on the 2.2-m (7.2-ft) pickup to increase the overall feeding width to 2.8 m (9.2 ft):
The pickup float springs are positioned for excellent flotation.
Adjustable to meet varying field conditions
Float springs only support the pickup reel
Rotor assembly is fixed to the baler frame, eliminating additional weight on the pickup system
Premium MegaWide™ pickup
The premium MegaWide pickup is available for the L331 and L341 Large Square Balers. The premium pickup offers larger components to increase the durability and reliability of the pickup.
Changes to the premium MegaWide pickup include:
