TLDR:
New Holland has released an automated baling technology called IntelliSense Bale Automation that combines auto guidance and speed control to allow the tractor to navigate windrows and control its own speed. The technology uses a lidar sensor attached to the cab of the tractor to direct it along the windrow in real time. The baler controls the speed of the tractor, adjusting it according to the number of slices per bale and a maximum speed limit set by the operator. The system is currently compatible with New Holland’s model year 2022 and 2023 BigBaler Large Square Balers, and Class 3 ISOBUS tractors. Starting in 2025, customers will be able to order the IntelliSense Bale Automation system as a factory option.
