New Holland's BigBaler large square baler has been awarded the 2012 Good Design accolade.
This award was conferred on the BigBaler range by the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies in recognition of its design and styling.
"This award recognises that New Holland’s distinctive design and styling are fundamental for efficient agriculture" said Bob Hatz, Product Director at New Holland Agriculture.
"From the hallmark sculpted side shields, to the single piece fully opening hood, the BigBaler represents the perfect distillation of New Holland’s harvesting spirit."
"The BigBaler has not only increased capacity by up to 20% and density by up to 5%, but it has also revolutionised large square baler styling: increasing productivity and enhancing the operator experience as never before."
Internationally awarded
This award cements the BigBaler's segment-leading position on both sides of the Atlantic.
The recent North American AE50 award focused on the BigBaler’s unsurpassed productivity and efficiency, with outputs as high as 110 bales/hour.
A sought-after Silver Innovation Medal was bestowed on the BigBaler by the jury from the Sima Exhibition, which will take place in Paris, France in February, the judges were particularly impressed by the outstanding safety features and its operator friendly design.
Features
