engage the drive. The operator has better control of bale ejection as opposed to competitive
spring-loaded ejectors."
The hydraulic-actuated bale ejector and the hydraulic pickup lift are standard on the
6464 and 6465 and available as options on the 6454. The New Idea 6465 features the widest
pickup area of the three models with an inside panel to panel width of 83.6 inches (2123 mm).
Bale size indicated both visually and on the operator-friendly monitor can be selected from a
minimum of 32 inches (813 mm) to 72 inches (1829 mm) and a width of 61.5 inches (1562 mm).
A 90 PTO horsepower (67 kW) tractor is recommended for optimum performance over a variety
of terrain and crop levels.
The 6454 and 6464 silage models are equipped with endless belts and special scrapers
and rollers to reduce material buildup in wetter crops. The silage balers are equally effective
baling dry hay.
The 6454 and 6464 balers have a pickup width of 66 inches (1,680 mm) and produce
bales with a width of 46.5 inches (1182 mm). Operators can select bale diameters from 32
inches (813 mm) to a maximum of 72 inches (1829 mm) on the New Idea 6464 and from 30
inches (762 mm) to 60 inches (1524 mm) on the 6454. Bale size on the 6464 and 6465 is shown
on the monitor, while the 6454 offers a visual gauge for bale size.
"Regardless of what size bale a hay producer wants, the New Idea 6400s start bales
faster, handle heavier crops and build better bales," says Boone. "Add the optional mesh wrap,
and these high performance balers shift production into an even faster mode with no reduction in
quality or consistency."
