Description :

Available in Bourbon, Indiana, this New Holland BR730 round baler for sale is being offered at $9,000, with the seller open to reasonable offers and motivated to sell. Showing less than 2,000 total bales, this machine has considerably less reported use than many older round balers currently available. The seller describes the baler as being in excellent condition and exceptionally well cared for.

For hay producers searching for a straightforward, lower-use round baler without the complexity of many newer machines, the BR730 deserves consideration. This model was designed to produce compact, manageable round bales approximately four feet wide and up to four feet in diameter, making it particularly useful for smaller hay operations, livestock farms, acreage owners, and producers who prefer a manageable 4×4 bale.

New Holland BR730 With Less Than 2,000 Bales

The standout feature of this particular machine is its reported bale count.

With fewer than 2,000 bales, the machine represents comparatively light use for a round baler of this generation. Bale count is especially important when evaluating used hay equipment because chains, bearings, pickup components, belts, rollers, and other wear points accumulate use each time material passes through the machine.

A low bale count alone does not replace an inspection, but it gives buyers an important piece of information when comparing this BR730 with other used balers.

The seller further describes the machine as having been exceptionally well cared for and in excellent condition.

Compact 4×4 Bale Size

The New Holland BR730 belongs to the BR700 Series of variable-chamber round balers.

Published New Holland information for the BR730 identifies the machine as producing bales approximately 46.5 inches wide, with bale diameter adjustable from approximately 30 to 48 inches. In practical terms, it is generally considered a 4×4-class round baler.

Published bale weights for the standard BR730 ranged approximately from 300 to 750 pounds, depending heavily on crop type, moisture, density settings, and bale diameter.

That smaller bale format can be attractive for operations that do not need the larger and heavier 4×5 or 5×6 bales produced by bigger machines.

The manageable bale size may also make the BR730 appealing to smaller livestock farms, horse operations, acreage owners, and producers working with tractors or bale-handling equipment better suited to lighter round bales.

Electric Twine Wrapping

The BR730 uses an electric twine wrapping system.

Manufacturer information indicates that the BR730 applies two twines using a pivoting arm controlled electrically from the tractor. Published specifications list storage capacity for four balls of twine.

Unlike several larger models in the BR700 Series, the standard BR730 was not offered with New Holland's Bale Command Plus or EdgeWrap net-wrapping system.

For buyers specifically wanting a simpler twine-tie round baler, that straightforward design may be attractive.

Variable-Chamber Roll-Belt Design

The BR730 uses New Holland's roll-and-belt bale-forming design.

Crop enters through the pickup and is directed into the bale-forming chamber, where the rolls and belts begin forming the core. As the bale grows, the chamber expands while maintaining tension on the crop to build a compact, uniform bale.

The machine uses multiple approximately 7-inch-wide belts as part of its bale-forming system.

This design was intended to produce firm, well-shaped bales while keeping the BR730 compact enough for smaller hay operations.

Pickup and Feeding System

New Holland offered different pickup configurations within the BR700 family, so the exact pickup installed on this particular machine should be confirmed before purchase.

Published specifications for the standard BR730 SuperSweep pickup list approximately 59.75 inches of overall pickup width, with four tine bars and 72 tines.

Because pickup configuration can vary by machine and serial number, buyers should verify the installed pickup rather than relying solely on generic model specifications.

The seller had previously estimated the pickup at approximately 67 inches; because published specifications use several different measurements for pickup width, the physical pickup should be measured if this dimension is important to the buyer.

Tractor Requirements

The BR730 operates from a 540-rpm PTO.

Commonly published specifications list approximately 40 PTO horsepower as a minimum tractor requirement, although tractor size should always be matched to terrain, crop conditions, bale density, tractor weight, hydraulic requirements, and operating conditions.

For practical field operation, having additional horsepower above the minimum can provide additional operating margin.

The seller originally described approximately 50-plus horsepower as a recommended tractor size.

A Practical Baler for Smaller Hay Operations

This BR730 may be worth considering for buyers putting up:

  • Grass hay
  • Dry hay
  • Mixed forage
  • Livestock feed
  • Horse hay
  • Smaller acreage hay crops
  • Farm-use round bales
  • Seasonal forage production

The 4×4-class bale size is especially practical for producers who want round bales without moving into the weight and tractor requirements associated with larger bale packages.

Low Reported Use Adds to the Appeal

Used round balers are often evaluated as much by bale count and condition as by calendar age.

With this machine showing less than 2,000 bales, buyers have an opportunity to consider an older New Holland baler with unusually low reported use.

The seller is representing the machine as being in excellent condition and wants to move it now.

The current asking price is $9,000, and reasonable offers are encouraged.

The baler is located in Bourbon, Indiana, making it conveniently positioned for buyers throughout northern Indiana and surrounding Midwest agricultural markets.
