Cropsaver™ Hay Preservative
Safe, Innovative Baling at High Moistures.
Maximize the number of acres baled per day with a chemically-buffered form of propionic acid formulated to prevent spoilage of valuable hay crops. New Holland CropSaver™ Hay Preservative is gentle on your baler with a pH of 6.0 that is as neutral as rainwater, yet it is just as effective as straight propionic acid. And, it works on all types of hay, including alfalfa, grass and other crops susceptible to spoilage at higher moistures.
Better Bale Quality
Hay baled at higher moistures can heat and spoil. New Holland CropSaver™ Hay Preservative will treat hay up to 30% moisture.
| Untreated Hay Moisture | Damage |
|---|---|
| 16 - 22% | Hay discoloration and odor can occur |
| 23% - 26% | Hay temperatures can climb to 120°F in storage; mold will begin to form and quality drops significantly |
| Over 27% | Can result in temperatures over 140°F; hay can turn black and combust |

Better Bales With the Right Application Equipment.
Greener hay with high feed value is the ultimate goal of every producer. All it takes is the right application system. New Holland automatic applicator moisture sensors accurately "read" moisture percentages in real time, adjusting every three seconds to match hay conditions. Large or small, our application process means your crops are baled at the highest quality possible, with minimal product waste.
Large Square Balers
CropSaver™ Hay Preservative is formulated with the large hay producer in mind. Bales produced between 16% and 27% moisture will not heat and will maintain their high quality, smell and appearance when treated with CropSaver.
Round Balers
Hay can be baled with CropSaver™ Hay Preservative at moistures up to 30% with a round baler, extending the hours of operation. Although no preservative product can reduce outside weathering, CropSaver™ can preserve the quality on the inside.
Small Square Balers
CropSaver™ Hay Preservative enables hay to be baled at moistures up to 30% with small square balers. Get out in the fields early, even on cloudy days, and work later in the evenings when dew is heavier.
Efficient design with you in mind
Tanks and saddles have been engineered to mount on all New Holland balers, as well as any other make and model, so they are easy to install, operate, and service, yet safely out of the way of other baler operations.
No Matter What Baler You Use, There Is a Model of New Holland Cropsaver™ Applicator for Your Implement.
An Automatic System Creates Exceptional Bales.
The automatic applicators work as you go, applying the right amount of preservative at the right time, based on moisture levels. You can bale faster and complete more tonnage while tracking the volume of preservative used. Application units attach to New Holland large square balers, conventional balers, smaller round balers or any manufacturer's baler.
