One of the standout machines on the NC Equipment site at Fieldays 2026 was the Arcusin MultiPack E14. Designed to take the hard work out of handling small square bales, the E14 generated plenty of interest from farmers looking to improve efficiency, reduce labour and spend more time getting the job done instead of handling bales by hand.
During Fieldays, Ben Garton, Territory Manager for Palmerston North, spoke about what makes the Arcusin E14 different, but one comment in particular stood out.
"We've got a customer who's run over 20,000 bales through one of these machines and hasn't had to leave the cab."
That single statement sums up exactly why the Arcusin E14 has become such a popular solution around the world.
See the Arcusin E14 for Yourself
If you missed seeing the Arcusin E14 at Fieldays 2026, you can still watch Ben's walkthrough where he explains the key features and why it's changing the way New Zealand farmers handle small square bales.
Built for Productivity
Handling thousands of conventional square bales is physically demanding and time consuming. Every time an operator needs to stop, climb out of the tractor or manually adjust the process, valuable time is lost.
The Arcusin MultiPack E14 has been designed to automate that entire process.
It continuously collects small square bales, compresses them into neat, secure 14-bale bundles and ties them automatically, all while the operator remains comfortably inside the tractor cab. The complete working cycle is monitored through the in-cab touchscreen display, making operation simple and efficient.
For contractors and farmers alike, that means:
-
Less manual labour
-
Faster paddock clearance
-
Improved operator comfort
-
More consistent bale bundles
-
Greater productivity throughout the day
Designed Around Real Farming
The latest E14 builds on more than 25 years of Arcusin bale handling innovation.
Unlike previous generations, the E14 is capable of working with both traditional 2-tie and larger 3-tie square bales, giving farmers far greater flexibility without needing different equipment.
Other standout features include:
- Automatic working cycle controlled from the tractor cab
- Up to 700 bales per hour, depending on crop and conditions
- Adjustable compaction chamber for tighter, more consistent bundles
- Large flexible pickup capable of collecting bales from various angles
- Ability to work with bale lengths between 800 mm and 1,200 mm without machine adjustments
- Operates with tractors from around 80 horsepower, making it suitable for a wide range of farming operations.
Better Handling. Better Storage.
The Arcusin MultiPack produces compact, uniform bundles that are easier to transport, stack and store.
Its 14-bale configuration creates bundles that allow airflow through the stack, helping reduce moisture issues when handling hay while also making transport and storage more efficient.
Whether you're producing hay or straw, the result is a cleaner operation with fewer handling steps between paddock and shed.
Proven in the Real World
Specifications only tell part of the story.
The real measure of any machine is how it performs once it's in the paddock.
That's why Ben's Fieldays comment resonated with so many visitors.
A customer putting more than 20,000 bales through an Arcusin E14 without needing to leave the cab demonstrates exactly what this machine was built for, delivering reliable automation that keeps operators productive all day long.
If you're looking to reduce labour, improve efficiency and spend more time baling instead of handling bales, the Arcusin MultiPack E14 is well worth a closer look.
