Shaktiman SBM 165 Plus Square Baler Price November 2026
SBM 165 Plus makes rectangular bales and uses hydraulic bale-density control. The brochure also covers SBM 165 Plus M, whose density adjustment is manual; the two names should not be treated as identical quotations. This page follows the hydraulic Plus configuration. Compare it with round baling using the collection, handling and storage arrangements your operation actually has.
Dimensions do not fix bale weight
The linked OEM table lists 1.65 m working width, 540 rpm tractor PTO, a 460 × 360 mm bale chamber and adjustable 400–1100 mm bale length. Approximate machine mass is 1710 kg. It specifies 2 knotters and a 6-spool twine box. These figures help plan handling and consumables, but actual bale mass depends on material and settings; weigh sample bales rather than budgeting transport from a nominal bale-weight claim.
Ask for a trial in representative windrows and examine pickup losses, feeding interruptions, knot formation and bale consistency. Confirm twine specification and local knotter service. The brochure gives 45 HP and above, while the market listing gives 55 HP and above: have the supplier confirm the actual tractor pairing rather than silently merging these requirements. Driveline guarding and the specified overload protection must remain complete.
