Information

2025 Haybuster® Balebuster 2665

The 2665 Shortcut Balebuster has all of the features of the 2660 Balebuster, including right hand discharge, and chain and slat conveyor table that continuously rotates the bale while the heavy-duty rotor and hammers process the material.

The 2665 Shortcut Balebuster also comes with more hammers, more stripper kits, and more slug bars giving you additional cutting and ultimately a shorter product.

More hammers allow for more cutting edge, more slug bars control the flow of material to the rotor, along with the stripper kits which hold up the flow allowing more hammer cutting. The Haybuster Balebuster also has increased rotor speed through the chain case. The chain case reverses the rotor direction for right side discharge and gives you 30% more rotor speed.

Features may include:

Notable Updates

With bales getting bigger and heavier, we have made the 2665 a more durable Balebuster. We have increased the diameter of the rotor shaft and bearing, as well as the conveyor shaft. The chain attachment to the slats is more durable. We have also increased the width of the table to eliminate dead spots where material can build up. We also moved the loader forks over to help center the bale while loading into the chamber.

Shredder Chamber with More Durable 3-Chain Slat Conveyor

The 2665 chain table comes standard with a more durable chain. This, along with the heavy-duty flails and high-speed rotor, allows processing of bales in any condition: wet, frozen, old, new or with flattened bottoms. The conveyor is tilted so it helps to keep bales positioned against the slug bars for consistent processing of hay.

Heavy Duty Flails and High Speed Rotor

The 2665 features an oil bath chain case that reverses the direction of the in-line PTO, increasing the speed and efficiency of the rotor by 30%. Heavy-duty rotor and flails process all types of bales in all conditions.

Two Stage Bale Loader

The 2665 two-stage bale loader allows each bale to be lifted separately without disturbing other bales. It’s designed to carry a second bale to increase efficiency.

Heavy-Duty Frame

The Haybuster Balebusters have the most durable chassis on the market to stand up to today’s larger, heavier bales.

Rotor Access Door

The 2665 gives you quick and easy access to the rotor for routing inspections and twine removal with the rotor access door.
