Director Andre Syben, who has visited the Waifang, China manufacturing facility multiple times over the last 12 months says they have initiated extremely high standards of quality control and made some refinements to the balers to ensure they are suitable for overseas markets.
“Those exacting standards are maintained as each completed machine destined for export is personally signed off by the company’s director of sales.”
Having been in production for over 5 years, with more than three thousand units rolling off the production line, finished units have been sold in the Chinese domestic market, Asia and South America.
“We will be offering sales and an extensive spare parts inventory via our Cambridge warehouse, with overnight parts delivery throughout New Zealand. Local independent service agents are currently being appointed throughout the country for after sales support. The baler’s offer high performance at a very cost-effective price, typically around 35% less than comparable competitor products,” says Andre.
Looking at the product in more detail, up front a heavy-duty drawbar offers easy adjustment, while HD double-row bearings on the plunger and a reinforced needle frame deliver increased durability.
The low profile 1900mm wide pick-up features five centre-supported tine bars and twin hydraulic lift rams, in turn, feeding a 430mm wide centre-delivery channel to feed the 356 x 457mm bale chamber. Bale density is controlled hydraulically, with oversized bale retainers to maintain the density achieved.
Featuring German-manufactured Rasspe knotters, kept clean by a blower fan, for reliability and durability, the baler operates at one hundred strokes per minute. It features over-dimensioned sprockets and chains throughout, while also offering auto lubrication and chain oiling within the standard specification.
An extensive package of standard equipment includes an in-cab monitor, electronic bale counter, rearview camera and a full LED work-light package. This is complemented with 10 ball twine storage capacity, rear toolboxes, flotation tyres and a spare part package.
