Kuhn says its VBP 7100 series baler-wrapper combinations offer consistent, high performance in all crop conditions.
With the introduction of its VBP 7100 series baler-wrapper combinations, KUHN believes that the heavy-duty built machines will offer consistent high performance in all crop conditions.
The company says these balers deliver large, dense straw bales or wellshaped, short crop silage bales with higher moisture contents.
Noting that there is an increasing market of customers requiring a machine that can cope with a wide range of conditions, they say that the versatility of the VBP 7100 series is suitable for all operations.
The European harvesting specialists also believe the machine’s well-shaped and dense bales are a result of features that include the patented i-DENSE density regulation system for optimal bale start and baling pressure, which give the highest of densities in straw. Up front, the 23-knife intake system intake enables a wide range of cutting lengths, while the optional twinreel film binding system allows more efficiency in silage crops.
Several key features are said to ensure maximum capacity and large daily outputs. These include the 3-tine integral rotor and an especiallydesigned crop roller for unrestricted crop intake. The bale chamber uses a double tension arm for guaranteed bale start/formation, higher densities, and quick re-tensioning. Meanwhile, a fast tailgate and rapid bale transfer system ensure high productivity.
Despite its ability to produce high density bale packages, durability is also addressed with a heavy-duty bale chamber, rollers and driveline components. All are built within a heavy-duty machine frame and carried on and extra-large tandem axle assembly fitted with oversize tyre equipment.
The VBP 7100 series consists of the VBP 7160 that produces bales of 80 to 160 cm diameter bales, while the VBP 7190 delivers packages from for 80 to 185 cm diameter bales. Both models able to be equipped with the optional KUHN film binding system.
