The Vicon new generation variable chamber It’s all about the bale!

“Passion” and “baling” have always been getting along together for Vicon, sustaining a continuous innovation attitude in the round baler segment over the last decades. The VariBale is a completely new variable chamber range, focusing on reliability and serviceability, and setting a leading role in bale quality and density. Further and unique TIM features are applicable, too.

The Vicon VariBale series has been designed to set new standards in efficiency, reliability, serviceability, and user comfort — cutting operational costs, easing the workload, and enhancing productivity.

Broad Offering of New-Generation Variable Chamber Balers
Vicon’s new variable chamber balers come in two models: VariBale 160 (up to 1.65m bales) and VariBale 190 (up to 1.85m bales). Each model offers three intake options to suit different crop conditions and applications: The cost-effective EasyFeed, the PowerFeed plain rotor, and the ChopFeed with 15 single protected knives.

Bale Production at a New Level
A 520 mm large rotor, 2.30 m pickup and the new hydraulic system sets new standards in intake capacity and bale density, while the extremely short binding and tailgate cycle offers maximum output and capacity.
Key features, such as the integrated gearbox, greaseable external bearings, large rollers, and a simple and straight driveline, enhance reliability and performance. Service time is reduced to a minimum level, thanks to the innovative design of frame and drive line elements, excellent accessibility, minimized dirt deposition, and options such as automatic greasing and working lights.
The proven PowerBind net system, featuring the market’s lowest positioned front-mounted roll, offers fast and consistent net application, along with high operator comfort. New vertical spare roll storage reduces crop build-up and simplifies handling.

The Most Technologically Advanced Baler on the Market
Vicon’s first TIM-level system has already automated key driver tasks—like pausing for binding and bale discharge — cutting the baling sequence from 10 manual operations to just two.
The new VariBale can now be equipped with TIM Pack 2.0, offering further major innovations Auto Feed Control, with hydraulic pivoting drawbar and TIM-controlled valves, automatically shifts the baler left or right based on swath indicators. This ensures dense, well-shaped bales and keeps tractor wheels off the forage, preventing contamination.
Auto Blockage Control monitors crop flow and reacts faster than a human to stop the tractor and PTO during blockages. It also simplifies unblocking with a semi-automatic process, minimising downtime.
The VariBale series supports advanced ISOBUS technology, including Vicon Sync and FarmCenter cloud connectivity for detailed fleet and productivity monitoring.
