Features
- 2.0 or 2.2m pick-up with small diameter pick-up reel for fast and efficient throughput.
- Pick-up with 4 or 5 rows of tines respectively.
- Twin cam tracks on the 2.2m wide pick-up.
- Tine bars with two central supports on the 2.2m wide pick-up.
- Small diameter pick-up design.
- Roller crop press is standard on the 2.2m wide pick-up.
- Narrow transport width.
PowerFeed Rotor Intake
- Truly impressive intake capacity can be achieved with the PowerFeed rotor intake system - handling all crop types with ease, whatever the conditions.
- The PowerFeed rotor with its 13 rotor fingers proactively forces the material into the bale chamber for higher intake speed and capacity proving instant bale start
Single or Dual Fork Feeder
- The fork feeder versions are fitted with a cost efficient fork feeder intake system. This system provides direct feed into the bale chamber, and the wide opening allows almost unrestricted intake capacity for fast and efficient bale start.
- In addition the fork feeder gives less vibration and reduced power consumption.
- The fork feeder is provided with a crop press above the pick-up that ensures a regular crop flow even from large bulky swaths.
- Dual fork feeder with double feed tines ensures even higher capacity, while still safeguarding fragile crop types.
- The RV 5100 bale chamber offers a combination of 2 rollers and 5 wide laced belts.
- This mixed chamber ensures a smooth bale start whatever the intake system, offering smooth bale rotation and reduced crop loss, even in dry conditions.
- The two aggressive front rollers that come in contact with the crop are constantly cleaned by scraper rollers and are designed to perform well in all conditions. They ensure instant and efficient bale start with every type of crop.
- The small pre-chamber at the start of the bale formation ensures well-shaped and dense bales with a moderate core and tight outer layers.
- As the bale grows, the belt tensioning arm is subjected to steadily increasing resistance from two hydraulic cylinders and a spring tensioner.
- So as the bale diameter grows, so does the bale’s density. The result is a very firm bale with a moderate core.
Parallelogram DropFloor System for faster Unblocking
Parallelogram Drop Floor enables the operator to clear blockages easily from the tractor cab without any crop loss.
Drop the floor to free the rotor of blockage, engage the PTO to feed the blockage through and close the floor to continue baling.
- One of the fastest net wrap actions available. This means minimum downtime and maximum time baling.
- The net is fed directly into the bale chamber by an injection arm in a flat movement angle to keep the net tight at all times.
- Accurate and extremely reliable net injection.
- No interference from external factors such as wind and crop.
- When the bale is 90% complete the injection arm moves forward, ready for the net injection. No time is spent picking up the net.
- Very low loading height, for maximum convenience and time saving. To replace the empty roll just swing out the shaft and replace it with a new roll
- The PowerBind net wrap system allows the net to extend past the edge of the bale.
Techno-Pack has been developed to offer professional farmers and contractors the optimum solution in terms of crop harvesting management. The moisture level of crop entering the bale chamber during the baling process is continuously measured and displayed on the baler terminal. Sensor plates are mounted in the lower part of the bale chamber, from which the system calculates the percentage of moisture inside the bale. The system is able to detect moisture levels up to 50% allowing the driver to decide at any time if crops such as hay or straw are fit to bale - your assurance of always preserving the best possible forage quality.
TIM (Tractor Implement Management)
TIM is a cross-product and cross-manufacturer ISOBUS solution for the agricultural machinery industry whereby the implement is able to control certain tractor functions. It enables two-way communication between tractors and implements, allowing both machines to work in perfect harmony. As well as increasing efficiency, the possibility of human error due to fatigue is also greatly reduced. TIM technology has the advantage of significantly increasing driver comfort by automatically performing many of the repetitive actions of the baling process.
The cost aspect is another factor to bear in mind. Highly efficient use of TIM-equipped baler results in lower costs for parts that wear out.
- TIM system as optional equipment
- TIM takes most of the work off the operator's hands when baling
- Significant increase in comfort for the operator, as endless work steps are saved
- Reduced operator fatigue and faster completion of work while maintaining high bale quality
- High user-friendliness of the TIM system, which even regularly changing operators can quickly master
Focus 3 Control
Kverneland Group Mechatronics has recently launched a new operator terminal, the Focus 3. This terminal is developed for specific implement types and will only be delivered as package for those implements, together with the electronics for balers. The terminal Focus 3 is positioned in the market as an economy solution.
- Focus 3 terminal is easy to learn and very intuitive, with control terminal with focus on functionality and operating simplicity.
- Focus 3 terminal is a universal control terminal which can also be used with other implements from the Kverneland Group.
- Focus 3 terminal gives you full control of all functions from the tractor cab. They are shown on a large, clear digital display.
- Focus 3 terminal monitors and controls all necessary functions with all relevant parameters are visible at a glance.The control box is also driving the binding automatically without any intervention from the operator.
Precision Farming
When deciding what equipment to purchase, it is not always easy to find the optimal solution in the broad market offering of today. Technology is developing fast and tractors and implements are more and more equipped with high tech electronics. We understand this complexity and are committed to provide you with easy farming solutions. Therefore these cost-efficient ISOBUS Universal Terminals, IsoMatch Tellus and IsoMatch Tellus GO+ are made for easy machine control and efficient farming.
With its advanced hardware and software features, the IsoMatch Tellus PRO provides the optimal precision farming solution for an all-in-one control system inside your tractor cab.
