Two new big square balers have joined the line-up of balers available from Vicon (Netherlands). The LB1270 and the LB1290 offer more capacity and produce bales with greater density, when compared with the LB 12200 and LB 12290 balers they now replace. The LB1270 produces bales measuring 120cm wide by 70cm high while the LB1290 makes 120cm wide by 80cm or 90cm high bales. The main change for the balers is the use of a new crop chopping system OmniCut, based on the company`s Integral rotor system and takes material directly from the 2.3m pick-up.
OmniCut has a 60cm diameter feed rotor which forces the crop through a bank of knives, the number of which can be selected to alter the chop length. Selections of 0, 11, 12 or 23 knives can be made. After exiting the chopping zone, the crop is loaded into a pre-chamber and is only delivered into the bale chamber when pressure sensors detect the pre-chamber is full.
The baler`s main gearbox has been redesigned to improve durability and the driveline itself is devoid of shearbolts. Protection instead is provided by clutches with automatic re-engagement.
Both new balers are also fitted with a control system that displays information on bale length, feeding strokes, plunger loading and wads per bale. Price of the new LB balers starts at £95,250, including knotter fans, last bale ejector and auto greasing.
