LAMMA preview
Kuhn launches new range of bigger large square balers
• Machines have 15% higher intake • Range to make UK debut at show • Optimum crop flow into the baler
LAMMA, exhibiting the SB se- ries with increased capacity and higher density baling. SB balers have been developed
K
with an improved crop intake sys- tem. A new crop guard design – plus increased torque on the rotor and feeder fork driveline – gives these models up to 15% higher intake capacity and greater en- durance.
Kate Bennett of Kuhn Farm
Machinery said: “LAMMA is very important to the industry and it will only grow from what it is to- day. It’s a great shop window for everyone to exhibit their innova- tions and machinery.”
Performance
On show for the first time in the UK at the Birmingham NEC, the
Higher bale weights mean increased handling and transport efficiencies.
uhn Farm Machinery will launch a new range of large square balers at
series will include the SB 890 (80 x 90cm bale size), the SB 1270X (120 x 70cm), the SB 1290 (120 x 90cm), and the extreme density SB 1290iD (120 x 90cm). Driver comfort has been in- creased with upsizing of the fly- wheel to 485kg, so the opera- tor will rarely feel the plunger strokes in the cab. The torque regulation system monitors pres- sure on the driveline, including the crank angle position sensor and plunger rod load pins. Picking up different pressures in the plunger cycle, the operator is guided to feed extra material into one side of the machine to achieve higher bale weights that

lead to increased handling and transport efficiencies.
Safety features Machines have been designed with full accessibility for main- tenance and inspection as a key consideration. Safety is given pri- ority with features such as solid steps and a guide rail on the knot- ter deck both included.
Load sensing hydraulics are
included as standard, with this system being used for axle lock- ing, knife steering, roller cut and bale ejection. It also blasts an air stream over the knotters to keep them free from debris. Kuhn’s widely used and prov-
en integral rotor system is used on all models, ensuring optimum crop flow into the baler, says the company. All rotor types have eas- ily replaceable Hardox tines for extended working life. Machines are equipped as standard with a double-knotter binding system with electron- ic twine monitoring suitable for increased density bales.
SB 1290iD
As with the earlier LSB range, Kuhn offers the option of an extreme high density bal- er, with up to 25% high- er bale density. The SB 1290iD provides the potential for increased handling, trans- port and storage efficiencies in all situations, most notably in the growing market for energy crops. Increased bale density is pos- sible with the same tractor power as the SB 1290 due to the inno- vative Twinpact double plunger system.
The plunger operates with split impact, in which the bot- tom half of the plunger hits the bale first followed by the top half, using the full force available on each impact. This eliminates the need for an oversized driveline, flywheel or mainframe. All SB balers are fully Isobus compatible with an intuitive user interface. Control is said to be straightforward and easy via the Isobus terminal of the trac- tor or via Kuhn’s CCI 50 or CCI 1200 terminals.
