Features may include:

• Versatility has been one of the key criteria when designing the R-Series Balers. Due to a narrow weather window and increasing amounts of difficult crops, such as heavy silage, growers do not want to risk losing any more time during the season.

• Cam-track technology provides an efficient solution for such needs. The traditional stripper design provides reduced space between the pickup tines and rotor feeder, while the tine motion helps to avoids pinching.

• The cam-less technology requires long strippers, creating a dead zone between the tines and rotor. Additionally, fixed tines can easily pinch crops in sticky conditions, causing plugs that need to be manually removed.

• Limited distance from the pickup to the rotor tines to reduce plugging, especially in brittle straw or short silage

• Reduced number of bearings and distributed loads along the rotor to increase reliability

• Large 48-cm (18.9-in.) diameter converging augers facilitating crops transfer

• 40-mm (1.6-in.) free space under the rotor

• Parallel kinematic avoids bottleneck noticeable with other concepts

• R-Series Balers are delivered standard with a drop-floor unplugging system. In case of a clog, the drop floor is managed from the display simultaneously or independently from the knives. When lowering the floor, the parallel kinematic gives 40-mm (1.6-in.) extra free space under the rotor and converging augers.
