Kuhn: Higher-density big bales from new LSB balers

New technology to meet the needs of progressive farmers launched by Kuhn on its stand at Sima 2019 included the company’s latest LSB 1290iD (intelligent-Density) large square balers.

This new machine has the ability to produce large square bales with up to 25 per cent higher density than conventional big bales. This is increasingly valuable for the transport and storage of crop residues, whether used for feed, bedding or as a renewable energy source.

The LSB 1290iD baler incorporates the Kuhn’s patented TwinPact plunger system to facilitate the increased force required to create higher density bales. In addition, driveline and transmission upgrades create further benefits, allowing a 200hp tractor to produce bales of more than 500kg, creating economies in fuel use.

The new baler is fully ISObus compatible, with an intuitive user interface. It can be controlled from the tractor’s own ISObus controller, or via Kuhn’s CCI 1200 or CCI 50 terminals.
