Grassland specialist Pöttinger always has its focus on harvesting the best forage. The Austrian agricultural machinery manufacturer continuously updates its proven machines, resulting in new developments, outstanding improvements and innovative additional functions for the best working results. This can be clearly seen in the company’s latest Impress round balers.
To seal round bales and store them effectively, they should be stored standing on their sides. In this upright position, the film layers are vertical. The pressure of the contents of the bale expands the film, the film layers are pressed together and the bale is sealed even better. In addition, there are many more layers of film on the flat side and so the protection against external influences is greater.
That is why Pöttinger has developed a bale turner. The optional bale turner rotates wrapped round bales to be deposited in the vertical position so they can also be transported away in this position. Perfectly integrated into the wrapping platform, it requires hardly any space, but can be used at any time. It can be engaged from the control panel and deactivated if necessary.
The optional inclination sensor on F and V PRO models automatically adjusts the speed of the hydraulic functions on the wrapper to the terrain. This ensures that bales are transferred safely, even on slopes.
Optional hydraulic knife group selection is now available that can be operated conveniently from the tractor cab.
Pöttinger’s PRO models will be supplied without a control terminal in future. This results in a price advantage for customers with a tractor with an ISObus control system. A choice of control terminals is then available as an option.
Many baler functions now work automatically: tieing, tailgate and the pick-up. Semi-automatic function is available with a play/pause button for all automatic modes
Impress V without a chopping system
The Impress 155 V and Impress 185 V were developed for use without a chopping system and have been specially optimised for dry crops. The new feed rotor (instead of the chopping rotor) and the 20 per cent higher bale chamber speed further increase the throughput capacity. The Impress 155 V is designed for a bale size of 0.80 to 1.55m, while the Impress 185 V is designed for a bale size of 0.90 to 1.85m.
Hay farms in particular appreciate the three-zone soft core system. This enables infinitely variable adjustment and up to six pre-select options to adapt to different operating parameters.
With the Impress round baler, Pöttinger offers exceptional working quality for the best forage, and the highest level of convenience and reliability for the professional user.
