PRESS RELEASE
Round and square baler focus at Welsh Winter Fair
KUHN Farm Machinery will display its large capacity fixed chamber round baler – the FB
3130 – and its auto-loading square and round bale wrapper – the new SW 4014 – at the
RWAS Winter Fair in Builth Wells on 30th November and 1st December 2015.
Auto-loading bale wrapper
The new SW 4014 is an updated version of KUHN’s range topping square and round bale
wrapper, the SW 4004, which now features a fully automatic loading facility which increases the
machine’s bale wrapping capacity and improves operator comfort.
Capable of wrapping square bales up to (W x H x L) 120cm x 140cm x 200cm and round bales
up to 150cm in diameter, the SW 4014 has an operational width of 4.00 metres and a compact,
2.50 metre transport width.
The baler is equipped with KUHN’s unique AUTOLOAD system which uses a laser to detect
square bales as the machine approaches. The laser automatically scans the length of the bale
and sets the loading arms into their pre-load position. The machine then automatically loads,
wraps and unloads bales. This not only improves operating efficiency and speed (users are
reporting up to a 15% increase in daily bale wrapping capacity) but also reduces operator
fatigue.
The SW 4014 is ISOBUS compatible and uses KUHN’s IntelliWrap™ system to provide optimal
film distribution across the entire circumference of the bale: the Intelliwrap system allows the
operator to select between four and nine layers of film to be applied, with the wrapping film being
pre-stretched as it is applied to create a tight seal and reduce film usage. The film is then cut
and held ready for the next bale by two “scissors-type” film cutters.

Fixed chamber round baler
KUHN will also display the latest version of its round baler, the FB 3130, at the Winter Fair. The
MkII FB range of fixed chamber balers includes a number of new features which improve baling
speed, quality and efficiency.
The latest FB balers are available with two different intake rotors – KUHN’s OPTIFEED or
OPTICUT 14 systems – both of which share the same 2.30m pick-up width for maximum
productivity.
The OPTIFEED rotor uses double feeding tines and integrated augers to provide an even and
consistent flow of crop into the bale chamber for improved bale consistency. The OPTICUT 14
rotor is fitted with 14 knives which provide a cutting length of 70mm and which even out the
swath by force-feeding the crop into the baler for maximum throughput.
The new FB uses Kuhn’s PENDULUM pick-up to gather the densest of swaths at high forward
speeds and uses height adjustable guide wheels for accurately carrying the pick-up over every
ground contour.
The FB is also equipped with KUHN’s POWERTRACK system which uses 18 asymmetrical,
ribbed steel rollers to rotate and tightly compress bales as they are being produced.
The FB MkII range also features Kuhn’s hydraulic POWERLOCK rear door cylinders which work
in combination with a hydraulic lock valve to produce maximum bale density. Fast door opening
and closing means more bales per hour and improved efficiency.
