CHOPPING

  IN RESPONSE TO VARYING CHOP LENGTH REQUIREMENTS

  Varying crop-growing conditions, evolving crop conservation methods and specific fodder requirements call for different chop lengths. The new range of BB9000 big balers provide the flexibility that is requested by the customers.

  REDUCED POWER CONSUMPTION WITH THE CROPCUTTER™ SYSTEM

  The proven design of the CropCutter™ system with the W-tine pattern rotor assures an even spread of the cutting force and a smooth cutting action. The ingenious design not only divides the power requirement equally over the two rotor halves – for both the 80 cm and the 120 cm bale widths – but it assures an equal distribution of the crop over the full of the precompression chamber and the bale chamber.

  EXCELLENT CHOPPING WITH THE PACKER CUTTER

  A basic cutting of the straw or silage, using three packer forks and six double tines is possible on the 80 cm wide models. This introduces an important degree of crop compaction for improved silage and a reduced number of bales to be handled, and it also eases the feeding. Engaging or disengaging the cutting function on these packer cutter models is done with ease from the comfort of the tractor seat.

  EASY SHARPENING DEMANDS LESS ENERGY

  The knife drawer can be slid out of the baler to exposes the knives for easy sharpening. The simplicity, with which this is carried out, encourages the operator to do it when required, resulting in a smoother cutting action that demands less power. To extend the interval between sharpening a hard faced knives kit is available as a dealer installed accessory.
