New square baler gives
improved performance
» » KUHN FARM MACHINERY HAS ADDED
a new high density and high capacity
machine to its range of LSB square
balers.
The new LSB 1270 DX completes KUHN’s
range of large square balers in the 120cm x
70cm (2x4) sector and has been developed
in line with feedback received from existing
LSB users. This new machine is designed
for baling operations where high capacity
and high levels of operating efficiency
are required, regardless of varying crop
conditions.
The LSB 1270 DX is capable of producing
bales which are 10% more dense compared
to previous models and can increase
working capacity in dry or bulky swaths
by up to 15%. The baler is equipped as
standard with a double knotting system and
revised driveline to achieve these improved
performance figures.
The LSB 1270 DX delivers a 10% increase
in bale density as a result of the following
features:
• Xtra gearbox: a new gearbox design
gives up to 30% extra load capacity
compared to the previous model.
• Xtra main frame and bale channel: the
new baler features a revised frame and
bale channel which are able to handle
the increased loads created by the
Xtra gearbox.
• Double knotter system: six knotters
tie the bale halfway along the bale’s
Philip
Ltd
length as well as at the bale’s end.
This system is constantly monitored
by the machine’s electronic control
terminal, which manages twine
tension and gives a knotter failure
alert, thereby enabling the operator to
maximise bale density and capacity.
• Xtra bale channel cylinders: bigger
diameter cylinders create greater
friction in the bale channel thereby
increasing bale density.
An optional, mechanically driven crop
roller further enhances the capacity of the
LSB 1270 DX by enabling the machine to
maintain a high working throughput even
when baling dry and bulky swaths. The
crop roller is protected by a cam clutch
to ensure a trouble free intake when
collecting large or uneven swaths and is
able to increase working capacity by up to
15% compared to standard.
