Krone V165 Variable Chamber Baler
The KRONE VariPack V 165 is a highly efficient and compact round baler celebrated for its ability to produce high-density bales measuring between 0.80 - 1.65 x 1.20 m (2'8"-5'5" / 3'11") in diameter, making it suitable for a range of materials such as straw and hay. Its innovative design integrates advanced features like the XCut cutting system and hydraulic drop floor for enhanced user experience and productivity. Tailored for versatility, the VariPack V 165 adapts to specific agricultural requirements, ensuring optimal material gathering, effective moisture sensing, and rapid operations with baling speeds of 110 m/min. The balance of functionality and robust engineering ensures minimal downtime and maintenance, making it ideal for farmers looking for reliability and efficiency.
Key things to know about the Baler
Versatile Models The VariPack line includes four models equipped with either an integral cutting system or no cutting system at all, providing flexibility in baler choice.
Efficiency and Speed With a circumferential speed of 110 m/min, the machine ensures rapid baling while maintaining high-density output for various agricultural needs.
Advanced Baling Technology Advanced electronics such as the TIM (Tractor Implement Management) provide enhanced operational efficiency by automating control functions between the tractor and baler.
Specialized Bale Thickness Settings Operators can set core density and different layer densities via an operator terminal, ensuring customized bales for various applications such as hauling and drying.
Fast Maintenance Features Automatic lubrication and grouping of grease nipples reduce maintenance time, boosting overall productivity, ideal for extensive work schedules.
Features
Compact Design The incorporation of feed rollers within the rotor facilitates a steady and reliable feed of material from the pickup to the rotor, optimizing overall crop flow and enhancing machine reliability.
Robust Drive System The pick-up and integral rotor are powered by a shared 1 ¼ inch chain, designed for minimal moving parts which promotes easy servicing and prolongs operational lifespan.
Hydraulic Drop Floor A hydraulic drop floor located underneath the cut-and-feed rotor allows for straightforward blockage removal directly from the cab, ensuring continuous operation.
Variable Configuration Users have the option to choose between an integral feed rotor or an integral cutting rotor featuring 17 blades, catering to varying agricultural needs.
High-Performance Rotor The 530 mm rotor guarantees substantial throughput, ensuring effective baling operations.
Precision Cutting The rotor supports controlled cuts, ensuring high-quality output and reducing wastage.
Integrated Feed System With integrated feed augers at the ends of the rotor, the design minimizes moving parts, resulting in reduced maintenance and repair needs while enhancing durability.
XCut Cutting System This cutting system boasts blades with long, curved edges that promise efficiency and longer sharpness durations, supporting effective cuts across multiple crop types.
Blade Configuration The 17-blade cutting system allows for adjustable cutting lengths and efficient blade use throughout extended operations.
Reliable Bale Formation The bale chamber, consisting of three smooth belts, produces high-density bales suitable for dry materials, notably straw and hay, while adjustable density settings allow for tailored applications.
Bale Size Options The VariPack V 165 produces bales with variable diameters ranging from 0.80 to 1.65 m, making it adaptable to diverse agricultural applications.
Optimized Crop Gathering The EasyFlow pick-up system ensures thorough gathering of swaths, significantly reducing lost material, thus enhancing yield efficiency.
User-Friendly Control System The DS 100 operation unit prioritizes intuitive use, allowing operators to control all functions from the cab efficiently without distraction.
Moisture Sensing System This optional feature relays real-time material quality data to operators, enabling timely adjustments in baling pressure and wrapping protocols for optimal results.
