Kuhn Farm Machinery has announced that its Twin-reel film binding technology will be available as an option on the FB 3130 baler.
Having previously been introduced to the larger FB 3135, it means that both of the company’s fixed chamber balers are now available with the system.
It uses two 750mm stretch film rolls to bind the bale, as opposed to a single, wider roll. This means operators are handling less weight during loading. According to the company, the film also allows for a higher pre-stretch ratio, which could reduce binding costs by 37%.
Rhodri Jenkins, grassland product specialist, says the technology offers operational savings too. “Users will notice an increased period between changing film rolls and the stretched film has a sticky tack between each layer, protecting the bale instantly and providing an extra barrier once fully wrapped.”
Kuhn is also the first manufacturer to partner with Agriculture Plastic & Environment UK (APE) to support the recycling of agri-plastics.
