Heavy-Built Baler Wraps On-The-Go
✖ |
The F125 Kombi from Goeweil bales high moisture forage, dry hay, or straw and wraps it up tight in one operation. Not only is air excluded immediately, but also everything is done with one tractor and one operator. The Austrian baler/wrapper is new to the North American market. The 4 by 4-ft., fixed chamber baler is designed for custom operators or larger farming operations.
“Our trailing F125 Kombi is ideal for operators doing between 6,000 and 20,000 bales a year,” says Philip Kieser, Goeweil. “It is a top of the line, heavier machine built to outlast its competitors. The standard model has features only available as options on competitive balers.”
As a bale leaves the F125 chamber, it moves to the twin-arm wrapping portion of the machine. The hydraulically-actuated wrapping table with 4 bale conveyor belts and bale guide rollers rotate the bale for an airtight wrap. At the same time, a new bale is being completed in the chamber.
Throughout the baling and wrapping process, the operator monitors every action, thanks to the ISOBUS control system standard with the F125. While workflow is fully automated, the operator can also control work steps manually through a terminal. With only 2 in. between pickup tines, fields are left clean. Kieser points to the F125’s pre-cutter with its 30 chopper knives and their impact on forage quality.
“Most competitors offer knives as an option and then only offer 15 to 20 knives,” says Kieser. “They will produce 2 1/2 to 3-in. pieces, where ours will produce a 1-in. to a 1 1/2-in. cut for superior silage.”
Kieser suggests contractors and farmers operating in hilly terrain should consider the hydraulic-powered axle option. It could mean the difference between operating safely with an existing 150 hp. tractor versus having to invest in a larger tractor to handle hills.
The F125 Kombi is expected to sell in the $140,000 to $150,000 range, depending on options and shipping. Kieser is currently establishing distributors and retail networks in the U.S. and Canada.
