The SB 1290 iD is designed to intelligently produce high density bales. Thanks to the patented TwinPact plunger system, the baler has a lower power requirement than competitive high density balers while still making heavier bales resulting in a more profitable baling operation.

With the development of the SB 1290 iD, KUHN offers you an intelligent and innovative answer to today's and tomorrow's challenges. This 'intelligent-density' model is designed to produce bales with up to 25% higher bale density in tough dry straw conditions compared to conventional large square balers. The patented TwinPact double plunger system is the basis of this increase in bale density, while avoiding high peak loads on the machine.

Features may include:

• Consistently shaped bales provide more than just aesthetic appeal. A dense, consistently filled bale represents quality in every form. Square bales are easy to handle and stack. In addition, they are much more stable during transport than a poorly formed bale. In silage applications, a square-edged bale indicates less air content, resulting in higher quality feed.

• The specially designed bale chamber of the KUHN SB 1290 iD is the result of more than 35 years of experience in big square baling. An active pre-chamber filling mechanism with a newly designed mechanical feeder fork system, ensures the production of evenly filled bales.

• Whether you are baling dry straw, hay or wet silage, the Power Feed Roller allows you to take capacity to the next level. This driven crop roller actively follows the height of the swath. As a result, the crop is slightly compressed and evenly distributed when entering the intake rotor. Inconsistencies in the crop flow are smoothed out, delivering a steady crop flow towards the rotor.

• The 19" diameter OptiFeed rotor design, where rotor tines - made out of Hardox wear plate - and auger flighting are combined on one shaft, helps even out the swath by spreading the crop evenly for consistent bales every time. When crop cutting is not required, the OptiFeed system ensures a controlled and consistent crop flow to the pre-chamber. With the rotor, an additional level of protection is given to the machine.

• Perform at maximum capacity with a durable intake system. Synchronized drive of components is made by gearboxes and shafts. This ensures a perfectly synchronized machine with easy maintenance. The heavy-duty driveline features self-resetting cam-clutches. The benefit of these clutches is that they offer the possibility to use the machine at maximum capacity without worrying about time consuming shear bolt replacements. The driveline layout is simple, clean, and easy to service and maintain while minimizing the overall number of moving parts.

• The design offers easy accessibility to the inside of the machine during daily inspection and maintenance. For more safety, the knotter deck is equipped with solid stairs and a safety railing. The safety railing can be folded down easily to reduce the height of the machine during transport. Moreover, the driver can benefit from optimal comfort thanks to the heavy flywheel, the load sensing hydraulics and the torque regulation system.
