2024 Kuhn SB Series 890 Optifeed

Consistently filled, super-dense, square-edged bales are what every producer demands. KUHN SB Series large square balers meet and exceed these expectations, while combining high output and maximum reliability to get the job done fast.

The KUHN SB Series balers are the new generation of KUHN large square balers. The SB balers, designed to achieve high capacity and high bale weights, combined with more driver convenience to boost the profitability of the baling operation. Thanks to the improved intake system, an increase in capacity of up to 15% is achieved.

The SB Series balers are designed by KUHN, made by KUHN. The new design offers perfect accessibility to the inside of the machine. The new KUHN patented torque regulation system ensures a perfect balance between capacity and density. The benefit of this sophisticated measuring method is that extra bale weight can be achieved, with higher transport and handling efficiency as a result.

Features may include:

• When crop cutting is not required, the OptiFeed system ensures a controlled and consistent crop flow to the prechamber. This rotor design helps even out windrows by moving hay where needed for consistent bale formation. This force-fed, non-cutting intake is the perfect solution for handling tough crop conditions such as cornstalks, short straw and high-moisture crops.

• With 20 years of experience behind our cutters, the OptiCut (OC) cutting rotors are designed for unlimited intake capacity and excellent cutting quality. KUHN (OC) cutting rotors, with elliptical shaped rotor tines, are acknowledged by users as one of the best cutting systems on the market. The silage is guided and drawn down to the knives from an early stage which improves flow and cutting performance and also prevents unwanted plugging.

• The Importance of Bale Shape: 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 machines is the result of more than 35 years of experience in large square balers. With the 10-foot long bale chamber, there is plenty of space to form a rock-hard, square-edged bale. The combination of aggressive retainers and special wedge-shaped doors brings maximum compaction and gentle expansion of the bale.

• The twine boxes swing out completely for easy access to the vital parts of the machine. Behind the full-access side doors, spools of twine can be stored. The SB Series balers have a twine capacity of 32 spools. The swine storage itself is sealed to keep twine rolls clean for consistent, reliable tying.

• KUHN uses a combination of synchronized gearboxes, drivelines and oversized chains designed for maximum life and limited maintenance. The driveline layout is simple, clean, and easy to service and maintain while minimizing the overall number of moving parts.

• The pickup, integral rotor and feeder fork are protected with cam-type clutches, which are automatically activated in the event of an overload.
