2024 Kuhn VBP 3100 Series 3195

Two technologies from KUHN are combined into one machine to create the VBP 3100 Series Variable Baler-Wrapper Combination BalePacks. These machines not only produce high-quality 4x5 round bales, but tightly wraps them providing maximum efficiency and prolonged silage quality preservation.

Two technologies from KUHN are combined into one machine to create the VBP 3100 Series. These machines begin with a standard VB 3165 or VB 3195 variable chamber baler with an OptiCut integral rotor and unites it with an innovative wrapper system. The VBP 3165 and 3195 feature multiple in-cab controlled functions and are designed to work in the heaviest conditions.

Features may include:

• All VBP 3100 models feature a wide pickup with standard crop roller. The pickup is designed to maximize the full capacity of the machine. With a working width of 91” (2.3 m), the machine can work in all windrows and won’t let you down, even in the toughest conditions. Straight pickup tines help release the crop and reduce crop wrapping. The pickup roller compresses the crop against the pickup tines reducing friction, thus reducing leaf loss and increasing baler efficiency by evening out the windrow.

• Camless-shaped crop guides result in more aggressive and efficient pickup by exposing more of the tine when needed and by pulling the crop away from the tines as it approaches the intake. A cam track pulls the tines straight down in the rearward position to avoid wrapping, making this the only hybrid pickup on the market today.

• Patented Integral Rotor Technology found on the VBP 3165 baler-wrapper combination. This simple, low-maintenance intake system guarantees an enormous throughput capacity at all times. The short distance between rotor and pickup tines maintains consistent crop flow. The design of this force-fed intake makes higher forward speeds possible for increased productivity and reduces crop damage. The Integral Rotor on all models is provided with rotor tines made out of Hardox® wear plates. Hardox combines extreme hardness and toughness to reduce rotor tine wear. Longer wearing life of the rotor tines will help to provide time and money savings for the operator.

• The Progressive Density system has proven its value on all KUHN VBP balers. The system increases tension as the bale forms, providing a firm bale with a tough outer shell.

• The 5 belt, 3 roller design of the VBP 3100 Series bale chamber ensures fast, consistent bale formation. The aggressive profile of the top chamber roller improves crop contact and reduces crop loss. The front segment of the baler is fitted with a large smooth roller and driven cleaning roller that prevents crop build up at the front of the machine. The unique mix of the KUHN Progressive Density system and smart bale chamber design ensures perfect bale formation every time.

• One of the final steps in creating the perfect bale is the wrap. Securing a bale to protect it from the elements and from losing its shape is one of the most crucial steps. The less time required to secure the bale, the higher the baling operation output.

• To minimize idle time and maximize output, a rapid bale transfer is required. The side guide protection plates of the KUHN VBP BalePacks ensure a rapid and secure bale transfer even when working in steep or sloping fields. The 4-belt wrapping table with two large rollers and four side cones provide maximum bale traction, bale rotation and proper film overlap, regardless of the bale shape.
