GPS automated pick-up on VB baler

Share this item

Kuhn Baler Automation is rewarded with the EIMA Technical Innovation Award 2024. One of the functionalities of this automated baling system is Task Controller Section Control*. Thus, VB 7100 series round balers are the first Section Controlled* balers with a GPS automated pick-up.

By launching Baler Automation, Kuhn takes another step towards autonomous baling. With this solution, customers increase profitability of the baler operation, while bale quality and operator convenience is enhanced. It includes Tractor Implement Management (TIM), Task Controller (TC-BAS, TC-GEO and TC-SC) and Auxiliary Control (AUX-N) functionalities*. Moreover, VB 7100 series models are the first Kuhn balers equipped with a new user interface.

Task Controller Section Control*

VB 7100 series balers are the first Section Controlled* balers in the world with a GPS automated pick-up. The pick-up is only down when there is crop left for baling. This improves the operators’ comfort throughout the long working day and reduces machine wear, especially when turning onto the headland.

Tractor Implement Management*

Tractor Implement Management (TIM) ensures that operators can constantly get the most out of their tractor and baler, with complete comfort. With TIM, the VB 7100 baler controls the tractor and the entire baling cycle is automated, such as:

– Automatic tractor stop when the bale chamber is full and during binding
– Automatic bale ejection
– Automatic tractor stop in the event of a blockage and full auto deblock of the baler
– Automatic knife cleaning

Task Controller basic and geo-based*

Tasks are recorded, documented and mapped with all related information such as the number of bales, customer and field information, yield and bale weight. Then the data can be transferred to Kuhn EasyTransfer or a Farm Management Information System through agrirouter. With Task Controller basic and geo-based* the operator can concentrate fully on producing bales while an accurate report for the business’ management is created automatically.

Auxiliary Control*

Auxiliary Control* offers optimal ergonomics and comfort during high-speed baling. The baler can be controlled directly with the CCI A3 joystick, which displays all functions, or the AUX-N joystick from the tractor. Various softKey functions can be controlled via the joystick: pick-up operation, tailgate, DROPFLOOR and knives.

All-new user interface

Along with the introduction of Baling Automation, Kuhn comes with a next generation user interface for its balers. The modern designed interface further facilitates easy operation. All information from the baling process is directly visible in the new working screen thanks to Process View. In addition, several work counters can be managed by adding a name and a date, for customer or field management.
