KUHN Square bale Wrapper SW 4014

KUHN introduces a true innovation in square bale wrapping with the SW 4014.

Invention awarded a silver medal at the AGRITECHNICA 2015 innovation awards.

This versatile self-loading square bale wrapper features a unique AutoLoad function for nonstop fully automatic wrapping and has the additional advantage of wrapping large square, medium square and round bales.

Unique features of the SW 4014 Square bale Wrapper;

• Fully automatic operation; the innovative AutoLoad function on the SW 4014 provides nonstop fully automatic wrapping of square and round bales without interference from the driver. AutoLoad detects approaching bales, automatically scans the length of the bale and sets the loading arms into pre-load position, resulting in high accurate loading, wrapping and unloading of the bale on the go. This leads to an increased overall capacity and creates a more ergonomic and stress less working environment during a long working day.

• Outstanding stability; thanks to its solid design, with incorporated hydraulic sliding frame, an extreme wide track is achieved for outstanding stability of the machine. This unique “drive through” operation enables easy loading of the bale and excellent visibility of the wrapping process. The SW 4014 has an operational width of 4 m in the field and 2.5 m during transport.

• Optimal versatility; the SW 4014 is capable of wrapping large square, medium square and round bales up to 1500 kg and a maximum bale length of 200 cm. Wrapping round bales up to 140 cm in diameter is possible without any optional equipment or mechanical adjustments. All predefined bale dimensions can easily be selected via the terminal.

• Exceptional bale handling; the smart design of the SW 4014 guarantees easy (un)loading of the bales, front- and backwards, even when dropped in hard-to-reach locations. All bales are being (un)loaded without the risk of damaging or soil contamination because of the wide entrance between the 2 patented* pair of steel rollers.

• Excellent wrapping; the positioning of the patented* shorter top rollers allow the film roll holders to be positioned as low as possible. As a result, the film is wrapped closer to the centre of the bale with less wrinkling, ensuring an optimum oxygen barrier for excellent silage quality. Greater management and control of the wrapping process can be achieved by our unique IntelliWrap™. Applying odd number of layers (4,5,6,7,8,9…), adjustable film overlap and a user friendly wrapping interface are key features of IntelliWrap™. IntelliWrap™ provides well-shaped, tightly sealed bales and therefore higher quality silage.

• ISOBUS control; with the advanced, yet simple ISOBUS control this wrapper offers multiple in cab controlled functions such as unloading of bales in selected position (e.g. knots on top, unload at short side).

• Fuel savings; the SW 4014 can be operated with a broad range of tractors because of a limited oil flow requirement (45 litre, maximum of 60 litres). As an option, the wrapper can be equipped with a PTO driven oil supply for optimal wrapping capacity. The tractor can run at lower engine rpm for significant fuel savings. Further fuel savings can be achieved by running on 500E / 750E rpm PTO speed. In addition, the PTO driven oil supply is a closed system and there is no risk of oil contamination from different tractors and less chance of dirt in the system.
