• An optional camera enhances visibility and safety by displaying the area behind the baler, allowing drivers to monitor bale quality and improve shunting safety.

• New twine binding options enable the release of four threads simultaneously, reducing idle time and increasing the machine's capacity to transport up to eight rolls of twine.

• The LED lighting package has been optimized to include LED back lights and maintenance lights, enhancing safety in road traffic.

• The new options for Fendt Rotana round balers have been available for order since June 2025.

Depending on region and operation, farmers need bales bound with twine, net or film. Fendt Rotana round balers off all of these options. The semi-automation when changing from net to film binding, a camera to monitor bale ejection are new, as well as the new development for twine tying.

The baler magazine is controlled right from the tractor cab

In 2023, Fendt introduced the patented rotating quick-change system to switch between net and film baling, and thus made the transition to another roll of binding material more ergonomic. Drivers can now equip the baler magazine with up to three rolls for the working day. The change of rolls was previously done by manual turning of the baler magazine. With the new option, the change can be made right from the tractor cab. So only the insertion of the film or net into the feed arms must still be done manually. This option is available for the variables and the fixed chamber combinations.

A new camera is available as an option for the Fendt Rotana round balers. The camera primarily displays the area behind the round baler. So drivers can check the quality of the bound bales right from the cab and make necessary adjustments more quickly. In addition, the camera increases safety during shunting movements in the yard, because there is better visibility of the area behind the round baler.

New options for twine binding

Twine binding of round bales is widespread, especially in France. The Fendt Rotana now offers new options for this market. Previously, it was usual to release two threads of twine in parallel. Now four threads can be released simultaneously and this significantly reduces the idle time when binding. In addition, there is more available space to transport rolls of twine. So eight rolls can now be transported and the machine's capacity is significantly increased. The various models of Fendt round balers have always been tested in Wolfenbüttel with the most varied round baler binding twines and can be flexibly equipped and are reliable in use.

The LED lighting package was further optimized and now offers LED back lights in addition to LED maintenance lights under the side flaps. These further increase safety in road traffic.

The new options have been available for order since June 2025.
