EVOLVING AGRICULTURE.

Leader in baling technologyThe ability to produce top quality bales in all crop conditions sets Varimaster balers apart from all others. Perfect shaped bales, combined with huge output and outstanding long durability, ensure that an Varimaster baler will be a profi-

table investment. DeuTz-Fahr has many years of experience in round baler tech-nology and this knowledge has been put to good use, to ensure ease of operation over long working days while achieving consistently high daily outputs.

Profitable operationBale quality and density are fundamen-tal to the profitable operation of a round baler. unique DeuTz-Fahr innovations such as Progressive Density and Integral rotor Technology make a real difference in field performance.

SPEcIAlISTS In ThE ART of BAlIng.

Varimaster balers have the ability to pack the absolute maximum into each bale, increasing the potential for profitable operation by reducing the cost per ton of crop baled, whether operating in silage, hay or straw. DeuTz-Fahr balers are designed to keep service requirements

to an absolute minimum. In the event of a breakdown, an extensive network of professionally trained dealers is fully qualified to provide expert support.

ADVANTAGES

Up to 2.30 m intake widthThe Varimaster Balers offer swath collection from a �.1 m or �.� m wide, fully galvanised pickup that efficiently gathers the heaviest of swaths at high forward speeds.

Integral rotor – a constant flow of crop for optimum throughputDeuTz-Fahr Integral rotor Tech-nology raises intake performance to a new level. Large diameter, heavy duty auger flights are incorporated directly onto the outer sections of

the rotor. Crop is positively handled by three rows of feeding tines arran-ged in a helix pattern, maintaining an even feed, regardless of variations in swath condition. This means the hea-viest of swaths are force-fed through the intake system, resulting in higher

forward speeds for outstanding pro-ductivity.

Smooth crop flowLarge diameter, height adjustable gui-de wheels with pneumatic tyres carry the spring balanced pickup over every

ground contour, resulting in the clea-nest raking job. a crop baffle plate above the pickup helps to even out the flow of material, pre-compressing the crop in front of the rotor regardless of conditions. For the most awkward swaths, the baffle plate can be equip-

ped with a roller press to guide it over the swath for even smoother material flow.

DEUTZ-FAHR OptiCut 14equipped with three rows of tines, the integral rotor used by the 1�-knife OptiCut system is designed for maximum throughput. Bulky crops or light swaths are force-fed into the bale chamber. The 1�-knife OptiCut chopping system cre-ates a chop length of 70mm. Knives and scrapers overlap across the pre-chop-ping area for maximum effi ciency.

Four different intake systems

Designed for the biggest swaths

Open throatThe wide Pickup allows easy handling of the heaviest of swa-ths produced by high capacity combines and mower condi-tioners. With the open throat bale chamber design, there is no restriction when feeding crop into the baler, all of which contributes to high, in-fi eld performance.

Optifeed RotorThe OptiFeed intake rotor with triangular feeding tines and in-tegrated augers provides a positive fl ow of crop into the bale chamber. Integral rotor Technology DeuTz-Fahr integration of a feed rotor into the pickup raises intake performance to a new level. Large diameter, heavy duty auger fl ights are incor-porated directly onto the outer sections of the rotor, giving the crop nowhere to go, but inside the baler.

DEUTZ-FAHR SuperSilage 23SuperSilage, exclusive to DeuTz-Fahr, combines the benefi ts of intensive cutting with �� knives and the simplicity of mechanical protection. each pair of knives is spring protected against damage from hidden foreign objects in the swath.

OptiCut 23 with HydroProtectFor those who want ultimate fl exibility, DeuTz-Fahr offers the OC�� hydroPro-tect. The knives are individually protected against foreign objects by a dual circuit hydraulic system with twin accumulators. any obstruction simply pushes the affected knife to its retracted position, with the ac-cumulator restoring the knife to its working position as the obstruction passes. Where crop chopping is required, the operator can choose to engage all �� knives or can select alternate banks of 11 or 1� knives, so that in diffi cult conditions one half of the set can be used in the morning and the other half in the afternoon, maintaining chop quality throughout a long days work.

BAlEchAMBER. Instant bale starting in all crop conditions

High density bales with a moderate core

ADVANTAGES

With the emphasis on continually impro-ving bale quality and machine performance DEUTZ-FAHR introduces two new variable chamber round balers for use in silage, hay and straw. Badged the Varimaster 60 and Varimaster 90, the new balers offer bale diameters extending from 0.8m up to 1.6m and 1.8 m respectively.

Improved bale rotationBale formation has been refi ned by the use of belts and rollers to start the bale. In this pre-chamber in which moderate or soft cores can be chosen, an immediate bale start is guaranteed. The combinati-on of powered bale rollers and fi ve “Mul-ti-grip” wide-section belts, reduces crop losses and improves bale rotation.

Progressive density bale formationKey to the latest generation Varimaster balers is the development of a progres-sive density bale formation system for improved bale structure.as the bale grows within the bale cham-ber, the belt tensioning arm is subjected to steadily increasing resistance from two hydraulic cylinders and a spring tensioner. So as the bale diameter grows, so does the bale’s density. The result is a very fi rm bale with a moderate core - not too soft, or too hard. With a tougher outer shell, straw bales will be more tolerant to poor weather conditions, while silage bales will maintain their shape for improved sta-cking and easier handling.

WRAPPIng. A neatly wrapped package bale after bale

Twinebinding, netbinding or the combination.

ADVANTAGES

Both outside twines fed together. Centre twines overlapped. No loose ends at edge of bale.

Twine tying systemThe twine binding system reduces overall cycle times and leaves bales neat and tidy. The cycle starts with both twine tubes mo-ving from the centre to the outside of the bale, applying the end wraps fi rst. Then gradually working back to the centre of the bale, the arms fi nally cross over each other during the fi nal stages in the centre of the bale, before the twine is cut.

Twine or netFor those baling in different situations, DeuTz-Fahr offers both twine and net tying systems on the Varimaster balers. By selecting the correct option in the control box, you can choose from either net or twine tying.

Net binding systemWith the new Varimaster balers, DeuTz-Fahr has revolutionised the application of net wrapping. Changing the net roll is now very easy, with simple access at the front of the baler while still standing sa-fely on the ground. and from the tractor seat, the operator now has an excellent view of the tying process. By running the net feed system at 90 % of the bale’s rotationl speed, our engineers have cre-ated constant tension throughout the entire roll of net as it is applied. This fi xed stretch ratio combined with feeding net onto the bale in the shortest, most direct route, provides consistent bale ty-ing conditions regardless of bale size or crop quality.

The Varimaster BalePack baler/wrapper combination offers an unbeatable pa-ckage for profi table one-man baling and wrapping operations. as a world leader in both baling and bale wrapping technolo-gy, DeuTz-Fahr has been able to utilise this expertise to provide a really effective, simple to use machine, capable of working on even the steepest slopes. Fast and re-liable bale transfer combined with a high speed twin satellite wrapping system, give the Varimaster BalePack the capa-city to achieve outputs of up to 60 bales per hour. Key to the success and potential output of any baler/wrapper combination is the design of the bale transfer system. DeuTz-Fahr recognises that not all si-lage is made in perfect fi eld conditions, and the Varimaster BalePack has been

designed to perform even when working on steeply sloping fi elds.

Inherent strength and durabilityThe BalePack is constructed around a strong chassis so loads are evenly distri-buted for minimum stress and maximum

durability. riding on a tandem axle rated at 7.6 tonnes, the Varimaster BalePack gives the operator a comfortable ride whether in fi eld or on road. When equip-ped with ��.�” fl otation tyres, the Bale-Pack still comes in at under � m wide, so manoeuvrability isn‘t compromised.

Twin loading forks for rapid and reliable bale transfer Key to the success and po-tential output of any baler/wrapper com-bination is the design of the bale transfer system. DeuTz-Fahr recognises that not all silage is made in perfect fi eld con-ditions, and the VM BalePack has been designed to perform even when working on steeply sloping fi elds.

The fi rst loading fork (red) collects the bale as it leaves the bale chamber. The wrapping table is tilted forward ready to receive the bale. advantage DeuTz-Fahr: There is no possibility of the bale rolling off the rear of the wrapping table even when facing up a steep slope.

The second loading fork (blue) transfers

the bale onto the wrapping table. The tailgate shuts automatically, with the se-cond fork still in the raised position. ad-vantage DeuTz-Fahr: This saves time and also prevents any chance of the bale rolling forward into the tailgate when fa-cing downhill.

The wrapping table returns to the hori-zontal position and the second loading fork is lowered. The bale sits low on the table supported by four wide belts and four lateral guide rollers. advantage DeuTz-Fahr: regardless of bale size, the table offers good support and allows effective wrapping.

The twin satellite wrapping system with close mounted pre-stretchers rapidly

wraps the balein either conventional or (optional) �D mode. advantage DeuTz-Fahr: Vertically mounted pre-stretch units ensure no grass is sprinkled between the layers of fi lm during wrapping for ef-fective sealing between fi lm layers, pro-moting highest possible silage quality.The low mounted table allows the wrap-ped bale to be gently discharged on the move, either automatically, or more usu-ally at the operators convenience at any time during formation of the next bale. advantage DeuTz-Fahr: When working on sloping ground, the wrapped bale can be discharged while net is being applied to the following bale, saving time and in-creasing output potential.

Lower film consumption

Reduced production costs, increasing profit

Absolutely air-tight - higher silage quality

ADVANTAGES

Clean film cutters.

In addition to high speed conventional wrapping, the Varimaster BalePack can also be equipped with the revolutionary �D wrapping system. �D wrapping is a new and innovative way of applying stretch film to big bale silage and haylage, offering se-veral significant benefits over conventio-

nal wrapping. Key to the �D process is its ability to distribute the total film quantity more uniformly across the entire surface of the bale. When working with six lay-ers of film and above, it can potentially offer savings of 10 - �0 % on film usage, reducing costs. �D comes into its own

when wrapping high value crops, where maintaining the quality of forage is the ultimate goal. The �D cycle starts with the pre-stretchers making one rotation to attach the wrap to the bale, they then swivel through 90 degrees to the horizon-tal position and apply two wraps around

the circumference and over the edges of the bale, before returning to the vertical position to apply the remaining � layers. The bale is finally rotated one complete turn on the table to assist in sealing the layers of film together before the bale is discharged.

The 3D cycle starts with the pre-stretchers making one rotation to attach the wrap to the bale, they then swivel through 90 degrees to the horizontal position and apply two wraps around the diameter and over the edges of the bale, before returning to the vertical position to apply the remaining 4 layers.
