The Vicon BW 1400 is a trailed wrapper
designed for smaller tractors. The machine is very easy to
operate; even the mechanical version offers fully automatic cut
and tie of film.The
hydraulically operated loading fork is positioned on the right
hand side and can handle bales from 1,20 m up to 1,50m diameter.
The clever design of the frame with its extendable wheel arm on
the right hand side allows an increase in track width on the
field. This allows bales up to 1 ton to be loaded without any
counterweights on the machine. The wide spacing of the wheels has
allowed an exceptionally low mounting position for the turntable.
This allows the table to be tilted downwards until it nearly
touches the ground, reducing drop height when unloading bales,
thus ensuring the gentlest possible handling of the wrapped bale.
This reduces the chance of film damage and eliminates the need for
a fall damper or drop mat in normal conditions.
For transport on very narrow roads,
a turnable wheel can also be fitted on the left hand side as an
option.
