The new RF 235

Vicon RF 235 - 255

Adding a new dimension to bale density

From the leaders in baling technology

A new generation of fixed chamber balers which add a new dimension to bale density. The new RF  235-255 models are designed for intensive professional use in heavy silage conditions. A new bale chamber with either 14 or17 BaleTrack rollers ensures consistently high density bale formation in all conditions.

Designed for the biggest swaths!

Tandem axle option allows up to 60 km/h

 

Vicon PowerPush - Fast and easy unblocking

Should a blockage occur, clearance is straightforward with the unique new Vicon PowerPush system. The blockage is gently pushed through by increasing the torque on the rotor  hydraulically from the tractor cab. In no time the blockage is cleared - and baling can continue. If a foreign  object has been picked up, the system can also be used to reverse the rotor.

Integral rotor a constant flow of crop for optimum throughput

Vicon Integral Rotor Technology 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 transferred directly into three rows of feeding tines arranged in a helix pattern maintaining an even feed, regardless of variations in swath presentation. This means the heaviest of swaths are force-fed through the pre-chopping mechanism and a positive feed allows faster forward speeds for outstanding productivity levels.

Vicon OptiCut system with 14 or 23 knives

Equipped with an "OptiCut" prechopping system the RF 235/255 can increase bale weights and improve silage quality. OptiCut pre-chopped bales are also easier to open and add into the feed ration, a particular benefit for customers working with diet feeders.

A rugged design, with attention to details

Produced from high-grade steel, BaleTrack profile rollers are constructed from two overlapped pressed sections which are then fully seam welded for maximum rigidity. Radial support rings located inside each section give further support, while the end plate and roller stub shafts are forged in one piece, which ensures the forces imposed in heavy silage conditions are equally distributed throughout the entire roller.

PowerLock gives consistent bale density

Strong, rear door hydraulic cylinders work in combination with a hydraulic lock valve to produce  maximum baling density at any time. The opening and closing time of the tail gate is reduced to a minimum meaning more bales per hour and  improved efficiency.
