SMART DENSITY density management.

For optimum belt tensioning in every condition, the SMART density management system controls the two tensioning arms independently of one another. Need rock hard bales both inside and out? Or would you prefer a soft core for your hay bales with a solid outer shell?


Convenient Net Wrapping

The VARIANT has everything you need to make light work of net wrapping. Thanks to the low height, it's easy to load the roll and you can keep sight of it at all times. Dirt and crop residue can easily fall off so that the net roll always remains clean. The braking system of the patented tying system works independently of the size of roll. 


Smooth crop flow for high forage quality.

High forage quality starts even before the bale chamber: The VARIANT models offer a feed or cutting rotor, hydraulic drop floor and centralized or automatic lubrication to ensure smooth crop flow day after day for excellent forage quality in any condition.
