2024 Kuhn VBP 3200 Series 3290

Two KUHN technologies combined into one machine—the VBP 3200 Series Variable Baler-Wrapper Combination BalePacks. These machines not only produce high-quality round bales, but securely wrap them to maximum efficiency and preserve forage quality.

The VB 3200 Series begin with a standard VB 3260 or VB 3290 variable chamber baler and combines it with an advanced bale wrapping system. The VBP 3260 and 3290 feature multiple in-cab controlled functions and are designed to work in demanding conditions.

Fast and reliable bale transfer, combined with a high-speed, twin-satellite wrapping unit equipped with IntelliWrap, gives the KUHN VBP BalePacks the capacity to reach an output of up to 60 bales per hour. That’s one bale per minute!

Features may include:

• All VBP 3200 models feature a wide pickup with standard crop roller. The pickup is designed to maximize the full capacity of the machine. With a working width of 91” (2.3 m), the machine can work in all windrows and won’t let you down, even in the toughest conditions. Straight pickup tines help release the crop and reduce crop wrapping. The pickup roller compresses the crop against the pickup tines reducing friction, thus reducing leaf loss and increasing baler efficiency by evening out the windrow.

• Cam-shaped crop guides result in more aggressive and efficient pickup by exposing more of the tine when needed and by pulling the crop away from the tines as it approaches the intake. The cam track then pulls the tines straight down in the rearward position to avoid wrapping.

• Patented Integral Rotor Technology found on the VBP 3165 baler-wrapper combination. This simple, low-maintenance intake system guarantees an enormous throughput capacity at all times. The short distance between rotor and pickup tines maintains consistent crop flow. The design of this force-fed intake makes higher forward speeds possible for increased productivity and reduces crop damage. The Integral Rotor on all models is provided with rotor tines made out of Hardox® wear plates. Hardox combines extreme hardness and toughness to reduce rotor tine wear. Longer wearing life of the rotor tines will help to provide time and money savings for the operator.

• The Progressive Density Plus system is now standard on all VBP 3260-3290 models. Compared to the Progressive Density system, Progressive Density delivers up to 10% greater densities in dry crops such as hay, straw and cornstalks.

• The 5 belt, 3 roller design of the VBP 3200 Series bale chamber ensures fast, consistent bale formation. The aggressive profile of the top chamber roller improves crop contact and reduces crop loss. The front segment of the baler is fitted with a large smooth roller and driven cleaning roller that prevents crop build up at the front of the machine. The unique mix of the KUHN Progressive Density Plus system and smart bale chamber design ensures perfect bale formation every time.

• One of the final steps in creating the perfect bale is the wrap. Securing a bale to protect it from the elements and from losing its shape is one of the most crucial steps. The less time required to secure the bale, the higher the baling operation output.
