20 years Bale-In-One – Customer testimonials

For us the BIO is the ideal combi machine to work on all ground conditions. It is lightweight and extremely maneuverable due to its single axle design; this makes it a very capable baler on steeper grounds. The unique Bale-In-One concept enables both baling and wrapping operations to be combined within one machine. Therefore, we only need one tractor and one operator to do the job. The KUHN INTEGRAL ROTOR system offers an enormous and unmatched throughput capacity which we are very impressed by.

I was interested in film binding because I could see the advantages of having extra layers of wrap to protect the crop. The KUHN concept uses the normal 750 mm wrap for binding. We can have a pallet of normal wrap that will do the film binding and the wrapping and this film is recyclable. This made me purchase the i-BIO+ in January 2020.

Film binding is really taking hold, more and more customers want it. Last year I produced  some bales with net wrap, but this year every bale will be bound with film.

The versatility of the baler is valuable to me. With its low weight of 3.7 t, the machine operates as a baler-wrapper but it can also work as a standard baler at the same time, for example for dry material harvesting. Large wide-track wheels and low center of gravity make it easy to work on challenging conditions. My model features a wide pick-up and a 14-knife OPTICUT rotor. The wider pick-up improves throughput to generate that desired bale formation and density, whilst the OPTICUT rotor, enables the forage to be chopped to a desired length.

My fellow farmers, who also own i - BIO balers, have noted that it considerably shortens the TMR (Total Mixed Ration) preparation time. If I were to buy another baler-wrapper in the future, I think I would go for the new i-BIO+ model.
