Reliability has the highest priority in forage harvesting. Regardless of how difficult the conditions are, the only goal is to harvest the forage to a high quality standard and before the next rain. Any equipment downtime can quickly cause you to incur major costs. In addition, replacement machines are often not readily available during short harvest windows.
A reliable partner at harvest time is therefore indispensable, as is the PÖTTINGER IMPRESS.
PÖTTINGER devoted particular attention to reliability in the development of the IMPRESS. Tangential crop flow into the baling chamber, optimised bale starting volume, and four starter rollers on the variable chamber models to ensure a reliable start to the bale. This is also ensured even in difficult operating conditions such as in brittle straw and wet silage while using up to 32 knives.
The reliability of the IMPRESS in combination with a short-chop system was previously not available on round balers, especially when baling straw.
Regardless of whether the sun is shining or it is raining, or whether you are baling straw, hay or silage - reliability in all operating conditions is a key feature of the PÖTTINGER IMPRESS
The controlled pick-up collects all the crop and transfers it to the rotor. Even if it is wet autumn grass, working on a downwards slope, or both. The newly designed forage flow keeps the chopping system clean and operating reliably. The cleaning rollers keep the belts clean to keep the bale rotating. Once the bale has been formed, it can be tied with net or binding film.
"We have been using PÖTTINGER products for 25 years and are pleased with their reliability. That was also the reason why we bought the IMPRESS 155 V PRO in 2016. Now it has 38,000 bales on the counter - about 75% with straw and 25% with hay.
So far, the main drive chains have only been replaced once and the smaller chains twice. The belts are still the originals. The baler is extremely reliable and does a great job. Typical PÖTTINGER."
