Important Features of the Lely Round Baler

One of the biggest points that Lely Welger hammer home is the feed rotor or chopping unit. Opt for the feed rotor and you have a highly durable rotor made from resilient steel. Choose the chopping unit and you have 3 extra choices, depending on how short or long you need the hay.

“The Welger RP 535 can be fitted with a feed rotor or the same cutting systems as the RP 445 – Mastercut13, Xtracut17 and Xtracut25. In addition these balers come with Hydroflexcontrol. This feature clears blockages from the feed rotor without leaving the tractor seat, which gives increased work output.”

Other great features include:

• A huge bale chamber for enormous volume capacity—4 cubic metres to be exact.
• Constant pressure system for highest possible bale density.
• Wide front for easy pickup and large intake possibilities.

Just hitch it up to the back of your tractor and you’re ready to rock and roll.
