High Performance in a Simple PackageConsistently filled, super-dense, square-edged bales are what every producer demands. The KUHN LSB 870 large square baler meets and exceeds these expectations, while combining high output and maximum reliability to get the job done fast.
High performance in a simple package – this describes the KUHN LSB 870 perfectly. The LSB 870 is a simple, large square baler that produces rock-hard, well-shaped bales at a lower price point. The LSB 870 is a baler designed for the smaller dairy or beef producer, or horse hay producer. The smaller bale is easier to handle and includes a flake size that is more ideal for handfeeding livestock.
The 870 is a 2x3 baler and features a 15-knife cutting or non-cutting integral rotor that provides high-performance bale throughput in diverse crop conditions. Packed with many of the same features as the LSB D Series, the LSB 870 varies in that its high-density bales are tied together by the simple, trouble-free Twin-Step knotting system.
Features may include:
Power Density – The KUHN SolutionThe Importance of Bale Shape: Consistently shaped bales provide more than just aesthetic appeal. A dense, consistently filled bale represents quality in every form. Square bales are easy to handle and stack. In addition, they are much more stable during transport than a poorly formed bale. In silage applications, a square-edged bale indicates less air content, resulting in higher quality feed.
The KUHN Power Density system, a single feeder fork design, proves that a well-engineered component can eliminate complexity. This system ensures consistently filled flakes and results in heavy, square-edged bales regardless of the windrow condition.
The single feeder fork combines two functions into one mechanism, eliminating unneeded components and complexity. KUHN’s exclusive Power Density system runs at twice the speed of the plunger allowing a minimum of one flake formed per plunger stroke. This creates consistent bale shape and excellent density.
The Bale ChamberThe specially designed bale chamber of the KUHN LSB machines is the result of more than 35 years of experience in large square balers. With the 10-foot long bale chamber, there is plenty of space to form a rock-hard, square-edged bale. The combination of aggressive retainers and special wedge-shaped doors brings maximum compaction and gentle expansion of the bale.
Forty-six plunger strokes per minute result in a high bale capacity. The plunger is guided by four large rollers with a 5 diameter for maximum service life.
Power Density – How Does It Work?1. The integral rotor actively delivers the crop to the chamber.
2. The single-acting feeder fork lifts the feed up to the measuring plates.
3. The single-acting feeder fork continues to form the bale flake until the measuring plate is pushed back with a predetermined force.
4. Once the measuring plate is pushed back, it locks the single-acting feeder fork to push the perfectly formed flake into the bale chamber.
