Fendt Rotana: new-generation round balers from Fendt

The Fendt Rotana is the first model of a new generation of round balers. In the future, it will replace the Fendt 1125 F, 2125 F and 2125 F Profi balers and will complement the Fendt 4160 V and Fendt 4180 V variable chamber balers.

At the Fendt Field Day in Wadenbrunn, Fendt is presenting this new range, made up of the Rotana 130 F fixed chamber baler and the Rotana 130 F Combi and Rotana 160 V Combi baler-wrapper combinations.

Highlights of the new Fendt Rotana range
Technology for robustness
To keep wear as low as possible, all Rotana models have a pinion with an integrated freewheel that can turn a full 360°. If a blockage suddenly occurs during the baling process, the pinion keeps turning, which allows the bale to be slowed down and completed. The new pinion thus protects all of the chamber drive components from any additional wear in the event of a blockage.

The new drive concept of the Fendt Rotana also promises increased durability, as well as better transmission of power from the drive to the rollers of the baling chamber. The main drive is now split across two chains. This ensures even power distribution and protects the drive from wear.

For perfect bale density
The rollers have been redesigned on all new fixed chamber Fendt Rotana models, and the chamber diameter has been reduced in the lower front section. This innovative roller arrangement ensures more reliable bale rotation, higher bale density and higher throughput.

In addition, a sensor that precisely measures the uniformity of bale density has been installed. From the last 30 percent of the baling process, a display on the terminal helps the operator achieve a uniform bale shape: the operator sees the optimal way to follow the windrow, to determine whether to drive further to the right or to the left.

New design, new controls
The design of the new generation of round balers has also been refined. Above all, the side door cover has been modified from both an aesthetic and a functional point of view. Customers using the Fendt Rotana models will benefit from easier access to the inside of the machine, as the two side covers open in one piece.

The Fendt round baler can now also be controlled via ISOBUS (optional), as well as with the E-Link Control and E-Link Pro control terminals.

The optimised transfer system of the Rotana models guides each bale safely from the baling chamber to the wrapping table. A movable transfer arm brings the bales directly onto the lower table. To prevent the bale from slipping on slopes and to ensure a secure transfer, the bale transfer ramp is also equipped with movable side parts.

In addition, the inclination angle of the main chamber has been reduced by 8° to improve stability when working on slopes, as well as the throughput of the baler-wrapper combinations.

Great wrapping flexibility
By choosing a baler-wrapper combination, the customer does not give up flexibility: wrapping the bales is not mandatory, particularly when baling straw. The wrapping table is equipped on the right and left with two lateral support rollers that ensure optimal hold during wrapping.

For greater flexibility when wrapping, all Rotana baler combinations are fitted as standard with a film pre-stretch system. Customers can thus choose between three stretch levels depending on the type and quality of the film: a stretch of 55, 70 or 90 percent can be selected.
