2025 Kuhn VB 7100 Series 7190 Optifeed

The KUHN VB 7100 Series sets a new standard in round baling. These balers offer you high performance, producing dense bales and giving a high capacity in all crop conditions. The heavy-duty design guarantees maximum lifetime with minimum downtime. Where others stop, the KUHN VB 7100 Series starts.

Features may include:

• Produce high-density bales with densities of up to 8.8 lbs/ft³ (140 kg/m³) in straw thanks to the new KUHN patented i-DENSE system. This intelligent twin tensioning arm system in combination with the measurements of the moisture sensor, automatically adapts the baling pressure according to the different crops and crop conditions, without intervention from the driver.

• The VB 7100 twin tensioning arm system is able to reach extremely high bale pressures to create rock solid bales. However, you may not always want bales of max density depending on your particular crops and operation. I-DENSE allows the driver to set the core density and the bale’s outer layer density independently of one another. When the VB 7100 starts baling a crop which is higher/lower than the threshold moisture level that the operator selected, the core and outer layer densities can adapt separately to the new conditions.

• Twin tensioning arms provide higher density from improved belt tension and belt control.

• The first tensioning arm, which is located in the front half of the chamber, maintains the shape of the bale as it grows. This arm also distributes the tension of the belts around the diameter of the bale. The second tensioning arm is responsible for creating the high-tension force on the belts, which is required to form an extremely dense bale. This second tension arm also keeps tension on all belts when the tailgate is opening and closing. Added belt tension, while the baler is open, allows the VB 7100 to have the fastest tailgate cycle in the industry. To complete a full tailgate cycle it only takes four seconds.

• The VB 7100 Series round balers feature a wide pickup with a large diameter crop roller. The pickup is designed to maximize the full capacity of the machine. With a working width of 90 inches (230 cm), the machine is capable of working in all windrows and will not let you down, even in the toughest conditions. Heavy-duty straight pickup tines help release the crop and reduce crop wrapping. The standard crop roller compresses the crop against the pickup tines reducing friction, thus reducing leaf loss and increasing baler efficiency by evening out the windrow.

• Stripper bands, with a unique profile on the 90” pickup, result in more aggressive and efficient pickup by exposing more of the pickup tine when needed and by pulling the crop away from the tines as it approaches the intake. A cam track pulls the tines straight down in the rearward position to avoid wrapping, making this the most intelligently designed pickup on the market today.

• To better meet your operation's specific needs, there are two intake options available. Choose one of our two patented Integral Rotors – the non-cutting OptiFeed rotor or the OptiCut cutting rotor.

• Available across the entire KUHN variable chamber baler range is our patented Integral Rotor Technology found on OptiFeed and OptiCut models. This simple, low-maintenance intake system guarantees an enormous capacity at all times. KUHN’s integral rotor design is proven in all crops and conditions. New for the VB 7100 Series, is an integral rotor featuring a tri-lobe design, which allows for superior feeding. The short distance between rotor and pickup tines maintains consistent crop flow.
