2020 Kuhn North America LSB D Series 890 D OptiFeed

Consistently filled, super-dense, square-edged bales are what every producer demands. KUHN LSB D Series large square balers meet and exceed these expectations, while combining high output and maximum reliability to get the job done fast.

KUHN LSB D Series balers have been built from the ground up to provide you with one of the toughest, most reliable large square balers on the market. The KUHN LSB 890 D (3x3) and 1290 D (3x4) large square balers combine high output and maximum reliability to serve as a perfect fit for commercial hay producers.

The D Series balers have been designed with simple, yet efficient features including Integral Rotor Technology and the Power Density System to produce rock-hard, square-edged bales in all crop conditions. Rasspe® double knotters are not only reliable, but allow you to increase bale density by 10% and the number of bales per hour by 15%. Dual hydraulic-driven fans keep our double knotters clean and our competitors envious. KUHN LSB balers feature the simplest drive system in the industry, fewest moving parts, heaviest standard flywheel and longest standard bale chamber to provide outstanding durability and performance. All KUHN LSB balers are ISOBUS compatible, therefore will not require a separate VT monitor for the baler. You can easily change settings such as bale density or knife activation from the comfort of your tractor seat.

Optimal Crop Pickup

The pickup is designed to match the full capacity of the baler. The wide, 91” pickup, with narrow tine spacing, will leave your fields clean. Straight pickup tines help release the crop and reduce crop wrapping. Uniquely shaped crop guides result in more aggressive and efficient pickup by exposing more of the tine when needed, and by pulling the crop away from the tines as it approaches the intake. The pickup roller compresses the crop against the pickup tines reducing friction, thus reducing leaf loss and increasing baler efficiency by evening out the windrow. In extreme conditions, pivoting gauge wheels ease wheel and tire stress.

To better meet your operation's specific needs, there are three intake options available. Select from one one of our three patented Integral Rotors – the non-cutting OptiFeed rotor, or the 15- and 23-knife OptiCut cutting rotors. Availability dependent on LSB model – See Specifications

Available on KUHN LSB D Series balers is our patented Integral Rotor Technology found on OptiFeed and OptiCut models. This simple, low-maintenance intake system guarantees an enormous throughput capacity at all times. The short distance between rotor and pickup tines maintains consistent crop flow. The design of this force-fed intake makes higher forward speeds possible for increased productivity and reduces crop damage. The Integral Rotor is provided with rotor tines made out of Hardox® wear plates. Hardox combines extreme hardness and toughness to reduce rotor tine wear. Longer wearing life of the rotor tines will help to provide time and money savings for the operator.

When crop cutting is not required, the OptiFeed system ensures a controlled and consistent crop flow to the prechamber. This rotor design helps even out windrows by moving hay where needed for consistent bale formation. This force-fed, non-cutting intake is the perfect solution for handling tough crop conditions such as cornstalks, short straw and high-moisture crops.

The crop feeder allows for up to 15% more capacity in heavy windrows. The crop feeder compresses large windrows down into the integral rotor to improve crop flow.
