With the LB 8200 and LB 12200 balers Vicon introduces an all-new feeding system. Power Density's even feed to the bale chamber ensures consistent well shaped bales in all crop conditions. Vicon LB balers can be operated just as effectively in a large bulky swath of straw as in a light crop of second cut silage. Power Density with it's fully dynamic non-stop feeding fork, packs crop into a pre-chamber to create wads for the bale, but unlike conventional three-stroke systems, the pre-chamber will not release a wad to the main bale chamber until sufficient material has been gathered and pre-compressed. |

How
Power Density works With "Power Density" a single feeder fork is used to pre-compress the crop. Operating on a continuous cycle, the fork is used to transport the crop upwards into the bale chamber. As the feeder fork continues to fill the pre-chamber, spring loaded wedges are gradually compressed. When they reach their fully rearmost position, they trigger a latch which causes the feeder fork to move through an extended stroke. This pushes the crop up into the main bale chamber, where the plunger continues to form the bale. |

OptiCut 23 with HydroProtect - the ultimate in knife protection Knives are individually protected against foreign objects by a dual circuit hydraulic system with twin accumulators. Any obstruction simply pushes the affected knife to its retracted position, with the accumulator restoring the knife to its working position as the obstruction passes. Where crop chopping is required, the operator can choose to engage all 23 knives or can select alternate banks of 11 or 12 knives, so that in difficult conditions one half of the set can be used in the morning and the other half in the afternoon, maintaining chop quality throughout a long days work. |

Unique twine release system A unique twine release system (option) maintains tension on the twine but, as the bale hook rotates it releases a small amount of twine, thus reducing load on the knotter and ensuring reliable knotting with even the highest density bales. |
