OptiCut Crop Chopping System |
|
Vicon's OptiCut crop chopping system
uses 14 or 23 knife chopping rotors. The OptiCut system ensures that 100% of
the crop is cut as it enters the baler and the hydraulically adjustable
knives can be fully in work, fully retracted or set in an intermediate
position.
Pre-chopping the crop prior to the baling process gives three major advantages: the bales can be unrolled and distributed more easily, every bale contains up to 15% more material and in silage, quality is improved due to the more rapid fermentation achieved. Even distribution in feeding wagons is no longer a problem. The benefits of increased bale density also make the transport of silage, hay and straw more cost effective and allow considerable savings on net and plastic film costs. |
