Pottinger Round Balers

The perfect flow

The new IMPRESS 3000 series are professional class round balers. Thanks to the innovative crop flow, the IMPRESS delivers the highest capacity, with maximum forage conservation and the lowest power requirement.

The baling chamber is suitable for all crops in all operating conditions. By using up to 32 knives, you can achieve the best chopping quality right up to the edge of the bale. The unique EASY MOVE knife bank, which can be pulled out from the side, gives you a whole new experience of changing knives on a round baler.

Fixed chamber balers are suitable for all operating conditions, but are particularly well-known for baling silage. Their robust design with 18 compression rollers ensures reliable bale rotation at the highest baling pressures and shortest chop lengths. The PRO achieves 36 mm when using all 32 knives, the MASTER 72 mm with 16 knives.

The baling chamber is driven by 5/4" high strength simplex chains which is equipped with automatic chain greasing and tensioning and is durable and reliable. The tensioners have clear indicators for easy adjustment.

All IMPRESS F balers are equipped with a 2.05 m wide, controlled floating pick-up.

As an option, or as standard on PRO models, there is a 2.30 m pick-up. A movable conveyor floor is also provided as standard for the removal of blockages. The bale density and the net binding can be operated from the control terminal on all fixed chamber models.

Reliability - The highest priority

Reliability has the highest priority in forage harvesting. Regardless of how difficult the conditions are, the only goal is to harvest the forage to a high quality standard and before the next rain. Any equipment downtime can quickly cause you to incur major costs. In addition, replacement machines are often not readily available during short harvest windows.

A reliable partner at harvest time is therefore indispensable, as is the PÖTTINGER IMPRESS.

Reliability in all conditions

PÖTTINGER devoted particular attention to reliability in the development of the IMPRESS. Tangential crop flow into the baling chamber, optimised bale starting volume, and four starter rollers on the variable chamber models to ensure a reliable start to the bale. This is also ensured even in difficult operating conditions such as in brittle straw and wet silage while using up to 32 knives.

The reliability of the IMPRESS in combination with a short-chop system was previously not available on round balers, especially when baling straw.

Reliable operation

Regardless of whether the sun is shining or it is raining, or whether you are baling straw, hay or silage - reliability in all operating conditions is a key feature of the PÖTTINGER IMPRESS

The controlled pick-up collects all the crop and transfers it to the rotor. Even if it is wet autumn grass, working on a downwards slope, or both. The newly designed forage flow keeps the chopping system clean and operating reliably. The cleaning rollers keep the belts clean to keep the bale rotating. Once the bale has been formed, it can be tied with net or binding film.

38,000 bales with one set of belts

"We have been using PÖTTINGER products for 25 years and are pleased with their reliability. That was also the reason why we bought the IMPRESS 155 V PRO in 2016. Now it has 38,000 bales on the counter - about 75% with straw and 25% with hay.

So far, the main drive chains have only been replaced once and the smaller chains twice. The belts are still the originals. The baler is extremely reliable and does a great job. Typical PÖTTINGER."
