The new KUHN VB 560 is one of the most efficient balers on the market. With industry-leading cycle times, thanks to the twin tensioning arm system and the fastest tailgate speed of any 5×6 baler, it offers the productivity needed to put up high-quality hay expected in today’s demanding market. The twin tension arms create rock solid bales that hold their shape for more efficient transport and storage. This baler includes KUHN’s proven front net wrap system, which is now easier than ever to load thanks to an innovative new loading assist bracket. No matter if you’re baling dry hay, corn stalks, high-density baleage or anything in between, the VB 560 is ready to work for you!

Three intake solutions are available on the VB 560 to meet your needs, all of which are silage ready. The new TwinCharge direct feed intake excels in high capacity, high-productivity needs when baling straw, corn stalks or even soybean stubble. The OptiFeed system easily handles a range of crops from silage to dry hay and straw with the proven integral rotor. However, when it comes to no compromise cut hay, the OptiCut 19 knife system easily processes crop down to 2.8″ (7 cm) in size while still baling at high capacities, no need to worry about plugging thanks to an easy-to-use drop floor.

Extreme durability of components means minimum downtime for maximum baling time. Thanks to its heavy-duty design, the balers provide you the robustness and reliability you need. KUHN VB 560 balers are ISOBUS compatible with an intuitive user interface, which is easy to control via the ISOBUS terminal of the tractor or via KUHN’s CCI 50, CCI 800 or CCI 1200 terminals. You can easily change settings such as bale density, bale diameter, or net wrap layers from the comfort of your tractor seat.
