WELGERS line-up of big square balers increases by a factor of one, for the 1998 season. The introduction of the D 4050 machine brings the total number available from Lely (UK) to four models.
Slotting in between the D 4000 and D 6000 balers the new version – which is basically a cutter version of the D 4000 – produces bales with a cross section measuring 0.8m x 0.7m (31.5in x 27.5in). Its cutting equipment comprises a 15-knife system positioned behind a 2.25m (7ft 3in) wide pick-up.
As with other models, shaft drives are used throughout and ram speed is set at 64 strokes a minute. Electronic control of bale density is included in the specification as is a double clutch on the flywheel to protect the baler from excessive power peaks – yet maintain drive.
Price of the D 4050 baler with Proficut – Welgers cutting system – is £65,950. *
Welgers new D 4050 big baler, complete with the Proficut cutter unit, goes through its paces. Bale length can be adjusted from 90cm to 250cm.
