Lely presents the Lely Welger RPC 245 Tornado
Next Tornado coming up
During the 2009 Agritechnica exhibition, Lely presented the Lely Welger RPC 445 Tornado as a Yellow Revolution. The technology that was incorporated in this machine made it the first genuine variable baler wrapper combination. Two years after that successful launch, Lely is presenting the next step: the Lely Welger RPC 245 Tornado. Using the proven RP 245 Profi fixed chamber baler as the basis for this combination, Lely has managed to link the well-known baling qualities of this machine to the fastest wrapping system in the market place.
Fastest wrapper
The set-up of both Tornado models is much the same. The baler is placed higher so the bale can be easily and quickly transferred to the wrapper table. The ring wrapper on the new does not vary in wrapping height because the bales always have the same size. In addition to the fast bale transfer, the machine offers the benefit of a fast starting wrapper ring - even before the tail gate is closed – which means a huge gain in output.
Proven baler inside
The Lely Welger RP 245 Profi baler provides the best silage bales. The 2.25 m camless pick-up has five tine bars to ensure a clean picking up. After that, the 800 mm rotor in conjunction with Xtracut 25-knife chopping system takes care of chopping and transport of the crop to the bale chamber via the Hydroflex feed channel. The 18 steel rollers and mechanical locks on the bale chamber guarantee the highest bale density as well as optimum bale shape. The Profi baler has the heavy duty bearings ensuring reliability and durability in even the most testing conditions.
Single axle, compact transport
The use of a fixed chamber baler means that the Tornado 245 is more compact than ever. The machine has an overall width of 2.70 m. With the ring wrapper in the vertical transport position even the smallest roads can be negotiated. Manoeuvrability is enhanced by the positioning of the single axle.
Both Tornado models are designed to our customers’ demands for high output plus reliability. Our customer now has the ability to choose a fixed or variable baler depending upon his situation and requirements. This is all part of Lely’s strategy of providing the optimum solution. The Lely Welger RPC 245 Tornado will be available in limited numbers for the 2012 season.
