Kverneland FastBale Premium- Innovative non-stop fixed chamber baler-wrapper combination

On Tuesday, July 2nd, a team from Kverneland Group Sweden embarked on a world record attempt at the farm of Bro Godås in Säffle, Sweden. The objective was to achieve the maximum number of bales produced within 24 hours of continuous operation.

In preparation, 105 hectares of heavy grass were pre-cut. At 17:00, Oscar Svantesson Mander initiated the challenge using a 240 hp tractor and the latest Kverneland Non-Stop Baler-Wrapper combination, the "Kverneland FastBale Premium." The attempt resulted in a world record of 1,587 wrapped bales.

The record was accomplished under full practical conditions, including travel time between fields, machine maintenance, and the replacement of net/film, all factored into the total baling time.

Per Frankelius – Associate Professor, Docent from the University of Linköping (Agtech Sweden) witnessed the attempt. Utilising the new telematics system "Kverneland Sync," he and the team members were continuously updated on critical machine parameters and performance indicators via the digital platform "Kverneland FarmCentre."

  Collecting data remotely with the new telematics system, “Kverneland Sync”.

“It was great to see and experience the ease of using such a Non-Stop baling system”, Oscar Svantesson Mander says after driving for the first few hours of the attempt. “It is a lot more comfortable and convenient not having to stop the tractor every minute. We would have never achieved this output if I had to do so.” This is a true testament to how the Kverneland FastBale Premium works, as it can continuously wrap bales without stopping. This record is more remarkable because we achieved it in real world conditions, including the time moving between fields. We achieved almost 1.1 bales every minute over 24 hours!”
