Designed and built to last for all crop conditions. Produces the perfect bale shape and densities to match your requirements with the proven KUHN INTEGRAL ROTOR intake technology.
AUTOMATIC GREASING SYSTEM
SB 1290 iD is designed to produce bales with an extremely high density in all crop conditions. Thanks to the patented TWINPACT plunger technique, the baler has a lower power requirement and lends to more profitable baling operation. Apart from the density, the bale channel, driveline and transmission have been upgraded which lends to further cost savings for the operator. A 200hp tractor is more than capable of producing 500kg plus bales, providing you significant fuel savings.
This combination creates the highest bale quality at the lowest cost. A high quality wrapped bale is achieved through film binding and 3D wrapping techniques. The TWIN-reel film binding and INTELLIWRAP contribute to the lowest film cost per bale.
ISOBUS COMPATIBLE
01283
The TWINPACT:
Designed to produce bales (120 x 90) with up to 25% higher bale density in tough dry straw conditions compared to conventional large square balers.
ISOBUS COMPATIBLE
DOUBLE KNOTTING WITH ELECTRONIC MONITORING
• Ensures intelligent, efficient bale compaction whilst avoiding high peak loads on the machine.
• Gives you the possibility to work with similar tractor sizes as with conventional 120 x 90 balers.
• Produces bales that are 25% heavier in dry crop conditions.
REDUCE COSTS
With the TWIN-REEL film wrapping system SAVE a minimum of 37% on film binding costs. The patented KUHN film binding system uses two 750mm stretchfilm rolls and gives a much high stretch to reduce costs by 37%, reduce the number of roll changes and reduce time.
Watch the video: TWIN-REEL film binding explained
ROBUST BALE CHAMBER
18 POWERTRACK rollers generate high densities and reliable bale rotation all crop conditions. The rollers have built in scrapers to push the material out the way.
INTELLIWRAP
Distributes film uniformly and efficiently across the entire surface of the bale. Use just enough film, with Intelliwrap determine exactly the number of layers required, don’t waste film and use just enough to keep the feed quality high during bale storage.

It is a legal requirement under PUWER 98 Regulations for agricultural trailers to be in roadworthy condition, well maintained and in good working order with records of maintenance held by the owner.
The Tilly Trailer Pass ensures trailers are maintained to the legal standard. An annual 18 point inspection is carried out by authorised technicians. Once completed a Tilly certificate is fixed to the tailgate of the trailer to clearly display a Tilly pass unique number.The number is recorded with the trailer chassis number for a thorough record of the maintenance.
Please call RVT NEWPORT on 01952 822922 for more information or to book in a Tilly Trailer test.
Your tractor plays a vital role throughout the whole year so keep it in top condition with all its parts working as efficiently as possible.

As part of our ongoing expansions we would like to welcome the following new members to the RVT team across our seven depots...
Hello we have had a busy few weeks learning about the CNH Precision Farming product line up and what to expect from 2023. Our Introduction Event to the product range has been a great success with over 65 customers able to ride and drive to try out the technology. We gave an overview of where CNH are heading with their technology portfolio, customers were surprised to see the technology on offer currently, and their plans for the future.
As we venture into spring the team will be busy installing new
technology onto machines and getting current technology updated and ready for the field. We have some interesting projects on the go such as converting a seed drill to full ISOBUS to enable variable rate and section control, implement guidance on more trailed machines, sprayer upgrades on older sprayers enabling section and rate control and many more. Keep a look out for what we can do and things we are up to via our social media pages.
We have recruited two additional members of the team with Harry Hamer and Matthew Meredith joining at the end of last year. Both will bring a great deal of technical knowledge and experience which will enable us to keep up with customer demands and uptime in the field. ‘Projects are becoming more technical these days with some very bespoke installations and by having a team capable of fulfilling our customer requirements we are set up well for the future.’
For any help and support please get in touch, we are here to support all makes and models of machinery with precision farming technology. Our RVT RTK network is fully operational with a series of networked stations across the country providing greater accuracy in the field, especially for those who in various locations.

Slurry Nutrient Analysis & Application Rate Control
• Monitor Nitrogen application rates
• Build a reliable database of data
• Yield potentials known, only in the spatial distribution
• Monitoring of yield, product quality and nutrient use
• Data to help Optimise the production of crops
• Better utilization of manure
• ISOBUS compatible
• In combination with the NIRXACT rate control sensor
Utilising the on board technology and the data capture from specific in field applications can lead to understanding the full impacts of certain agronomic decisions. An example of this happened last year where James Heath trialled variable rate potato planting, something which hadn’t been attempted in the past, to see the results during harvest and the impact it made, which was made possible by having yield monitoring installed on their Grimme harvester a couple of years ago.
The theory behind creating a variable rate seeding map was based upon soil types, the heavier the ground the seed rate was increased up to 10%. As the Grimme planter worked in seed spacing, the map had to be created using this format, for example a standard seed spacing would be 20cm which would then decrease to 14cm to achieve a higher seed rate. At the time of planting the seed spacing locations were recorded on the display and an as applied map created. This can then be used to directly compare to the yield
RAVEN RATE CONTROL MODULE (RCM) DRILL CONVERSION
Conversion of a mechanical Kuhn 3m combi drill to fully electric metering and ISOBUS compatible enabling:
• Variable rate seeding
• More accurate section control
• GPS forward speed
The system uses the existing sensors such as hopper level sensor and fan speed sensor to give a much improved operator control and experience.

map. The results showed a more even yield map, with increased yield in the poorer areas of the field with a more uniform tuber size. In the poorer areas there were less tubers per plant, but more
plants/hectare which
positively impacted yield. This particular field was the best performing in terms of yield averaging 60t/ ha. Variable rate planting is going to rolled out across more fields this year.
