2023 Pottinger Impress V 3160 V

The new IMPRESS 3000 series are professional class round balers. Thanks to the innovative crop flow, the IMPRESS delivers the highest capacity, with maximum forage conservation and the lowest power requirement.

The baling chamber is suitable for all crops in all operating conditions. By using up to 32 knives, you can achieve the best chopping quality right up to the edge of the bale. The unique EASY MOVE knife bank, which can be pulled out from the side, gives you a whole new experience of changing knives on a round baler.

The IMPRESS V MASTER and PRO are variable chamber balers that are designed for use in all crops. Thanks to the tangential flow of crop into the baling chamber the bale always starts reliably even with short-chopped dry straw or wet silage. These models have chopping systems with 16 or 32 knives.

The IMPRESS V has no chopping system and is specially designed for baling dry material.

Features may include:

The highest priority

Reliability has the highest priority in forage harvesting. Regardless of how difficult the conditions are, the only goal is to harvest the forage to a high quality standard and before the next rain. Any equipment downtime can quickly cause you to incur major costs. In addition, replacement machines are often not readily available during short harvest windows.

A reliable partner at harvest time is therefore indispensable, as is the PÖTTINGER IMPRESS.

Maximum versatility

The key principle in the development of the IMPRESS round baler was to enable maximum versatility. Changing crops often means the machine needs to be adjusted to the new operating conditions. Although a short chopped length and maximum bale density are in demand for making silage, they are less important for harvesting hay.

For contractors, the requirements can change several times a day. PÖTTINGER gives you a number of features to react quickly. That makes the IMPRESS a reliable all-rounder.

Convenience

Harvesting means a long day in the field. That is why it is all the more important to make your work as convenient as possible. As the driver you are always relaxed, awake and efficient. The IMPRESS offers a range of equipment that is easy to use. The IMPRESS PRO also delivers a wide range of automatic functions. Ideal for maximum throughput every day.

With the EASY MOVE pull-out knife bank, maintenance work can be performed outside the baler and outside the danger zone of the tailgate. You can work on the knives while standing with an upright posture. This ensures maximum work safety and also keeps you clean, as you do not have to climb into the baler.

The knives cannot become jammed because the knife slots are always clean thanks to the top-mounted chopping system.

This makes for an enjoyable working day.

The highest forage quality

Intake losses should be kept as low as possible, while at the same time avoiding ingress of dirt that forms clostridia and coliform bacteria in the forage. These cause butyric acid and acetic acid to form, which would considerably reduce the quality of the silage.

That is why harvesting machines need to work as close to the ground as possible without scraping. Maintaining the correct stubble height of 5-7 cm further reduces the risk of dirt ingress, because the implement does not have to work so close to the ground to collect the forage cleanly and tidily. At the same time, sufficient residual assimilation area remains for the grass to sprout again more quickly. If the field is not level, special attention must be paid to ground tracking of the machinery.
