The new KUHN OWS 6500 inline round and square bale wrapper offers exceptional wrapping productivity, while minimizing film and fuel use. This inline wrapper is designed for demanding farmers and custom operators looking for maximum productivity and profitability in a wrapper. The OWS 6500 has the ability to quickly wrap 3’x3’ and 3’x4’ large square bales, up to 6 feet in length, and 4- and 5-foot round bales up to 6 feet in diamater.

The OWS 600 leverages KUHN’s 35 years of experience with individual wrappers by utilizing the same pre-stretchers with an industry leading 70% plastic stretch ratio. This higher stretch ratio provides more efficient plastic use and optimizes bale compression to reduce plastic cost per bale.

Greater management and control of the wrapping process can be achieved through KUHN’s unique IntelliWrap technology. IntelliWrap uses sophisticated electronics and hydraulics to control the wrapping process and allows the operator to easily adjust film layers by one-layer increments. Settings such as film layers, seam layers, bale width and loading gap can bed digitally set from the KUHN VT 30 monitor.

The BaleEye photoelectric sensor accurately and reliably detects a bale on the loading platform with no mechanical moving parts unlike competitive mechanical sensors. To further decrease maintenance, the OWS 6500 features two propulsion wheels for optimal hoop traction in adverse conditions. Non-pneumatic drive wheels, made of industrial-grade polymer, are maintenance free and never go flat.
