2024 Maschio Gaspardo Extreme 2 Isotronic 286 HTC

EXTREME 2 is the new hybrid round baler with variable chamber and variable geometry that combines the winning characteristics of both fixed and variable chamber round balers. The machine has been designed to guarantee the greatest combination of shapes, pressures (up to 210 bar) and bale sizes up to 5.9 ft. EXTREME 2 offers a perfect balance between high performance and maximum ease of use, which makes it suitable for all types of farms.

The geometry management within the variable chamber is made possible by a double rocker arm controlled by hydraulic cylinders. The first defines the pressure and the diameter of the bale with the possibility of creating a pre-chamber with zero pressure up to 3.6 ft, while the second rocker automatically compensates the tension of the six clinched belts during the formation of the bale. This allows to obtain enormous advantages for those who are attentive to the product quality.

The large 7.2 ft pick-up with pivoting wheels allows to operate even in the presence of not perfectly regular and abundant windrows. Harvest of the product is delicate with any type of forage, even in the case of leafy product. The machine can be equipped with a windrow press roller.

EXTREME series 2 series is polyvalent, in fact there are 4 feeding systems that can be requested: HTI with alternative feeder, HTR rotary feeder without cutting, HTC rotary feeder with 13 knives and HTU rotary feeder with 25 knives. The stars of all rotors are made of high strength HARDOX, to minimise wear during work.

To increase productivity on field and reduce possible downtime, EXTREME 2 has been designed with a new drop floor. This system, which temporarily increases the size of the machine's inlet, allows to quickly solve any blockages due to product excess, facilitating the work of the operator, who can manage and solve the problem from tractor cab.
