The future of baling technology –
now !... with Welger RP 235 !
Many agricultural machine manufac-
turers react to the constantly rising
demands of agriculture. By means
of constant market observation and
close customer discussions, we at
Welger try to recognise trends and
initiate developments early on for
innovative solutions. As a result, Wel-
ger offers machinery that is usually
well ahead of its time. Consequently,
Welger customers are also a step
ahead of their colleagues.
The requirements of every farm are
different. The Welger RP 235, RP 235
PROFI models, with their complete
range of options enables all farmers
to purchase the ideal machine for
his needs.

The best for professionals – RP 235 PROFI

XtraCut25 – Increased

Another outstanding development
is the chopping unit: XtraCut25
With its 25 extra long blades, the cut-
ting quality is considerably improved.

about all operating
functions and enables
easy preselection, and
adjustment of the various
operating units.

Roller bearings to suit the professional user

The Welger round baler 235 Profi is
fitted all round, right and left, with
extra strong 50 mm diameter roller
shafts.
The strength of these shafts ensures
precise alignment of the sprockets
minimizing chain wear.
In addition, exceptionally large long-
lasting roller bearings are also fitted.
Well lubricated for success
The roller lubricating device, available
as an optional extra, minimizes the
maintenance required and provides
an extension to the service life of the
roller bearings.
This provides the peace of mind that
the professional requires!

Maintenance – made easy !

Ease of maintenance
A good design
is a functional design.
Not only was an „attractive”
appearance important to us
in the newly designed
panelling, easy access
to all major assemblies
was also a high priority.

The doors are raised in seconds so

that the routine maintenance work
can easily be carried out.
This is for the more efficient ! –
drive train technology of the highest quality !
POWERSPLIT- split power
drive concept ... designed for
outstanding performance
Machines with a massive throughput
obviously require a drive system that
is able to withstand the consequent
high loads.
In the new Welger round balers
RP 235 and RP 235 PROFI, the
POWERSPLIT transmission equally
divides the total amount of power
required by the rotor and bale
chamber.
Also, this patented split drive train
requires a reduced amount of tractor
power.
Strength all round – Technology from Welger !
Mechanical tailgate locking
The best balers are worthless if the tail
gate can open during operation.
That’s why Welger fits as standard a
mechanical tail gate lock.
Hydraulic systems have the reputation,
amongst other disadvantages, to open
under high load, while the hooks of
the Welger machine frame and tail-
gate securely lock.
POWERGRIP steel rollers
The RP 235 POWERGRIP steel rollers
ensure the highest bale compression
and excellent baling performance and
rotation under all operating conditions.
In a special manufacturing process,
the 10 ribs on each roller are pressed
into the thick-walled tube. Due to each
roller being seamless, the material
structure gives the rollers an unequal-
led strength and long life.
The finished bales are uniformly den-
ser, well formed and with remarkably
low crop losses.
Permanent tailgate guide
The round baler RP 235 is fitted with
a special tailgate guide.
A spigot ensures that even on extreme
hillside conditions, the tailgate will al-
ways close precisely.
Roller bearings
that are kept clean
It is impossible to prevent dust and
harvest residues from penetrating
the area of the roller bearings.
Thus everything fits together
exactly where it should.
Strength pays for itself!
Welger machines have a reputation
for their unrivalled strength and quality
for many years now, and the RP 235
continues this reputation.
For many years, Welger has gained
outstanding experience with a clearing
paddle.
Incoming material is transported
through an opening in the side wall,
away from the bearing.
Wide angle PTO shaft
The 80° wide angle PTO shaft, with
a quick release lock on the tractor end,
is attached simply. It allows tight turns
without the need to turn off the PTO.
This makes the machine extremely
easy to manoeuvre and protects the
power take-off shaft coupling.
The standard, auto re-set clutch
protects the machine against any
overload. Easy to operate with
no time consuming replacement
shear bolts required.
Twine or net wrapping – fast, reliable, economic !
VARIOTWIN
The special feature of this twine wrap-
ping system is the variator control.
With this facility, the bales receive
extra twine on the bale edges, even
where there is a wide distance bet-
ween the twine in the centre of the
bale. In this way, even dry, difficult
to hold crops can be securely, quickly
and economically tied.
The material intake –
state-of-the-art technology from Welger !
Wide pick up with ball-
bearings throughout
The pick up of a baler operates in an
area that is known for wear. In parti-
cular, the high proportion of contami-
nation that occurs here leaves no chan-
ce for standard bearings or bushes to
last, such as those used in some other
machines.
VARIONET-Net wrapping with
EASY LOAD SYSTEM (ELS)
The net wrapping, VARIONET, which
has been well proven to be extremely
reliable, has again been considerably
improved.
With the „EASY LOAD SYSTEM”
insertion of the net roll could not
be any easier.
Welger sets new standards here.
Specially sealed grooved ball-bearings
ensure not only low power, they also
exceed the service life of a normal
bearing many times over.
After being loaded in from the side,
the new net roll is simply located to
the back of the storage container,
and then loaded into the operating
position where it is locked in place.
This saves time and effort!
Precise height control through a spring-
balanced hydraulic lifting device and
accurately adjustable guide wheels on
both sides are standard, also available
as an option are castor wheels.
VARIONET – perfect opera-
tion, child’s play to operate
VARIONET places the net evenly and
securely around the well shaped bales,
when using the wide nets even over
the bale edges.
This provides perfect protection from
the effects of the weather and reduces
fodder loss and improving the quality.
HYDROFLEXCONTROL –
exclusively only to Welger!
HYDROFLEXCONTROL
We don’t need
a reversing system!
The HYDROFLEXCONTROL is a well
proven Welger feature. In contrast to
other round balers the feed channel
floor into the bale chamber is not
welded to the baler chassis but is
suspended with a flexible mounting.
With this innovative design the floor
can move up and down slightly to al-
low small stones or unevenness in the
swath to pass through thus avoiding
any blockages in the rotor. This move-
ment of the feed table floor reduces
the risk of damage to important machi-
ne components and therefore avoids
any interruptions in work.
The HYDROFLEXCONTROL floor can
also be opened and closed from the
tractor seat by two hydraulic rams.
This not only allows easy access for
changing or altering the cutting width
of the knives but in the case of a bloc-
kage the feed table can simply be ope-
ned allowing the block to be conveyed
into the bale chamber without any loss
of crop. After a few seconds work can
resume.
The HYDROFLEXCONTROL is only
available on Welger balers and is
far superior to complicated and much
slower reversing systems thus main-
taining maximum output at all times.

New chopping units – even more flexibility with XtraCut17!
