Vicon FixBale 500 fixed-chamber round baler: Fixing up the bales

For the 2020 season Vicon is introducing its new fixed-chamber baler, the FixBale 500, which will be produced at the Ravenna plant in Italy. Described as a completely new machine, it still holds on to some familiar Vicon features, as we found when we caught up with a pre-production unit

Happy with the performance of the non-stop FastBale combi, Vicon has gone back to the drawing board for its standalone fixed-chamber offering and come up with the FixBale 500. So let’s get stuck into the hardware.
