Kuhn Group Sales Dip 9% in 2025 but Orders Signal Recovery
Kuhn Group recorded net sales of NZ$2.27 billion in 2025, finishing around 9% lower than in 2024.
Kuhn has released details of a factory fitted and EU-homologated drawbar for its FB 3100 and VB 3100 model balers, allowing farmers and contractors to use a round baler and wrapper in combination, or separately, depending on individual circumstances.
As an example, combining the baler with a RW 1810 self-loading wrapper, the configuration creates a fully automated combination machine suited for a one-man operation.
Switching between a single baler and a bale wrapper combination, even during the day, is fast and easy.
Working with KUHN round balers in combination with KUHN wrappers means taking advantage of the best baling and wrapping solutions available in the market.
VB 3100 series variable round balers produce well-formed, high-density bales in various crops, in various bale sizes.
FB 3100 series fixed round balers are the ideal choice when baling in the most challenging conditions and offer the KUHN TWIN-reel film binding option.
Both baler types form an ironclad duo with a RW 1810, featuring the unique INTELLIWRAP and 3D-Wrapping technologies for perfectly wrapped and preserved bales.
