Abstract

In this paper, we focused on evaluating the quality of work of the IMPRESS 3160 V MASTER baler with a variable chamber from Pöttinger, designed for harvesting bulk forage. The research was carried out during the silage of red clover, with the main goal being to analyze the influence of different driving speeds and technical settings of the machine, such as the number of active cutting knives, on the quality of the resulting bales. The results point to specific combinations of technical parameters and speeds that lead to the optimization of harvesting and increase the quality of the forage. The findings can serve as a basis for more effective use of the machine in practice and for achieving higher productivity and nutritional value of the silage
