Fendt Rotana F Baler — Fixed Chamber Round Baling with Load Sensing and TIM Automation

01 August 2026, Germany: The Fendt Rotana F fixed chamber round baler range is built for operations that want dependable, no-nonsense forage baling — from a robust, knife-free entry-level machine with low power demand up to a fully automated professional-grade unit.

Model range: Rotana 130 F, 130 F Xtra and 130 F Combi, all sharing a 1.25 m baler chamber diameter. The 130 F Combi adds an integrated baling-wrapping combination for producing high-density silage in one pass, with quick dropping and wrapping built in.

Standout feature — Load Sensing Pro and TIM automation: The optional Load Sensing Pro package automates the tailgate, pickup hub and knife-slot cleaning, adds moisture sensors and an in-cycle bale scale, and optimises bale-edge layers for stability. Step up to TIM Pro and the Rotana takes over tractor control directly — automatically stopping the tractor the instant a bale finishes tying, lifting the pickup on reverse, and running the same automated bale-quality functions hands-free.

Key highlights:

  • 18 PowerGrip steel rollers for consistent bale formation
  • HydroFlexControl cutting floor and groups of up to 25 knives for precise, adjustable cut length
  • Cam track-free pickup for reduced wear and smoother crop flow
  • Mechanical tailgate locking with bale density measurement
  • Reinforced, steplessly adjustable drawbar and a shallow bale chamber tilt angle
  • LED work lighting installed under the side covers, illuminated when opened

For dairy and livestock farms that want consistent, dense fixed-chamber bales — with the option to automate the entire baling cycle through TIM — the Fendt Rotana F is engineered for undivided attention to forage quality.
