The Extreme 365 is a variable chamber and geometry round baler built by Feraboli at the top of the range of the manufacturer in Cremona. A communique released by the company affirmed that this  upper category model features all the practicality and simplicity of a variable chamber round baler, ergonomic control operated directly from the cab with the ICON CPU and variable bale pressure and geometry. The most innovative component of the Extreme 365 is a dual rocker device designed to counter hydraulic compressing. The main rocker determines the size of the chamber forming the core of the bale, for a maximum diameter of 130 cm, and the secondary one automatically compensates the tension of the chains. Thanks to variable geometry, bale pressing begins only when the pre-set diameter of the tender core has been reached. The operation is carried out by the main chain tensioner hydraulics which apply the pressure set by the operator for the succession layers of the bale for the density, weight and size required. For the Extreme 365, Feraboli is planning a version equipped with a rotor and a cutting system with 13 or 25 knives. These features, controlled from the tractor cab, will be available as optional equipment. Also worthy of mention for the Feraboli flagship round baler is the generous 2,200 mm pick-up structured with four cutting bars fitted with flexible teeth in highly resistant steel for harvesting such products as medicinal crops, ensuring a steady uniform flow and excellent hourly yields for work on more delicate products harvested. The Extreme 365 is compatible for binding or the use of plastic film wrap and turns out bales with diameters from the minimum of 50 cm to 165 cm.
