SB CONVENTIONAL BALERS

Pickup System:

All SB Series balers allow for easy bale density control by adjusting tension applied to the bale chamber.

Knotters:

Case IH SB Balers bales hold up well to handling – from the windrow to the shed. They have dependable gear-driven twine knotters with hard-surface material at all wear points and bill hooks that are chrome plated for extra durability and reduced maintenance. The large capacity twine storage increases field time between refills.

The SB range consists of SB531, SB541 and SB551, with the main differences being size of the bale and width of the pickup and overall machine.

RB ROUND BALERS

Case IH RB 4 Series round balers consistently build dense round bales, even in varying crop and field conditions. RB Balers are recognised for their wide pickups, durable endless belts and rolls, and the ability to custom-build round bales.

Pickup System:

The RB 4 Series round baler pickups are substantially wider than the bale chamber. This allows them to pick up the widest windrows and pack more crop into the sides of the chamber for firm bales. With 128 tines on the RB454 and RB464, the tines grab more hay and with the low profile design, it allows the pickup to float over the ground contours.

The pickup's forward location allows you to view windrows feeding and crop flowing evenly into the bale chamber. The long, large diameter augers on wide pickups ensure smooth crop flow and the pickup is protected from overload with slip or ratchet clutch.

Both the Rotor Feeder and the Rotor Cutter feature hydraulic rotor reversing from the tractor seat.

Bale Formation:

RB 4 Series round balers use the combined action of low-profile, chevron-patterned belts and sturdy, all-steel rolls to form dense, uniform bales. The endless, three-ply chevron belts eliminate lacing maintenance and the adjustable hydraulic belt tensioning system puts density control at your fingertips (not available on RB454) and front pressure gauge allows density monitoring.

The floor roll starts the bale formation process by moving the crop from the pickup to the belts and into the core cavity. The powered floor roll carries a large portion of bale weight inside the chamber, reducing belt stress.

The forming rolls help curl the crop and quickly start an edible core and the variable bale chamber allows you to customize bale diameter.

Tying/Wrapping:

RB 4 balers deliver precise packaging with a choice of net wrapping or optional twine tying. The electronically-controlled net wrap system automatically starts the net wrapping process and has a full-bale alarm to alert you to stop forward motion plus in-cab monitor to alert you when wrapping cycle is complete.

There is sufficient storage to carry two full spare rolls of net wrap in addition to the actively loaded wrap, ensuring you can operate long days. The optional tying system also starts automatically.

LB LARGE BALERS

The Case IH LB 3 Series large square balers have set the standard for precisely shaped bales. New models LB333 and LB433 fill bales more densely, provide improved knotter reliability and offer best-in-class:

• Knotters that eliminate stoppages for increased daily output
• Slacker and twine finger springs for greater reliability
• Adjustable pickup wheels for convenience and a cleaner field
  
  

Best-In-Class Knotter:

This feature reduces stops and increased daily output. The improved knotter fan airflow means better cleaning of chaff and dust. The fans are controlled from the tractor cab using the electronic baler-control system. The baler holds 30 twine balls for extended time between reloads. The bill hook profile provides longer twine ends for tighter, stronger knots.

Rotor Cutter System:

For maximum flexibility and bale density you can add the option of a Case IH Rotor Cutter to your LB 3 Series baler (at the time of order). Rotor Cutter models use a large rotor to feed crop from the pickup through a row of knives before entering the pre compression area.

The knives give the desired length of cut. With all knives in place you get the shortest cut – 1.53 in. (39 mm) (model LB333 only), using 23 knives. The LB333 packer cutter has six knives, 4.5 inches apart with a 114.3 mm minimum cut length.

The LB433 rotor cutter has 17 knives, 3.1 inches apart with a 78.7 mm minimum cut length. The knives are controlled hydraulically from the tractor seat.
