Feeding System

A Uniform, Well-Shaped Bale

Huge 283-sq in. (1,826-sq cm.) feed opening allows SB balers to gather large, uneven windrows. A uniform, well-shaped bale is produced by the dependable Case IH feeding system.

  • High-throughput rotary feeding system delivers high capacity in any crop
  • Heavy-duty, double-rotating tines overlap to feed crop smoothly and continuously
  • Adjustable double-packer fork folds hay into the bale chamber
  • No-plug feeding system effortlessly moves crop from the pickup area to the bale chamber with minimum shatter loss
     

Density Control

Easy Bale Density Control

All SB Series balers allow for easy bale density control by adjusting the tension applied to the bale chamber. For manual density control, tension springs are an economical choice.

  • Provides "set-it-and-forget-it" convenience
  • Ensures consistent bale weight and density
