2012 Case IH RB454 Silage
Case IH RB 4 Series round balers consistently build dense round bales, even in varying crop and field conditions. Choose from five models, known for wide pickups, durable belts and rolls, and the ability to custom-build round bales.
Features
All
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.
More tines grab more hay
Tines vary from 72 on the RB444 to 144 on the RB554 and RB564
Low-profile design allows pickup to float over ground contours
Pickup’s forward location allows you to view windrows feeding and crop flowing evenly into bale chamber
Long, large diameter augers on wide pickups ensure smooth crop flow
Pickups protected from overload with slip or ratchet clutch
RB 4 Series round balers use combined action of low-profile, chevron-patterned belts and sturdy, all-steel rolls to form dense, uniform bales.
Endless, three-ply chevron belts eliminate lacing maintenance
Adjustable hydraulic belt tensioning system puts density control at your fingertips (N/A on RB444) 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 starts an edible core
Variable bale chamber allows you to customize bale diameter
RB 4 balers deliver precise packaging with a choice of twin tying and mesh wrapping:
Electronic-controlled twine wrap system ensures consistent twine placement; automatically starts the twine wrapping process; and has full-bale alarm to alert you to stop forward motion and in-cab monitor to alert you when tying cycle is complete
Optional electronic-controlled twine/mesh wrap system is available with the press of a button on RB454 Silage, RB454 Rotor Cutter Silage, RB464 and RB564
RB444 tying system features fast, electric, single-arm twine system that applies two strands of twine at once; adjustable twine guide; and full-bale light that alerts when it’s time to activate twine arm
Make bale size adjustments on-the-go
Tying and wrapping controls allow for adjustment of tying/wrapping patterns
Tailgate latch indicator alerts when to start baling after a bale is ejected
Electronic bale counter provides daily and total bale counts
Bale-shape indicator
Standard on all models, except the RB444
Uses visual bar graphs and audible signals to indicate which side of the bale needs more hay
Guides your driving pattern so chamber is evenly filled
