OPTIONAL CROP-CUTTING SYSTEMS
For high-density bales that break apart easily for feeding, select from two optional Case IH pre-cutting systems. These systems cut the crop before it enters the precompression chamber.
 
Pack more crop into each bale, saving on handling and transportation costs. Case IH pre-cutting systems create:
  • Bales of greater weight and density
  • Superior feed quality
  • Reduced mixing time with TMR feed wagons
Case IH offers a slide-out knife drawer for easy access to add, remove and sharpen rotor cutter knives.
Rotor Cutter System
For maximum flexibility and bale density, add the optional Case IH rotor cutter to your LB3 Series baler. It uses a large rotor to feed crop from the pickup through a row of knives before entering precompression area.
 
Knives give the desired length of cut.
  • Put all knives in place; get the shortest cut – 1.53 in. (39 mm), LB333 only
    • LB333 rotor cutter – 23 knives
    • LB333 packer cutter – 6 knives, 4.5 in. (114.3 mm) minimum cut length
    • LB433 rotor cutter – 17 knives, 3.1 in. (78.7 mm) minimum cut length
  • Knives controlled hydraulically from the tractor seat
  • Easily inspect, sharpen or change rotor cutter knives with convenient slide-out knife drawer
  • Knives spring-loaded to protect from damage
Case IH LB333 models are available with an optional packer cutter system to adjust crop length from 4.5-10.5 in. (114.3-266.7mm)

  • Use between two and six knives to adjust crop length from 4.5 - 10.5 in. (114.3 -266.7 mm)
  • Push crop into the serrated knives via six heavy duty, double-packer tines
  • Move knives in and out of cutting position hydraulically from tractor cab, making switch between processed and unprocessed bales easy
