90-120 cm

The exterior appearance of the new LB series reflects the completely new design. All key component areas have been revised or redeveloped. These changes include an extremely rugged central frame, as well as a new pickup and rotor system for efficient crop gathering and transfer to the bale chamber. Case IH development engineers have kept some of the proven components from the previous LB series; one of which is the extremely reliable double knotter system, which provides productive and reliable harvesting, from loose swath to compact bales.

Design with purpose

More style, more substance

The LB4 series large square baler isn’t just another pretty piece of equipment: it is designed from the ground up for long life and superior performance. The uniquely curved exterior allows it to shed crop debris quickly and easily. The baler width has been reduced by 2 feet to improve visibility to the sides and rear; take up less space on the road and in the shed. Composite side panels are lighter, rust proof and fade resistant. Underneath that curvy red exterior is an amazing workhorse that has more capacity than its forerunners.

Pick up

Capacity & Reliability

Pick up designed for capacity and reliability
The wide pick-ups and the new pick-up flares ensure crop isn’t left behind
The roller wind guard provides an even flow of crop material into the baler, and is easily adjustable without the use of any tools
The Feed assist roller directs crop material directly into the pre-chamber of the baler optimizing crop flow, and works in conjunction with the overshot stub augers to consistently move material from the sides of the pick-up into the pre-chamber.

- The pick up has been re-designed for increased durability and wear life
- Strengthened frame and pick up reel to handle tough conditions
- Coil mounted tines are shot peened to stand up to adverse conditions with out bending or breaking
- Overall the combination of the roller windguard, feed assist roller and overshot augers provide optimum feeding and result in high capacity feeding
- Used for high-density bales that break apart easily for feeding
  - Select from two optional Case IH precutting systems
- Crops are cut before it enters the precompression chamber
  - Packing more crop into each bale, saving on handling and transportation costs
- Case IH precutting systems create:
  - Bales of greater weight and density
  - Superior feed quality
  - Reduced mixing time
- TMR feed wagons Rotor Cutter System offers maximum flexibility and bale density
- Knives give the desired length of cut
  - Put all knives in place; get the shortest cut: 1.53 in. (39 mm)
  - Knives are controlled hydraulically from the tractor seat
  - Easily inspect, sharpen or change rotor cutter knives with a convenient slide-out knife drawer
  - Knives are spring loaded to protect them from damage

Bale chamber and knotter system

Pack it in and stack 'em high
