RB344 Series Fixed Chamber

At Case IH we like to keep farmers productive especially during harvesting. That’s why we have introduced a new fixed chamber round baler, capable of harvesting the crop with remarkable speed and efficiency.

Rolled and wrapped

Wrapped edge to edge to stay in great shape

RB balers will ensure that the bales are formed and wrapped right to the bale edges, so that they retain all their storage potential and nutritional value. The net applicator is wider than the bale chamber, which allows an extra wide net to be used, resulting in superb looking bales. This fast and simple system ensures uniform wrapping and bale shape, whether the crop is wet, wilted or dry. Regardless of whether you are using net or optional twine equipment for wrapping, cutting is fast and automatic leaving the bale ready for immediate ejection.

RB300FixedChamber-Productivity
  • RB300FixedChamber-Productivity-Rolled and Wrapped

    Efficient bale ejection
    The spring loaded bale ramp pushes the bale clear of the tailgate to ensure no outer surface damage, giving the bale a safe and easy landing..

    SILAGE-PACK – Two operations in one
    By combining the bale forming and wrapping process, baling time and silage quality are improved. No time is lost because wrapping and unloading take place while the next bale is forming. Prolonged crop exposure and loss of quality due to changes in weather conditions are eliminated.

    Electro-hydraulic control
    The automatic control system moves and wraps the bale with surprising speed and efficiency - with the combined operation taking only a few seconds more than the standard round baler. The superb tandem axle design gives a low center of gravity with exceptional stability during operation in all field conditions.

  • RB300FixedChamber-Productivity-Rolled and Wrapped

    Tight and economical
    High speed, twin satellite arms with adjustable speeds and a 60% pre-stretch capability, give fast and efficient wrapping. To avoid any film damage, the arms revolve at half speed at the start of the wrapping process. A steel conveyor chain rotates the bale on the wrapping table and four strategically positioned centering rollers protect the film and hold the bale precisely in position, even when working on steep slopes with up to a 15° incline.

    An optional quarter turn bale chute
    Is available for those customers wishing to handle and store bales on their ends. This system is favoured in some countries and also has the advantage that bales if placed on their ends will not so readily run away down hills.

    Swift, safe and sure
    A transfer fork cradles the bale as it moves to the wrapping table, with two guides preventing it sliding sideways. Twin rollers at the rear of the wrapping table pivot to form the unloading ramp.

Baling made quick and easy

Nothing lost or wasted

RB round balers offer high performance 2.0 meter wide pick-ups, that feature closely spaced steel tines to make sure the entire crop is collected from the windrow. The tines are spring mounted to retract and prevent any damage to the driveline.

Precision operation

The pick-up features a hydraulic lift that is coupled with the spring balanced flotation system and gauge wheels, to ensure that fields are left clean and tidy. The easily adjustable spring will prevent the pick-up tines from digging into the ground. The standard plate windguard can be fitted with the optional crop roller kit. This feature is especially useful in high volume crops, as the roller will prepare a more even crop layer resulting in increased overall baler capacity.

Smooth and constant feeding

RB balers are also fitted with rotary feeders to match capacity requirements and to ensure that the entire crop is delivered to the bale chamber floor in a smooth and continuous flow. A manual feeder reversing system is fitted to both models to quickly clear any blockages. Additionally a hydraulic feeder reversing kit is available that allows any blockages to be cleared without leaving the tractor seat.

RB300FixedChamber-Performance
  • RB300FixedChamber-Performance-Baling

    A clear view of the swath
    Operators have an excellent view of the pick-up across the entire width. This helps to maximise crop gathering and maintain bale shape.

    Less risk of soil damage
    B balers are fitted with large flotation tyres that will keep soil compaction to a minimum, especially during headland turns.

  • RB300FixedChamber-Performance-Baling

    Powerful rotor/cutter
    Designed as an integral part of the baling system, the 1.4 metre wide rotor/cutter features a quick change selection system allowing easy changing between 3, 7 or 15 knives. These electrically controlled knives produce high density nutritious bales for easy distribution. Blanking plates can be inserted in place of the knives should they be required. With the rotor cutter, up to a 20% increase in density can be achieved.

    Well formed and good looking
    For improved bale appearance and stability, operators can set the knives to retract at exactly the correct time to leave an uncut outer layer before wrapping.

Perfectly formed for storage and transport

Simple design for efficient operation: the RB uses a simple and energy efficient chain roller drive system to form the ideal bale, whatever the crop type or conditions.

RB300FixedChamber-Reilability
  • RB300FixedChamber-Reilability-Perfectly

    Firm and gentle rotation
    A heavy duty steel floor roller is mounted directly behind the pick-up and feeding unit. This roller supports the weight of the bale as it forms. Welded steel slats fitted across the entire width of the roller’s surface encourage bale rotation. This feature helps to produce a weather resistant bale of excellent shape.

    Strong and durable
    The bale chamber incorporates a fully enclosed roller chain and elevator system that uses 34 heavy duty steel bars to firmly grip the bale as it forms. As the bale grows in size and density, the rotation bars become embedded in the bale’s outer surface, giving a positive grip to turn the bale without slipping or jamming. This positive rotation at the early forming stage makes it easier to roll out each bale almost to its centre.

    Perfectly formed and structured
    The three layer bale formation process ensures superb bale quality and appearance plus a weatherproof exterior.

  • RB300FixedChamber-Reilability-Perfectly

    Always clean and in good shape
    The steel stripper roller is designed to prevent the risk of any crop build-up in the chamber which is particularly important when baling silage or cut crops that have a wet and sticky residue.

    Set right from the start
    To simplify maintenance procedures, factory set chain tensioners keep the baler working at optimum performance levels.

    Electronic density control
    To produce the ideal bale, density is controlled by two strong springs. After the core is formed and the bale starts to grow, two electronic monitoring devices - mounted between the tailgate and the baler frame - monitor pressure in the bale chamber. The required density level is pre-set on the performance monitor and when this preset level is reached the wrapping process will automatically start after giving the operator a warning signal. This simple and efficient control system allows the operator to make precise density adjustments to suit the crop conditions.

Compact, light and manoeuvrable

Simple design, reliable performance

The field proven design concept of the RB 344 is simple, effective, and incorporates many features to give farmers and contractors the help they need for a successful harvest. The wide pick-up, with closely spaced tines and long tine guards, ensures that the entire crop is collected with a smooth, positive flow to the feeder and bale chamber so that nothing gets missed. There’s no problem rolling a perfect bale whatever the crop type or conditions, and the wrapping system is unbeatable. Bales are precisely formed to your exact specifications and the density can be and adjusted and monitored from the comfort of the tractor seat.

RB300FixedChamber-AgronomicDesign
  • Quality in every bale
    With a superb density control system, RB balers will produce a highly nutritious bale of excellent shape and appearance, with a low density centre that will improve feed quality and make rolling out easier.

    • A wide choice of options
    • RB 344 (1.25 metre bale diameter) features electronically controlled wrapping, with wrapping systems to suit a wide range of harvesting operations.
    • RB 344 rotor/feeder – 2.0 metre pick-up, for the larger farmer and contractor harvesting mainly silage, requiring twine or net wrapping.
    • RB 344 SILAGE-PACK – rotor/cutter version with net wrapping and 2.0 metre pick-up, for the larger farmer and contractor requiring film wrapped bales with low labour input.
  • Multi-crop capability
    Whether they are feed, bedding or contract bales the new RB 344 round baler, will have them cut, rolled, bound, wrapped and ready to store faster than the competition.

Automatic bale management control

Performance at your fingertips

The unique bale performance monitor gives you full control from the moment you start to bale. The touchpad control system, with manual or automatic modes, enables you to perform all the baler’s major operating functions from the comfort of the tractor seat and provides twine or net available at the touch of a button. With all essential set-up and operating data at your fingertips, fine tuning adjustments can be made while you are on-the-move.

RB300FixedChamber-Technology
  • Quality bales from the start
    As the bale chamber fills, sensors record its size and condition. This allows the operator to drive down any size or shape of windrow and maintain the optimum bale shape and density.

    Automatic operation
    As soon as the desired bale size is reached, the bale is automatically wrapped ready for the operator to eject. It’s simple, fast and very efficient.

  • The ultimate in flexibility
    With the RB electronic system, operators can choose twine or net and change the rolls within a few minutes.

    Automatic twine wrapping control
    The bale performance monitor is pre-programmed with three settings that can be selected depending on crop type and conditions. A 4th programmable setting is available to suit individual operating preferences.

  • Precision wrap control
    By using the ‘wrap’ key a precise amount of netting can be applied to the bale between 1.5 and 6 rotations. This will ensure that the bale is perfectly presented and wrapped from edge to edge.

    Self-diagnostic system
    Designed to instantly alert the operator should any malfunction occur in the system during the baling process.
