Case IH has added a new RB565 Premium HD round baler to the RB5 round baler series that it says handles a full range of crops, including wet silage, dry hay, straw, and stalks. Brian Spencer, Case IH hay and forage marketing manager, says more producers today are baling wet hay due to shorter production windows and the added feed value it provides. “To accommodate those customers wanting to produce baleage in a 5x6 bale, we added the proven, robust design of our 4-foot silage baler to our 5-foot baler with some additional features,” he says.

The Additional Features

Besides the RB565 Premium HD, Case IH’s RB5 series includes the RB444, RB455, RB455A, RB465 Premium, and RB565 Premium models. The RB565 Premium HD builds on the larger platform and improved bale-ejection system of those models with various enhancements to achieve a higher bale density, Case IH says.

Enhancements include a higher torque load on the cutout clutch, a larger main gearbox with heavier output shaft, a larger main drive chain and sprocket, larger roll drive chains, dual-chopping rolls in the tailgate and sledge areas that prevent crop buildup, a neoprene-covered back-wrap roll, a factory-installed moisture sensor option, and endless belts that come with a three-year/15,000-bale warranty.

Automated Performance

Owners can equip the RB565 Premium HD with ISOBUS Class 3 Tractor and Baler Automation abilities. When using the baler with a Case IH Puma or Maxxum tractor equipped with a CVXDrive continuously variable transmission or PowerDrive powershift or ActiveDrive 8 dual-clutch transmission, the system controls bale-wrap, bale-eject, and tractor-stop functions sans operator input. “When hay-making windows open, baler automation can help reduce bale-cycle time, minimize operator stress, and increase productivity, even with a less-experienced operator,” Spencer says.
