Features
Capacity and Durability
High Capacity Baling
Feeders
- The hay and silage models feature an overshot feeder
- The Overshot feeder provides smooth and consistent crop flow from the pick up into the bale chamber resulting in higher capacity
- The 5 bar pick up combined with a roller windguard provides a clean sweep of crop and uninterrupted feeding of material into the baler.
- Large pick up width allows you to pick up wider, fuller windrows to maximize your productivity in every pass
- Low-profile design lets the pickup float over ground contours, gently gathering crop and saving nutrient-packed leaves
Durable Performance
- The heavy-duty pickup features stronger, more durable components to increase the wear life of the pick up
- The "premium laced" and "endless" belt are designed with higher tensile strength for improved durability and better belt tracking
- Redesigned net wrap system has an independent up-cut knife system to create less stress on components which results in a more reliable wrapping system
- The cut out clutch comes with more torque than previous versions
Net and Twine Solutions
Net Wrap Electrical System and Twine Delivery System
Net Wrap Electrical System
- Enhanced H-bridge and ICM controller
- Separate motor for net knife and duckbill reducing current draw in system
- Front loading net wrap for efficient net loading and positive feeding on bale
- Fewer adjustments for simplicity and better performance
Twine Delivery System
- Enhanced single pivot, dual twine arm system
- Positive twine starts due to twine arm sweeping across the full face of bale from left to right and back rather than staring in center
- Twine tails reduced to left side only
- Twine end wrap position adjustable from monitor
- Consistent twine spacing across entire width of bale
Belt Options
Belts Built To Last
Endless Belts
- No splices to track better and maintain crosswise rigidity and lengthwise flexibilty
- Unique construction prevents belt failure from edge punctures or tears
- Sealed edges prevent fraying
- 3-year/15,000 bale warranty
Premium Laced Belts
- Provide durability and flexibility while delivering excellent value
- Premium laced belts use Mato fasteners with long-lasting cold-rolled loops
Display Options
In-Cab Control
Deluxe Monitor With Keypad

AFS Pro 700 Monitor (ISOBUS Options)
- Color touch screen
- Touch screen controls for easier navigation
- Connectivity with any ISOBUS compliant tractor
- ISOBUS can also be ordered without the monitor and will work with any display that is ISOBUS compatible
- May be installed in most tractors with use of additional power cable

Bale Control
Easy In-Cab Adjustment of Bale Quality
In-Cab Density Adjustment
All RB5 balers may be equipped with in-cab density. This allows the operator to be able to control density from the monitor, either Deluxe or Pro 700 (shown). With dual zone control, the inner (core) density may be set independently from the outer density. Increase the outer density when storing bales outside for improved weatherability.
On-Board Moisture Sensor
The Moisture Sensor option displays bale moisture on the monitor as the bale is formed and provide the final average moisture for the completed bale.- It is a fully-integrated system that works with the balers electronics and monitor, no need for a separate display
- Available with either Deluxe (shown) or Pro 700 monitor
- The moisture system is able to measure bale moisture from 7% to 60%, providing a wide range for both dry and wet crops, including hay, straw, silage, and corn stalks
- It is simple to use. If desired, the operator can set a high and low moisture level warning, otherwise no adjustment needed
- Offered as both a factory installed option or a dealer-installed kit for balers made after February 2019
Configurations
Style with a Purpose
- Plastic side shieldswith full access to side of baler when panels are raised and additional grease banks for ease of servicing
- Steel front shield
- Cut-out clutch is standard on all RB565 models
- Better, long-term durability than friction plate clutch
- Can achieve higher bale density
Configuration Options:
- Choice of 540 rpm or 1000 rpm gearbox on all models
- Hay, Silage, Rotor Feeder, Rotor Cutter Configurations on RB455/RB465
- Premium/Premium HD on RB565
Feeder Options
Feeder Options to Fit Your Operations
Overshot
Available in Hay and Silage models, the rotating feed rotor provides smooth, uninterrupted crop flow.As the crop comes off the pickup, the tines of the large diameter rotor engage the crop and keep it moving over the top of the feeder (overshot) and into the chamber.
The “W” pattern of the tines and large 14” diameter provide high capacity baling in a diverse range of crops and conditions.
Undershot Feeder
A large diameter rotor, paired with a hydraulically operated drop floor, combine to give you high capacity in even the most difficult crops. The undershot rotor is designed for aggressive feeding. If a rotor plug does occur, the drop floor allows you to easily and quickly clear the plug from the comfort of the cab.
The chopping system available in RB455 and RB465 rotor-cutter models processes the crop to build extra bale density.The 15-blade chopping system works to reduce feed particle length to maximize feed quality.Rotor-cutter balers are the ideal balers for baleage operations and baling high moisture crops.
Reduce Waste to Improve Profitability
University studies have shown that feeding bales that have been processed significantly reduces waste. By packing smaller pieces of forage, the baler can create incredibly dense bales containing less oxygen which is very beneficial to the fermentation process. The smaller forage length reduces the amount of feed that drops from the animal’s mouth while eating.Feed that is dropped typically gets stepped on and goes uneaten.
