Case IH RB566 Premium Round Baler

The Case round baler family offers three distinct options to meet your specific baling needs. Choose the baler that suits you best from our Standard, Premium or Professional categories based on the amount of horsepower, bale sizes, annual bale count and bale weights you need to get the job done.

Case IH round balers’ feeder systems provide a clean sweep of crop and uninterrupted feeding of material into the baler, while simultaneously picking up wider, fuller windrows to maximize productivity in every pass.

• 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
• If equipped, the 5 bar pick up combined with a roller windguard provides a clean sweep of crop and uninterrupted feeding of material into the baler.
• No tool adjust gauge wheels help protect the pickup in rough fields. For curvy fields, the castering gauge wheel option prevents crop scuffing and damaging regrowth.Low-profile design lets the pickup float over ground contours, gently gathering crop and saving nutrient-packed leaves
• Double Roller Windguard option provides a higher level of compression and control of crop flow to improve pickup feeding capacity. Removable tines allow for easy adjustment to suit crop and conditions.

Net wrap system and twine delivery provide improved reliability with fewer adjustments. The 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. Plus, new wrapping systems offer options for twine, net and twine/net wrapping. Net wrap system features:

• 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 features:
• Enhanced single pivot, dual twine arm system
• Positive twine starts: the twine arm sweeps across the bale from left to right rather than starting in the center
• Twine tails reduced to left side only
• Twine end wrap position adjustable from monitor
• Consistent twine spacing across entire width of bale

Plastic twine from Case IH is made in the USA and continues to be the hay and forage industry’s standard for quality. Options available include: 

• PLASTIC BALING TWINE provides tight bales that are consistent in size. The twine is uniform diameter and strength to perform in harsh applications with guaranteed knot and tensile strengths.  
• BALEKEEPER PLASTIC TWINE is designed with the value-conscious farmer or operator in mind and is available in the most popular knot/tensile strengths and lengths. 
• SISAL TWINE is 100% biodegradable, mildew resistant twine that helps keep your fields healthy. Sisal twine features uniform thickness consistent tensile/knot strength.

By design, net-wrapped bales are smooth, weather-resistant, easier to move and store, and retain more leaves for more palatable, higher-quality hay. Case IH offers:     

• NATURE'S NET WRAP is manufactured in the USA from renewable resources and is fully compostable with a stronger tensile strength compared to conventional plastic net wrap. Soil micro-organisms and enzymes break down and consume the net wrap.    
• FASTNET™ BLACK NET FILM provides superior coverage because it keeps its shape and doesn’t get narrower as it’s stretched. FASTNET completely binds bales from end to end, helping to keep the bale densely wrapped and more weather-resistant for higher-quality hay while ensuring removal and hassle-free feeding.    
• KNITTED NET FILM is light, easy to use, and cost-effective with lengths up to 11,800 feet to enable longer runs between roll changes. This durable design resists punctures and tears for safe and reliable transport and is UV-stabilized to withstand extreme weathering conditions.    
• BALEKEEPER™ NET FILM is designed with the value-conscious farmer or operator in mind and shares many of the same performance characteristics of the net film from Case IH.

Belts can make or literally break your season. That's why Case IH has two options of belts to suit your needs and your budget - both designed with higher tensile strength for better tracking and long life. Choose from endless belts which have no splices or premium laced belts. And, with a three-year/15,000-bale warranty, you can bale worry-free knowing your bottom line is protected.  

Monitor all baler functions through your choice of two easy-to-use monitors that relay information from inside the bale chamber. Choose from the Deluxe Monitor with keypad with its compact design, user friendly icons and menu screen navigation or the Pro 700 display with color touch screen with ISOBUS options.  

This system controls the tractor stop, bale wrap and bale eject functions without any operator input required. Paired with a properly-equipped Vestrum^®, Puma^®, Optum^® or Maxxum^® series tractor, operators can take advantage of ISOBUS Class 3 controls to automatically stop the tractor when the target bale size is reached.

After that, net wrap is automatically applied and, when the wrap cycle is complete, the baler tailgate raises and lowers automatically to eject each wrapped bale. Once the completed bale is ejected, the operator can simply move the tractor shuttle lever to the forward position or push the forward button on the multi-control handle to resume baling.

With a steel front shield and plastic side shields, operators have full access to the side of the baler when panels are raised, with additional grease banks for ease of servicing. A 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. Configuration Options:

• Choice of 540 rpm or 1000 rpm gearbox on all models
• Hay, Silage, Rotor Feeder, Rotor Cutter Configurations on RB455/RB465 

To provide our customers with peace of mind during hay season, RB456A, RB5, and HD Pro round balers come with a two-year base warranty. In addition, a three-year pickup warranty has now been added for these round balers. This will extend the pickup warranty for an additional year after the base. From the hitch to the rear axle, we want our customers to know that we’ve got their backs.
