5OPERATOR CONTROLSADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AT ITS MOST PRODUCTIVEThe unique Case IH electronic performance monitor keeps you in totalcontrol from the moment you start to bale, with all essential set-up andoperating data at your fingertips. Fine tuning adjustments can be madeon-the-move without leaving the tractor seat and the self-diagnostic alarmsystem will keep you fully informed should any problem occur. A printer isalso available so a job summary can be printed out instantly for straightforwardand immediate customer invoicing.Transport mode: PTO speed, hours worked, number of bales pluslubrication and additional operational information can be displayed on-screen.With this mode selected the flashing warning beacon works automatically.Work mode: Above 600rpm PTO speed the screen changesautomatically; the beacon is switched off and the knotter fans andlubrication system switched on.Warning signals: A series of automatic alarms monitor twine conditionand knife position. They also warn of any misties or shearbolt failures.For additional safety a sensor fitted to the end bale chute roller signalsthe last bale drop.Logging: The performance monitor has ten memory storage locationsallowing daily work records to be stored for later analysis. A printer isavailable, which enables Contractors to hand a work record to the customeras soon as the job has been completed.

Oversized PTO flywheel and heavy-duty gearboxdeliver maximum working efficiency.6Adjustable windguard for smoother crop flow.Quick and easy setting of the fully adjustable pick-upflotation system for superior field performance.

7PICK-UP AND TRANSFERNO FIELD TOO LARGE; NO SWATH TOO WIDEWhen there is no time to waste Case IH LBX balers go to work with a speedand efficiency that is hard to beat, operating at the cutting edge of technologyto form the perfect bale.A wide mouth with a gentle pick-up. It’s amazing how the LBXpick-up takes the hard work out of baling, always working at the optimumheight for crop collection with the minimum risk of crop damage. At headlandturns the large gauge wheels limit soil damage.To handle the changing field conditions the hydraulic pick-up lift features anadjustable flotation spring designed to stop the gauge wheels bouncing.The windguard can be adjusted manually when required to smooth outan uneven swath.Nothing lost or wasted. Depending on model, LBX big balersoffer robust pick-ups with widths between 1.98 and 2.4 metres that feature steelor rubber mounted spring tines, designed to make sure all the crop is collectedfrom the windrow and delivered to the pre-compression chamberin a smooth and continuous flow via two centring augers.This will ensure that the bales are uniformly filled so that silage bales retainall their nutritional qualities and straw bales retain their storage characteristics.Wide pick-up for efficient, clean crop collection.

Smooth and efficient rotor for maximum efficiency.8Knife drawer slides out giving instant accessfor replacement and sharpening.Bale segments are of a firm consistency for easydistribution.

9BALE FORMATIONTHE PERFECT BALE IN UNDER 60 SECONDSWhatever the crop- light hay, dry straw or wilted fodder with long,short or fragile stems, LBX big balers will form precisely the right balein perfect condition for bedding or feeding. And with four models inthe range offering a series of cutting options there will always be theright model available to suit your farming or contract operation.Rotor/cutter. A massive rotor, available in two widths, uses a seriesof alternating long and short tines that help prevent rotor blockage. Up to33 knives (depending on model) can be fitted for a short 39mm theoretical choplength, designed to create tight and compact segments for easy distribution tothe feeding stalls.A clean sweep means a tight bale. As soon as a segment isformed to the required density the stuffer fork pushes the material upward intothe bale chamber, this cycle is repeated until the correct bale length is achieved.During the forming process the bale chamber’s three-way density system keepsthe bale in shape. Each bale can take only 45 to 60 seconds to complete and istied using a double knotting system for maximum binding security.Better handling and storage. Case IH big balers deliver –seefor yourself. Neat and tidy fields and well stacked trailers and barns arethe result of superb quality high density bales that are very easy to handle.Easy to handle and fast to stack.A perfect bale every time.

Up to six knotters (LBX422 and 432)for compact and sturdy bales.10Adjustable double knotter system toensure maximum bale protection and quality.Powerful fans keep the knotting area freeof dust and straw.

11BINDINGRELIABILITY – THE REWARD FOR YEARS OF HARVESTING EXPERIENCEBale density can be easily adjusted from the tractor seat using the electronicperformance monitor, or manually using the control mounted on the left sideof the baler.To ensure a full day’s work in the field, the side cabinets are spaciousenough to hold 30 balls of twine and a toolbox.Safe and sure. As the crop enters the bale chamber twine is fed fromtwo separate balls to both the top and bottom of the bale. This system has beendesigned to keep twine tension minimal when working with heavy, resilientcrops. Each bale has two knots on each twine, the first, which ties the two twineballs together in readiness to form the bale, and the second, which completesthe bale once the desired length has been reached. Depending on the model,up to six heavy duty knotters are fitted, with sensors on the twine tension rollersto detect any break or mistie. Powerful debris fans keep the knotters clear ofdust and straw to ensure uninterrupted high performance.Staying in great shape. LBX models can be specified with flat platetype or roller type bale chutes that can be folded away for safe and easytransportation. The bale ejector functions by releasing the bale tensioningpressure, then operating the hydraulically controlled ejecting fingers, which pushout the bale, so there is no time or bales lost changing fields.Both types of bale chute fold awayautomatically for safe transportation.Huge side cabinets with a 30 ballcapacity and large storage boxes.

Tandem axle with Auto-Steer rear axle protectsthe sward on tight headland turns.12SAFETY AND SOIL PROTECTIONFor maximum soil protection and road safety Case IH big balers offer a wide choice of tyres pluseither single axle or tandem axle (available on LBX422 and LBX432), or even an auto-steered rearaxle feature to offer the best protection for grassland.Air brakes are available to offer improvedsafety on the road.Auto-Steer Tandem axle. This industry-leading design offers safe handling on the road pluspositive control in the field for increased sward protection, operating with a 6° turning angle that actsautomatically during baling. Heavy-duty leaf springs help to give a comfortable ride on rough fieldtracks or on the road and the steering locks automatically when reversing or during transportation.Lighting the way.
