Plenty of Sturdy Tines and an Adjustable Pickup Gauge Wheel

Provides For A Uniform, Well-Shaped Bale
Huge 283-sq in (1,826-sq cm) feed opening allows SB balers to swallow large, uneven windrows. From here, the dependable Case IH feeding system takes over, providing a smooth flow of crop into the bale chamber for a uniform, well-shaped bale.

SB521 Feeding System

  • Six feeder tines gently move the crop into the bale chamber, saving high-protein leaves
  • Chain-driven system for durability and easy servicing


Easy Bale Density Control
All SB Series balers allow for easy bale density control by adjusting the tension applied to the bale chamber. For manual density control, tension springs are an economical choice.

  •  
  • Ensures consistent bale weight and density
