Case IH Large Square Balers LB434XL
Higher capacity, greater bale density, and greater efficiency than ever before with steering sensors, lighting packages, heavy-duty pickup reels and additional twine storage.
The LB434XL square baler is designed from the ground up for large-scale hay and forage operations.
Design with a Purpose
The LB4 series large square baler isn’t just another pretty piece of equipment: It is designed from the ground up for long life and superior performance. On the outside, the unique curved shape allows it to shed crop debris. The baler width has been reduced by 2 feet to improve visibility to the rear and sides of the baler and takes up less space on the road and in the shed. Composite side panels are lighter, rust proof and fade resistant. And underneath that curvy red exterior is an amazing workhorse that has more capacity than its forerunners.
Maximum productivity from day one
Standard feeder large baler series balers now benefit from an upgraded chain and tensioner for enhanced durability, while a new packer slip clutch incorporating an additional friction plate made from thicker material provides improved load transfer and heat dissipation for maximum reliability. There’s also a new stronger packer driveshaft, with 33% larger diameter. From front to rear, every aspect of the large baler series balers was examined by Case IH engineers to analyse areas where there was scope for improvement. Every major component came under scrutiny, from the pick-up, rotor and pre-chamber through to the packer and knotters. But it wasn’t just those primary components that were revised and re-engineered. Improvements on new large baler balers include innovations in headland management and density control, and even developments in simpler but still essential areas, such as tractor couplings and lighting.
Smoother on the road, easier on the land
Case IH large square balers feature tandem axles and flotation tyres for minimum impact on the field and maximum comfort on the road.
More consistent bales per hour
On LB434 XL models, the bale chamber is now 31% longer, having been extended by 80cm. In conjunction with optional automatic feed rate control, that means you get not just better bale shape and greater bale density, but also more consistent density across the day as conditions change.
More pick-up performance
Stronger pick-up assist auger flights are made from 25% thicker steel, up from 4mm to 5mm, resulting in longer service life, particularly in stalky crop conditions. There’s also a hardened pick-up drive shaft and a new safety clutch, for reduced stress and increased reliability. A new bearing locks the pick-up onto the packer shaft, eliminating axial play, to improve component lifetime.
The finest feed
Every feature on the Case IH large balers is designed to ensure you get crop off the field and into the stack as quickly as possible. With pick-up widths of 2m and 2.2m, depending on model, all are equipped with a roller windguard and large gauge wheels with adjustable flotation springs to handle the widest and heaviest swaths.
Advantages:
- 2m or 2.2m wide pick up
- Large gauge wheels with spring flotation
- Centring augers with stronger flights
- Hardened pick-up drive shaft
