BALERS BUILT FOR BUSINESS
Pro-Belt™ Series round balers deliver maximum dependability and performance to enhance the productivity of professional haymakers and contractors. Regardless of crop, the Pro-Belt 450 and 460 build high-density, square-shouldered bales time and time again. Build your business by making top-quality bales with a round baler that’s built for business.
Features
- All Power, No Hassle: To push through crop and avoid plugs, the premium oil-filled cut-out clutch can maintain over 1,000-foot-pounds of force. When it’s needed, power is immediately cut out to protect the drive. Unlike a friction slip clutch that can heat up and lose torque, this clutch remains cool during operation while delivering constant torque. To resume, simply idle the tractor down and the clutch will re-engage.
- Tough Twindrive™ Gearbox: For smooth operation and greater reliability, the TwinDrive gearbox directs PTO power to both sides of the baler without transferring it through the driven rollers. The left side powers the main belt, fixed roll drive chain, and floor roll drive chain, while the right side delivers power to the starter roll drive chain and rotary feeding system drive chain.
- Heavy-Duty Drives: Pro-Belt balers feature big, heavy-duty bearings, sprockets, and drive rolls to provide maximum durability. Using only four, heavy-duty Diamond-brand driving chains, power is delivered more efficiently while enhancing durability. The right side of the baler has #100 chain powering the starter roll drive and #100H chain driving the undershot rotor. On the left side, #100H chain drives the main belt and fixed roll, while #80 chain is found on the floor roll.
- Roll Without The Bunches: Big windrows are no match for the heavy, all-steel windguard. This adjustable windguard uses its weight and crop-driven rotation to effortlessly compress crop, which means less bunching and smooth, even crop flow over the entire pickup.
- Augers That Deliver Maximum Throughput: Delivering maximum throughput means that crop needs to move quickly from the ends of the pickup. The pickup is outfitted with eight-inch overshot, in-feed stub augers that turn over three-and-a-half times faster than the pickup reel. Unlike integral or in-line designs, these augers are positioned to deliver crop ahead of the feeding system to help ensure uninterrupted crop flow. Augers are finished with a hardened wear strip to increase wear resistance and reduce scraper adjustments.
- Linked To More Benefits: To maximize performance and uptime, the pickup is driven by number 80H Diamond chain. Its exceptional resistance to wear and stretch is delivered by hard chrome pins and extra thick heavy-duty side plates. Further adding to the pickup and drive reliability, protection is provided by a maintenance-free radial pin clutch. A maintenance-free radial pin clutch further increases pickup and drive reliability.
- From Field Mode To Road In A Flash: The standard hydraulic pickup lift and dual no-tools gauge wheels let you go from field mode to the road and back in a flash. Convenient, no-tools gauge wheels are standard, but no-tools castering gauge wheels can also be equipped to assist with tight turning on headlands and eliminate scuffing.
- Superfeed™ Rotary Feeding System: If you need the power to feed difficult crops, but don’t need the ability to cut, or want bales packed with long, unbroken crop, then the SuperFeed rotary feeding system is the perfect choice for you. This system has single-point feeder tines, but no knives in the floor. To resist wear, the lobes are made from heat-treated steel. Compared to conventional overshot feeding systems that kick crop into the chamber, this rotor pulls crop underneath it, then power-feeds it directly into the chamber. This positive feeding shines in bulky crops like straw and cornstalks, yet still handles dry hay and silage crops with ease.
- Cropcutter® Rotary Feeding And Cutting System: If you’re looking for the ultimate way of making dense bales, bales that easily break apart during bedding or in a Total Mixed Ration (TMR) to reduce ration mixing times and improve feed efficiency, or a mix of all the above, then look no further than the CropCutter rotary feeding and cutting system.Two CropCutter versions are available: a single knife bank with 13 knives that cuts crop as short as three inches, or a twin-knife bank, 25-knife version that can cut crop just under 1.7 inches. The 25-knife configuration reduces knife sharpening downtime in abrasive crops because it provides the flexibility to extend fresh, sharp knives on one bank and retract dull ones on the other. Rotors are made of tough, abrasion-resistant AR steel to resist wear. To deliver a consistent cut, knives can be hydraulically extended or retracted. When extended, an accumulator ensures that knives stay engaged and protected. The 25-knife version has independent knife bank protection to provide exceptional cut quality. When cutting is not required, or a longer cut length is desired, knife blanks are also included. For longer materials, simply remove individual knives and install the conveniently stowed blanks in their place. To ensure maximum capacity, knife pressure is actively monitored and displayed. If working pressure gets too extreme, you’ll be alerted on the display.
- Automatic Activedrop™ Floor System: Commercial productivity means you push your equipment harder and faster to get jobs done, and Pro-Belt™ balers make no exception with the standard automatic ActiveDrop™ floor system. When you’re pushing hard, the forward dampers provide up to .39 inches (10 millimeters) of flex. However, if the load becomes too significant on the rotor, the system will automatically drop the floor to clear potential plugs, giving you continuous baling without the need to stop. The floor’s position is actively monitored, and you’ll be alerted to slow your ground speed when difficult conditions persist.
- Big Belts For Big Performance: Four extra-wide, 11-inch premium endless belts deliver ultimate performance, durability, and low maintenance. These belts feature three-ply construction, sealed edges to resist fraying, and a high degree of crosswise stiffness to resist flipping. Textured on both sides, the belts can run on either surface. For your peace of mind, they’re backed by a three-year, 15,000 bale warranty.
- Dual Driven Belt Rolls: Belts are driven with two belt rolls for double the driving power and performance, while the large diameter drive rolls provide more belt and roll contact area for positive driving in any condition. Individually-driven sprockets are 44% larger than their equivalent Roll-Belt™ counterpart, transmitting more torque with less chain tension. For extra reliability, #100H Diamond®-brand chain is used to power the main drive because of its exceptional resistance to both wear and stretching.
- Clean Belts Yield Performance: Reliable performance in difficult conditions means keeping the area behind the belts clean. That’s why both the follower roll and the tailgate nose roll are paired with spiral stripper rolls that extend beyond the width of the chamber to expel crop buildup, reduce belt stress, and improve efficiency.
- Raising Your Standards With Fast Tailgate Cycle Times: Fast tailgate cycle times keep you productive. For extra strength and durability, solid pivot blocks are incorporated into the tailgate’s construction. The tailgate cylinder is cushioned – it opens at full speed, then slows down when it’s close to full extension to eliminate sudden hard shocks.
- Easy Front-Load System: A front-load net wrap system makes it easy to load an active roll of net wrap and gives you peace of mind knowing that each bale has been properly wrapped before ejection. The net tube is designed to pivot down and forward so that the roll is at a convenient, easy height for loading. A net stuffer tool is found below the system along with a helpful illustration that shows how to load the roll.
- Wrapping Cycle: 1 – The wrapping cycle automatically begins when the bale reaches full size and the duckbill pivots into the chamber, placing the net on the bale surface. 2 – Once the net wrap has been picked up by the bale, the duckbill rotates back to the home position as the net is dispensed into the chamber. 3 – After the net has been applied, the net knife cuts upward, leaving a clean-cut end.
- All-Day Capacity: Pro-Belt™ balers offer the net wrap carrying capacity you need for the biggest fields and the longest days. In addition to the active roll, an additional spare roll can be stored on the front and a third spare can be stored along the side.
- Professional Baling Requires Perfect Bales: If you run the latest high-tech tractors, uncluttering the cab and facilitating ease of use are made possible with premium electronics that work with your tractor’s virtual terminal display and ISOBUS connection. For classic iron, the optional 10.4-inch IntelliView™ IV color touchscreen display and harness offer the same updated interface and controls. Perfectly sized bales are the product of bale fill shape sensors positioned on the tailgate that independently sense belt tension. A highly accurate view of bale fill is provided on the display as right and left fill bar graphs. To simplify connections, electrohydraulic controls are selected through the display and activated using the tractor’s remote valve. Information, such as bale counts, average bale moisture, and cut and uncut bales can be saved for up to 60 fields and multiple customers.
- Factory-Equipped Moisture Sensor: Access to real-time information is beneficial when baling and that’s why Pro-Belt round balers can be equipped with a factory-installed moisture-sensing system. This system uses two discs positioned on either side of the chamber to detect real-time bale moisture every ten milliseconds. The average reading is displayed on the monitor every second, with readings from 7% to 60%. You can easily set upper and lower moisture limits to determine if you should choose to move to another windrow, continue baling and set damp bales aside, or wait for conditions to improve to preserve your desired quality.
- Standard In-Cab Density And Core Control System: Whether you need rock-hard bales that hold up to handling and shed rain, or bales with a softer core so that livestock can easily tear them apart in a feed ring, you get complete control with the in-cab density and core control system. This system lets you choose the bale core diameter and density, as well as the density of the bale’s outer shell. Up to a 53-inch-diameter soft core can be made and the maximum pressure is 2320 PSI (160 bars).
- Reduce Fatigue With Intellibale™ Baler Automation: Automate your round-baling functions to help reduce your fatigue and produce more uniform bales during long days of baling. ISOBUS-equipped balers partnered with tractors that have ISOBUS Class 3 capability communicate with one another through IntelliBale software to perform specific functions. First, activate IntelliBale on the monitor and bale like normal. Once the target bale size is reached, IntelliBale will automatically stop the tractor, wrap the bale, and then open and close the tailgate. To resume baling, shuttle forward with the tractor’s column-mounted shuttle lever or CommandGrip™ multifunction handle.
- Wide-Open Servicing: To promote easy servicing, lightweight gull-wing style side doors and the one-piece front shield open vertically to provide full access to the baler. Underneath, the yellow-painted chassis easily contrasts with components like sprockets and hoses to provide you with greater visibility from an operational, service, and safety perspective.
- See And Be Seen: Optional under-shield LED service lights are located under the side shields to make working at night both safer and easier. An LED transport rotary beacon can also be added to help you stay safe when traveling from field to field.
- A Heavyweight Of Flotation: To help protect crop stubble, promote regrowth, and limit compaction, large, 500/55-20 bias flotation tires are standard. For an ultrawide footprint, 620/40-22.5 flotation tires are available.
- Savings At The Bank: To help make routine maintenance fast and easy, Pro-Belt balers come standard with banked, centralized grease zerks for ground-level service of hard-to-reach components.
- Optional Automatic Lubrication System: To further minimize your daily service time, a premium Lincoln®-brand automatic lubrication system is optional. The pump is conveniently controlled through the display and delivers grease to all the critical components listed above except for the Active Drop floor cylinder, which is still conveniently greased from the grease bank.
