The New Holland BB9000 Series are large square balers designed for efficient and high-capacity baling operations, available in various configurations to suit different agricultural needs. The series includes the BB9060 (Standard, Packer Cutter, Rotor Cutter) and BB9080 (Standard, Rotor Cutter) models, each offering distinct features and capabilities.

Function Description

These balers are primarily used to compress and tie agricultural forage (like hay or straw) into large, dense square bales for storage and transport. They feature a "Super Sweep™ Pick-Up" system to gather material from the field, a "CropCutter™ System" for precise chopping (on cutter models), a "Feeding System" to move material into the bale chamber, a "Plunger" to compress the material, and a "Tying System" to secure the bale with twine. The "Bale Density System" allows for controlled bale density, and an "Electronic Control System" provides operational monitoring and control.

Usage Features

• Versatility: The range of models (Standard, Packer Cutter, Rotor Cutter) allows farmers to choose the baler best suited for their specific crop and desired bale characteristics (e.g., chopped vs. unchopped material).
• CropCutter™ System: Cutter models offer the ability to chop material, which can improve feed quality and ease of handling. Different knife configurations provide varying chop lengths.
• Hydraulic Controls: Hydraulic pick-up lift and knife activation (on cutter models) provide convenient and precise control from the tractor cab.
• Electronic Monitoring: The InfoView™ II monitor and optional IntelliView™ III touch screen monitor provide operators with critical information and control over baler functions, including bale density and knotter performance.
• Bale Density Control: The proportional 3-way control system allows operators to adjust bale density to optimize bale weight and stability for transport and storage.
• Tire Options: Single and tandem axle configurations with different tire sizes provide flexibility for various field conditions and transport requirements.
• Bale Accumulators (AC3104 & AC4104): These optional attachments streamline the baling process by automatically collecting and grouping bales, reducing the need for manual handling in the field and improving efficiency during bale retrieval.

Maintenance Features

• Main Drive Protection: The shearbolt, overrunning clutch, and slip clutch system are designed to protect critical drive components from damage due to blockages or overloads, reducing downtime and repair costs.
• Knotter Lubrication: Automatic greasing for the knotters ensures consistent lubrication, extending the life of these critical components and reducing manual maintenance effort.
• Knotter Function Alert: The monitor and visual alert system for knotter function helps operators quickly identify and address any tying issues, preventing untied bales and potential material loss.
• Knife Removal Systems (Cutter Models): The "from the front" and "sliding knife drawer" knife removal systems simplify the process of inspecting, cleaning, or replacing knives, making maintenance more efficient.
• Individual Knife Protection (Cutter Models): Individual spring protection for each knife helps prevent damage to the cutting system if a foreign object is encountered, reducing the need for extensive repairs.
• Feeder Protection: Slip clutch and cut-out clutch mechanisms protect the feeding system from damage due to blockages, ensuring continuous operation and minimizing repair time.
• Stuffer Protection: The shearbolt protection for the stuffer prevents damage to this component in case of an overload, contributing to the baler's overall reliability.
