Maintenance
The BB9000 Series balers are built for the long haul, down to the durable, one-piece frame. Sturdier gearboxes and automatic oiling and greasing systems are key features that improve reliability and simplify maintenance.
STURDIER GEARBOXES
Gearboxes are used for all main drivelines on BB9000 balers, which results in increased reliability and lower maintenance requirements.
AXLE OPTIONS TO FIT THE TERRAIN
Both single and tandem axles are available on the BB9000 Series. The large-diameter tires mounted on single axle units provide greatest flotation, while the tandem axle reduces vertical baler movement, and provides the best ride. Tandem axles also come with Auto-Steer™, which allows the tires to follow the driving direction of the turn to eliminate field damage.
SLIM HITCH FOR TIGHT TURNS
The straight driveline arrangement of the drawbar and the narrower overall tongue construction on these balers results in a 5% improvement in turning radius on headlands.
AUTOMATIC OILING AND GREASING
Standard automatic oiling and centralized greasing systems keep all chains oiled and major grease points lubricated for increased reliability and reduced maintenance. Both systems are controlled from the monitor in the cab.
HANDY MAINTENANCE FEATURES
Plenty of other features have been added to make maintenance fast and easy, including:
- Large, sealed storage container for twine and tools
- Knotter access ladder
- Site gauge on density system hydraulic oil tank
- Site gauges on knotter and stuffer gearbox oil tanks
