New Holland BB9000 Large Square Balers: The Large Square Baler Leader Innovates Again!

- Four new models: BB9050, BB9060, BB9070 and BB9080

- Modern design with rounded lines,

- Integrated bale weighing system, unique on the market

- Bale-Eject™ partial bale ejection system

- Revised hitch design

- Evolution of the double knotter system

New Holland's current BB-A range of large square balers holds the market leadership position. The new BB9000 range builds on this expertise and features brand-new lines reflecting the style of New Holland's harvesting machinery.

The four new models produce bales with a width of 80 or 120 cm and a height of 70 or 90 cm, for a length of up to 260 cm.


Excellence in pick-up and feeding

The wide SuperSweep™ pick-up, fitted with closely spaced, curved tines, has been designed to meet the demands of the highest field outputs; the large windrows left by combine harvesters equipped with wide cutter bars can thus be picked up easily.

The BB9000 range is equipped with an optimized feeder mechanism, whose speed increases during its upward phase, as the crop is transferred from the pre-compression chamber to the compression chamber.

This improves filling in the upper part of the channel, allowing perfect distribution of the forage right into the corners while increasing the density of the crop slices for heavier, well-formed bales.

On CropCutter versions, the BB9000 range has a ?W?-type rotor that provides a consistent cutting action and reduces the power required. The sliding knife drawer is easily accessible for quick and efficient sharpening. This system is exclusive to New Holland.

Continuous bale weighing, exclusive to New Holland!

Developed for the BB9000 balers, New Holland's integrated bale weighing system is an exclusive.

This device is part of New Holland's yield monitoring system and enables contractors and farmers to manage their fields better.

Using an independent frame on the rear part of the chute, the system weighs the bale accurately without slowing the work rate. Comparative tests have demonstrated the accuracy of the system.

The individual weight or an average can be recorded, which provides numerous benefits for users.

Bale ejection

The standard Bale-Eject™ system empties the chamber of any remaining tied bale for a complete cleaning of the channel. The optional Partial Bale-Eject™ system ejects only the last bale produced, which may protrude from the rear of the chamber and prevent the chute from being raised. Separate teeth on each side of the channel are activated by separate hydraulic cylinders, allowing the bale being formed to remain in place. This allows the operator to resume work more quickly after changing fields.

New hitch

The new hitch design allows tighter turns on headlands and, combined with the optional self-steering tandem axle, gives the BB9000 excellent maneuverability.

Two axle choices are now available: tandem or tandem with self-steering axle. They are fitted with larger-diameter wheels and widths of up to 620/50R22.5, which limits soil compaction. A fixed single axle and a fixed tandem axle are also available on standard configurations.

Comfort and convenience

New Holland offers the BB9000 baler user a wide choice of control options. For tractors compatible with the ISOBUS system, the baler's complete information can be displayed and its controls synchronized via the tractor's monitor.

The IntelliView III™ color touchscreen monitor allows fingertip control and can be connected to a camera mounted on the baler.

The monitor provides access to a whole range of functions: bale density, number of slices, activation of the automatic lubrication system and bale counting.

Length can be controlled precisely from the cab, which guarantees correct measurement while spending less time on adjustments.

The moisture sensor (optional) uses the principle of the electrical conductivity of the forage between two star wheels, placed on each side of the channel for a very precise measurement. The user is thus informed in real time of the moisture of the forage being harvested.


Quality and reliability

Through their history, New Holland large square balers have earned a solid reputation for reliability. The BB9000 has a monocoque frame and robust gearboxes used on all main drives for smooth and efficient power transfer.

The oil-bath gearboxes and the automatic lubrication system help reduce daily maintenance.

The BB9000 large square baler is equipped with double knotters featuring a new shroud to keep the knotters clean, a larger-diameter knotter brake disc and reduced twine tension. It has also undergone changes to the billhook profile.

Its design allows higher bale density because the twine and knotter components are subjected to virtually no stress during bale formation. In tests, a BB9000 baler produced more than 14 000 bales, all perfectly tied, which underlines the proven reliability of the system.

Backed by New Holland's extraordinary baling heritage, the BB9000 range offers a professional baling solution to farmers and contractors.
