Case IH Baler Automation
Baler Automation from Case IH integrates tractor and baler functions to adjust speed, manage bale formation and handle key baling steps automatically for both round and large square balers as field conditions change.
Features:
• Automatically adjusts tractor speed to match windrow volume and maintain consistent throughput
• Coordinates bale wrapping and tailgate ejection on compatible tractors during round baling
• Uses LiDAR sensor technology to monitor windrows and support hands-free steering capability
• Aims to maintain consistent bale length, weight and flake count in large square baling
• Designed to reduce repetitive operator input while optimizing cycle timing and fuel use
