CKKUncwtor Farming, Saturday, October 23, 1993 RACINE, Wis. J I Case now offers a Case International 8463 Automatic round baler in its line of hay and forage products. With this “smart baler,” an operator need only steer the tractor, stop forward travel when the bale chamber has a full bale, and touch a button to get uniformly shaped bales 61. S inches wide that mea sure up to 73 inches in diameter and weigh up to 2,200 pounds. The 8465 Automatic does all the work and monitors its elec tronic circuits to give large-acre age hay producers and custom operators a higher level of baling productivity. “The 8465 Automat ic is our flagship round baler,” said David Hess, Case product manager-hay and forage. “It’s a more sophisticated .machine than its companion model, the Case In ternational 8465 Tractor Hydraul ic round baler, also offered in the Case IH equipment line.” In addition to the increased automation provided by the 8465 Automatic, its controls arc design ed to improve performance and re liability in a greater variety of crop conditions than other round bal ers. The core of those enhanced controls is a membrane touchpad and liquid crystal display that are easier to operate and more infor mative than indicator lights. All electronic and auto-sequencing components are housed in the sealed control box for greater re Dauphin County Sets Annual Meeting DAUPHIN (Dauphin Co.)

Bale cycling from drive de clutching, wrapping, tailgate operation and kicker ejection to re-engagement of the pickup and belt drives for the next bale is done by touching the “Auto Cy cle” keypad, Hess said. For con venience, each baling function has a manual override. When the operator touches the “test” button, the 8465 Automatic checks all of its electronic circuits, solenoids and sensors. At the touch of another button, it counts bales produced. With its slip clutch and hydraulic oil tempera ture sensors, this “smart baler” will strut itself down when clutch slippage or oil temperature is ex cessive. Also included on the LCD pan el are improved bale-sensing and sequential driving arrows for bel ter control of bale shape. The se quential driving arrows are a key improvement, according to Hess. “They show the operator where to steer to ensure uniform windrow pickup for optimum bale shape,” Hess said. The hydraulic system on the 8465 Automatic is self-contained, eliminating the need to connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor. An other feature, the twine joggle, en ables the operator to touch a but ton to apply additional twine wraps on the end of the bale. Special features will be enter tainment by local 4-H’ers, the awarding of the First Dauphin County 4-H Scholarship, and an auction to support 4-H and the scholarship program. Featured items in the auction are a hand made shawl by Sheepberry Farms and 751 h Anniversary 4-H Win ross Trucks. Modal FB/FJ/FP 3126 Haavy-duty submar albla pump for manura handling • Rugged center-type wet-end lor handling animal waste and other fibrous wastes Other performance features in clude a wide, four-bar, low-profile pickup with narrow-spaced tines for maximum crop retrieval and minimal leaf loss. A vertical, open-throat design feeds hay, straw, cornstalks, or other crop re sidue directly into the vertical bale chamber for immediate core infor mation. One option available for the 8465 Automatic round baler is a mesh-wrap attachment. Mesh wrap operation is built into the control box. Hess estimates that an 8465 Automatic with the mesh wrap option can decrease bale wrapping and ejection time as much as 75 percent compared to conventional twine systems. “It’s the ultimate in productivity,” he said. “It also reduces losses during baling and storage.” Other options include hydraulic pickup lift (requires one tractor re mote valve), windrow gathering wheels, and a short crop retainer for baling dry straw.
