Upgrades Focused on Performance Improvements, Dependability, Serviceability, and Precision

The Case IH RB566 round baler has been redesigned with a strong focus on serviceability, dependability, and efficiency, offering farmers a more advanced and reliable baling experience.  

According to Brian Williams, livestock product specialist with Case IH, the latest improvements make baling faster, easier, and more precise than ever before. 

A key enhancement lies in the roller system, now featuring a single one-piece design for both the fixed and stationary rollers.  

This upgrade significantly increases longevity and reduces maintenance needs, allowing producers to bale more without frequent adjustments. The improved design boosts reliability, ensuring consistent performance across demanding field conditions. 

The RB566 also features a built-in bale weight system, enabling operators to record bale weights on the move. The baler also features integrated telematics, allowing users to track bale locations, weight, and moisture content in real time.  

This data-driven feature enhances operational awareness and helps producers make better field management decisions. 

Another major advancement is the double roller system on the wind guard, designed to improve feeding efficiency, especially when working with heavier crops like corn stalks. 

The dual rollers help press material down, feeding it evenly into the chamber and reducing clogging, which ultimately saves time and improves productivity. 

Visually, the RB566 now sports a new red paint scheme, including a red frame, pickup, and tailgate, offering improved visibility of crop flow as it enters the machine.  

In addition, all RB566 models are now ISO-compatible, allow them to connect easily to ISO-class tractors through a simple plug-and-play setup.
