The John Deere bale weighing system provides bale weights throughout the baling process. With sensors mounted to the pre-compression chamber floor, it provides bale weights on a flake-by-flake basis. Knowing the flake weight helps the operator make more consistent bales. The current bale weight and previous bale weights can be displayed on the monitor.

The BalerAssist drivetrain system is an industry-exclusive offering that gives the operator the ability to hydraulically control the drivetrain. The system is able to operate in both the forward direction as well as the reverse direction and at two speeds each direction with a maximum speed of about 4 plunger strokes per minute.

The John Deere-designed double-tie knotting system is gear and driveline driven to ensure the needle-to-plunger timing is maintained throughout the life of the baler.

The needle lift crank and clutch rocker arm are made of hardened cast iron to improve strength and durability of the knotter clutch. The gearbox drives the system around 360 degrees to complete a tie.

John Deere large square balers (LSBs) are ISOBUS-compatible, enabling them to work with any ISOBUS monitor system.

Baler control can also be incorporated into the CommandCenter™ on R Series Tractors, as long as the tractor is ordered ISOBUS ready (GS-ready wiring harness option code 8064 or GS AutoTrac™-ready wiring harness option code 8067 on 6R Tractors).

Current GreenStar™ (GS) displays, including the touchscreen 2630 and 1800 as well as the GS 2600, are compatible for customers who already own a John Deere ISOBUS display.

The main display screen is user-selectable, allowing customisation so the customer sees what they want, where they want. With more information available from the moisture and weighing systems, the operator can select what they care most about.

The new menu controls which softkeys are shown on the main page, allowing users to navigate to what they need faster and more easily.

Balers to be utilised on non-ISO tractors will require a GS display and a conversion harness to connect the display to the baler.

One series LSBs offer a manual pressure control mode, allowing the operator to continue baling in the event of an electrical failure.

Information and adjustments available on the display:

Driving direction arrows are shown across the top of the screen, helping the operator create a more uniform bale.

Electronic knotter flags are standard on all John Deere balers. This feature offers operators convenience by enabling true look-ahead baling.

Feedback on the flywheel brake, precutter functions (if equipped), greasing, lighting, bale chute (if equipped), and bale drop (if equipped) systems.

Bale weights and bale moisture are displayed when their respective options are purchased.

Control of the drop floor on the precutter rotor option.

Electronic tie control from the cab.

Preservative applicator monitoring and adjustments.

Machine faults are shown in red on the screen, allowing the user to quickly detect any issues.

Bale count can be selected for the current field, customer, season, or lifetime.

The John Deere integrated moisture sensor for large square balers provides bale moisture levels throughout the baling process. Mounted forward in the bale chamber, it provides timely information for real-time decisions. This sensor was designed by John Deere specifically for the application and features an integrated display to reduce clutter in the cab. It operates in a complete range of moisture from dry to wet crops.

This sensor can be used in conjunction with the John Deere preservative system to adjust application rates.
