Round Baler Rolls – Increased Performance

The 9 Series Round Balers have increased their durability by increasing the shafts and bearings on the top and bottom rolls of the baler. The size of the shafts and bearing are listed below:

·        6, 7 and 8 Series – 1.125-in. shaft and 90-mm OD bearing (this bearing requires a quill assembly to fit in the roll)

·        9 Series – 1.5-in. shaft and 130-mm OD bearing (this bearing does not require a quill assembly to fit in the roll)

·        9 Series Premium – 1.75-in. shaft and 130-mm OD bearing

The #9 and #11 rolls receive the most wear and stress since they have the most surface area contact with the belts. The lower gate roll also carries the weight of the bale. By increasing the shaft size, strength is added to the baler. The larger bearings will run cooler, therefore, increasing the life of the bearings.

These rolls are the direct replacement for 6, 7, and 8 series balers. The rolls come with the roll, shaft and bearings as a complete assembly.
