You can use a lot of words to describe the new 9 Series Balers. Faster? A quicker gate cycle time of up to Ɵve seconds adds speed to your bale making.

Enhanced? Check out the higher-quality Diamond® chains that strengthen durability and reduce maintenance. Improved? Standard adjustable hitch lets

you match the baler to your speciƟc tire size and drawbar height for optimal

crop Ơow. Greater? Get used to less downtime thanks to the extended-lube

driveline, offering more than 20 hours of longer service interval.

And just think, these are only a few of the upgrades. We’ve also added four high-performance models: new, bigger 5-foot wide Silage Specials, and a 9 Series Premium lineup featuring a revamped styling, ISO-Bus monitor, and

much more.

So many words sum up the new 9 Series, but the word we went with is

‘stronger’ because with all the new internal advancements, we’ve literally

made these balers stronger to the core. Learn more about our new strengths at your John Deere dealer or visit us online.
