LB 2233 Typical Applications

The LB 2233 is a versatile large square baler suited to a wide range of farming and contracting operations where manageable bale size and all-crop capability are valued, including:

  • Mixed farming operations baling hay, straw, and silage
  • Livestock producers making haylage and wrapped silage on-farm
  • Contractors requiring a versatile machine for varied customer needs
  • Arable farms baling straw for bedding or sale

The LB 2233's 3×3 format (900 × 800 mm) produces bales that are straightforward to handle with standard equipment while still offering excellent density and capacity.

Its ability to work effectively across all major crop types - from dry straw through to high-moisture silage - makes it a practical choice for operations with diverse baling requirements throughout the season.

The ProCut cutter option with 17 knives provides precise chop lengths of 43.5mm or 87mm, improving feed quality for silage and haylage while also producing denser, more stable bales for transport and storage.

With its moderate power requirement of 150 Hp, the LB 2233 pairs well with mid-range tractors commonly found on mixed farms, delivering professional results without demanding top-spec machinery.

LB 2233 FAQ

The LB 2233 requires 150 hp for standard packer operation, or 190 hp when fitted with the ProCut cutter. Tractors in the 150-200 hp range work well with this baler.

The 3×3 refers to the approximate bale dimensions in feet - 3 feet wide by 3 feet tall (900 × 800 mm). This format offers a good balance between bale capacity and ease of flake manual handling.

 

The LB 2234 produces wider 1200 × 900 mm (4×3) bales and uses 6 knotters compared to the 2233's 4 knotters. The 2234 requires more power (170 hp vs 150 hp) and is heavier, but offers greater capacity per bale.

The LB 2233 is handles most crop well like hay, straw, haylage, silage, and miscanthus. 

The ProCut rotor cutter option provides 17 knives arranged in two banks. Knife banks are engaged hydraulically from the cab via the BaleCreate interface, and a slide-out magazine provides easy access for maintenance.

TIM (Tractor Implement Management) enables the baler to communicate with compatible tractors to automatically control forward speed. This helps maintain consistent crop flow and optimal baling conditions without constant driver input.
