John Deere GreenSystem SB1179 Square Baler Price November 2026
SB1179 is the square baler identified on John Deere India’s combined baler-and-rake page. Its empty mass is 1790 kg, with a 179 cm outer-to-outer pickup width. The listed tractor requirement is 48 HP and above, PTO power 40 HP and above, and a dual clutch. Keep those power figures separate when comparing tractors.
Match bales to the handling chain
The published bale cross-section is 36 × 46 cm, with length adjustable from 30–135 cm. The 7–35 kg bale-weight range is not a guaranteed weight for every crop or setting. Agree the receiver’s acceptable bale size, then weigh representative bales before calculating transport cost. Compared with the compact round RB0311, this is a different bale format and machine layout, not merely a larger round chamber.
Specify baler and rake separately
The baler has 2 knotters and uses plastic/nylon twine. The RR0133 rotary rake shown on the same page is separate equipment; confirm whether a quote includes it. Ask the dealer to demonstrate knotting, approved drawbar fitment, shaft guarding and access for maintenance after shutdown. The webpage’s tine-count row contains inconsistent text, so no tine count is asserted here.
On 2 November 2026, Tractorkarvan’s baler list and Tractor Junction give the square baler on enquiry. Their numerical starting price belongs to a compact round model, so it is not used for SB1179. Request separate local prices for baler, rake, commissioning and delivery.
