Part of the Case IH Repair Manuals.
You have a baler parked in the shed, the tractor unhooked, and hay drying in the windrow. The next hour is a bent tailgate latch, a net wrapper that won't cut, or a code on the monitor you have never seen before. This is the Case IH service manual for the RB455, RB465 and RB565 round balers: 1st edition, July 2014, CNH part number 84546102.
It covers the PTO shaft and slip clutches, the density, tailgate, pickup, cutter, drop floor and bale eject hydraulic circuits, pickup and rotor, belts and rolls, net and twine wrap, and the electronics. You are out there alone with the machine and nobody to call.
The chapters run in order with page ranges, and faults are listed by number in the fault code index. That gets you from the code on the screen to the right page fast, so you can get back to baling before the weather turns.
