Part of the New Holland Repair Manuals.
New Holland repair manual 87585143 covers the BB930A, BB940A, BB950A and BB960A big square balers one system at a time. It takes you through the PTO drive line, flywheel, main drive gearbox, pick-up, precompression and stuffer. The plunger, density system, knotters, bale ejector, crop cutter, packer and rotor feeding are covered the same way. You also get electrical schematic frames, connector diagrams and the monitor error code index, with an updated set from serial number 4500.
The knotter checks give the pinion to cam gear clearance, and the PTO section gives the flywheel slip clutch torque and spring length.
Troubleshooting tables list the cause and correction for each fault, and hydraulic schematics cover the density system, the bale chute and the knife engagement.

New Holland BB930A, BB940A, BB950A, BB960A Common Problems This Manual Covers
Knots hanging on the billhook
Usually there is not enough bottom twine tension, so increase the bottom twine tension first. If the knots still hang, the twine holder spring tension is too low. Tighten the twine holder spring adjusting bolt. The Knotters and Twine Tying troubleshooting table covers both causes next to the knotter adjustments.
Manual Section: Knotters and Twine Tying p. 1146No pressure inside the bale density circuit
First check that the manual valve is closed. Next check the oil level in the tank and whether the filter is clogged. If all of that checks out, the pump may be faulty. On the monitor, look for active errors in the Service mode. The Bale Pressing and Density System section has the hydraulic schematic, valve and pump procedures.
Manual Section: Bale Pressing and Density System p. 1011Incorrect pick-up blockage or pick-up slip messages on the monitor
Start with the pick-up speed sensor B8 and check its adjustment. If the sensor cannot be adjusted, replace it. The Pick-Up section covers the speed sensor diagnostics. The Pick-Up, Rotor, Stuffer and Cutter Diagnostics section has the error code procedures from serial number 4500.
Manual Section: Electronic System and Monitor p. 220Bale ejector system failure
Check that the quick-fit couplers are correctly connected and put the tractor control valve lever in delivery. Tractor pressure must be over 150 bar 2175 psi. Clean the uni-directional flow reducer. If the relief valve is stuck or faulty, repair or replace it. The Bale Ejector and Needle Protection section has the hydraulic schematic and troubleshooting.
Manual Section: Bale Ejector and Needle Protection p. 1213Frequently Asked Questions
Does this manual cover my New Holland BB930A, BB940A, BB950A or BB960A big baler?
Yes, as long as your baler is one of the variants on the title page. Manual 87585143 lists BB930A P, R and S, BB940A P, R and S, BB950A R and S, and BB960A R and S. Updated electrical schematics and diagnostics start at serial number 4500. Check the serial number on the machine plate on the drawbar before you pick a wiring frame. p. 3
How much oil do the BB930A to BB960A main drive, stuffer and knotter gearboxes take?
The main drive gearbox takes 20 L 5.3 US gal. The stuffer drive gearbox takes 3.75 L 1.0 US gal and the knotter drive gearbox takes 2.75 L 0.7 US gal. All three run on API GL5, changed once a year. p. 25
What are the New Holland BB930A–BB960A plunger speed, stroke, bale size and density system pressure?
The plunger runs at 42 strokes/min with a 710 mm 27.952 in stroke. 4 knotter balers make a bale 800 mm (31.5 in) wide by 900 mm (35.43 in) high. 6 knotter balers make a bale 1200 mm (47.25 in) wide by 700 mm (27.5 in) high. The proportional density control valve works from 0 to 160 bar (0 - 2320 psi) and is fed by a 3.8 cc rev pump. p. 946
What are the New Holland BB930A–BB960A PTO speed and flywheel and feeder slip clutch settings?
PTO speed is 1000 RPM. The flywheel slip clutch is set at 1200 Nm (885 lbf.ft) on the 4 Knotter Standard and Packer. It is 1400 Nm (1032 lbf.ft) on the 4 Knotter Rotor Cutter and 1600 Nm (1180 lbf.ft) on the 6 Knotter Rotor Cutter. The packer or rotor feeder slip clutch is 2100 Nm (1549 lb ft) on Standard balers. It is 4000 Nm (2950 lb ft) on the 4 Knotter Packer Cutter and 6500 Nm (4795 lb ft) on Rotor Cutter balers. p. 625
What is inside this manual: wiring diagrams, hydraulic schematics, error codes, troubleshooting?
It has electrical schematic frames and connector diagrams for both serial number blocks. There are hydraulic schematics for the density system, the bale chute and ejector, and the knife engagement. The monitor error code index gives a procedure for each code. Troubleshooting tables cover the electronics, density system, knotters, ejector and stuffer. p. 58
