Why 64″ or 67″ is the right size for the RB565
The RB565 is Case IH's 5-foot RB-series baler (2013-present), the modern successor to the RBX 561/562 family. It shares its chamber geometry with the New Holland Roll-Belt 560 (CNH Industrial sibling).
Net wrap width is determined by the chamber width of the baler, not the bale diameter. A 5-ft rb-series baler like the Case IH RB565 has a chamber that accepts 64″ or 67″ wrap. Going narrower will leave bare patches at the bale edges (water ingress, hay loss); going wider than the chamber's tolerance jams the wrap roller or causes wrinkling.
On RB-series balers from this era, Case IH's own service documentation requires the Duckbill Baffle Kit to handle standard 64-inch/67-inch net wrap reliably. Confirm your machine has the kit installed before ordering.
How many wraps per bale on a
XES guidance based on crop and storage:
- Silage (high moisture, short-term): 3 wraps
- Hay (dry, standard outdoor storage): 4 wraps
- Straw (low cohesion): 5 wraps
- Outdoor storage past 12 months or harsh UV/freeze-thaw: add 1 extra wrap
At the typical settings above, one roll yields approximately 290 bales per roll at 4 wraps per 5-ft bale; roughly 385 at 3 wraps (silage).

Frequently asked questions
What size net wrap does a Case IH RB565 use?
A Case IH RB565 accepts either 64-inch (163 cm) or 67-inch (170 cm) net wrap. XES SKU E64X7000G ($239.99) is the standard fit; SKU E67X7000G ($249.99) is the wider option.
Should I pick 64-inch or 67-inch for my RB565?
If your hay is going under cover within a few weeks, 64-inch is the standard chamber width and gives a clean, square-edge bale. If you store bales outdoors for 6+ months, 67-inch overhangs slightly and provides extra edge protection against rain ingress.
Do I need any kit on my RB565 to run XES net wrap?
Yes — the Duckbill Baffle Kit is required from the factory on this baler to handle standard net wrap reliably. Confirm your machine has it before ordering.
How many bales will one roll of XES 64-inch net wrap make on a RB565?
One 7,000-ft roll yields approximately 290 bales per roll at 4 wraps per 5-ft bale; roughly 385 at 3 wraps (silage).
Is XES net wrap a CoverEdge alternative for the RB565?
XES is a high-quality standard net wrap that fits the RB565 chamber. CoverEdge is an OEM-branded edge-to-edge product. For balers that accept either, XES delivers similar field performance at 30-50% lower cost.
