OME97080 is the original operator's manual written and published directly by John Deere for the 456 and 556 Round Balers from serial number 112001 onward. Every operating procedure, safety requirement, baler adjustment specification, control description, wrapping system setting, maintenance interval, lubrication specification, and technical specification in this manual comes directly from John Deere factory data — making it the most accurate and complete operating reference available for both models within this serial number range in a single 400-page PDF document.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eBuilt for the 456 \u0026amp; 556 Round Balers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eThe John Deere 456 and 556 are fixed-chamber round balers designed for reliable, consistent, high-quality bale formation across a wide range of hay, straw, haylage, and forage crops on farms and in custom baling operations of all sizes. Both models pick up the windrow using a bat-reel or s-tine pickup depending on configuration, feed the crop into the fixed baling chamber, form the bale to the target diameter and density through the baling chamber belt and roller system, apply twine or net wrap depending on configuration and option package, and eject the completed bale through the hydraulically operated tailgate — all in a continuous, efficient cycle that allows high-output baling across large acreages when correctly set up and operated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eThe 456 and 556 are fixed-chamber balers — they produce a consistent bale diameter every cycle, which provides uniform bale weight and dimensions for efficient storage, transport, and feeding. The 556 offers a larger bale diameter than the 456, providing greater bale weight and volume per cycle for higher-volume applications and situations where fewer, larger bales are preferred for handling or storage efficiency. Both models share the same fundamental baling chamber design, pickup and feeding system, wrapping system options, and operational principles — making OME97080 an efficient and comprehensive single operator's reference for both machines. All differences in bale diameter, capacity, specification, and any model-specific adjustment procedures between the 456 and 556 are clearly identified throughout the 400
