Variable-chamber Balers Introduced
New Holland is building on the technology, connectivity and durability of its variable- chamber round balers with the introduction of the new Roll-BeltTM 180 PLUS (producing bales up to 1.8m diameter) and 150 PLUS (up to 1.5m diameter). They offer multiple feeding options and feature upgraded components and technology to maximize throughput and minimize downtime, helping customers do more in short weather windows.
“With the Roll-Belt PLUS series, we’re delivering a smarter, stronger, and more connected solution for today’s farmers,” says Laurent Libbrecht, Global Hay and Forage Product Management.
“These machines are built to perform in the toughest conditions, while giving operators and managers the data they need to make informed decisions in real time.”
ISOBUS standard
The new Roll-BeltTM PLUS models now come standard with ISOBUS, enabling additional features to be unlocked when working with a compatible tractor. These include Tractor- Baler Automation, which significantly reduces operator fatigue and boosts productivity by automating the Stop-Wrap-Eject-Start functions.
ISOBUS also allows direct connection to the tractor’s display or access through New Holland’s upgraded ISOBUS monitor options, such as IntelliViewTM IV Plus, which replaces the former keypad-based interface with a modern, full-color touchscreen. This enhanced display provides a more intuitive, user-friendly experience, for faster access to key functions and real-time performance data. For even greater functionality, the IntelliViewTM 12 monitor option introduces advanced multi-touch capability, faster response times, and seamless integration with New Holland’s FieldOpsTM platform.
Thanks to connectivity compatibility, both in-cab operators and managers – whether on the move or in the office — can use FieldOpsTM to remotely track the baler’s location and access individual bale data.
Two telematics options are available:
- Basic Telematics enables access to baler data via the FieldOps Mobile App or website.
- Advanced Connectivity provides additional access to agronomic data and field maps through the same platforms.
Durability by Design
The Roll-Belt Plus series introduces a new roll design with seamless construction and 3.5 times thicker steel than on outgoing models, maximizing wear resistance.
For additional protection and increased lifespan, the Plus series is equipped with triple- lip bearings that provide a superior seal against dirt and contaminants. Upgraded high- tensile chains are standard on all Rotor Cutter and Rotor Feeder models, for the highest possible durability while keeping maintenance costs to a minimum.
