New Holland Agriculture receives 2017 EquipmentWatch Highest Retained Value Award for Roll-Belt™ Round Balers

Feb 27, 2017

EquipmentWatch, the leader in data, software and insights for the heavy equipment industry, awards New Holland Agriculture the 2017 EquipmentWatch Highest Retained Value Award for its Roll-Belt™ round balers. Winners of each category were selected based off projection to retain the highest percentage of its original value after five years.

“We are honored to be recognized by EquipmentWatch for our Roll-Belt™ round balers highest retained value in the baler category,” said Bret Lieberman, Vice President of New Holland North America. “The award is a true testament to our quality, excellence and market leadership in the Hay & Forage industry.”

In addition to holding their value, New Holland Roll-Belt™ round balers also create some of the densest bales in the industry. Packing more crop into each bale translates to lower overall bale counts, and fewer bales allow operators save time and money in the field. Fewer bales means lower wrapping, retrieval, fuel, and freight costs, pushing more money to operators' bottom lines.

In addition to receiving the highest recognition in the Baler category, New Holland received several nominations in both the agriculture and construction categories, including:

Combines: New Holland CR Series combines
Sprayers: New Holland SP Series
Large wheel tractors: New Holland T8 Series
Backhoes: New Holland B95
Compact Track Loaders: New Holland C238
Large Skid Steer Loaders: New Holland L220

New Holland will formally accept the 2017 EquipmentWatch Award for the Roll-Belt™ round balers at ConExpo in Las Vegas, Nevada, taking place March 7 through March 11.
