New Holland used the backdrop of the recent Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, to introduce its upgraded Roll-Belt 1 Series round balers for the 2027 model year.
Updates include larger rollers and bearings and a new net protection system for 5×6 models, which improves baling in tough conditions such as heavy cornstalk residue.
“These Roll-Belt round baler updates are designed to make every day baling easier, more consistent and more productive. With practical improvements like net wrap protection, durability, in-cab control and factory-fit automation, we’re helping operators work with greater confidence, even in demanding conditions,” Alex Berwager, product go-to-market manager for New Holland North America, said in a press release.
The new net protection system uses “electro-hydraulic belt tension control” when the bale is ejected.
As the tailgate is raised, tension on the belt is reduced to stop belt movement and help prevent net wrap damage as the bale exits out the back.
Three models make up the 1 Series lineup:
- Roll-Belt 451 with a 4×5-foot bale size.
- Roll-Belt 461 with a 4×6-foot bale size.
- Roll-Belt 561 with a 5×6-foot bale size.
All three models include an ActiveWeigh system that lets operators monitor bale weight as it’s formed in the chamber.
New Holland has also beefed up key wear areas with large, heavier parts for the tailgate, back wrap and follower rollers. Heavier duty bearings have also been added.
MY2027 Roll-Belt 1 Series balers will also include a new, colour Bale Command 8 display option for customers who don’t need full Isobus functions.
A factory installed, IntelliBale automation will be provided as an option on the updated Roll-Belt 1 Series round balers. A bale presence switch will be provided on the machine invoice to reduce dealer setup and activation time.
Pre-ordering is now open for MY2027 Roll-Belt 1 Series round balers.
