New Holland North America said it is rolling out a new era in round baling with the launch of its Roll-Belt 1 Series—a reengineered lineup of variable chamber balers designed to help haymakers work smarter, bale faster, and stay connected in the field. The Series features three updated models—the RollBelt 451, 461, and 561—which the company said will integrate more durability, more feeding capacity, and more technology than ever before. “No matter the crop, New Holland has a baler built for the job, and they’re proudly made right here in New Holland, Pennsylvania,” stated Alex Berwager, livestock and dairy business manager for New Holland North America. “Whether you’re a beef producer in the Southern Plains or Midwest, or running a dairy in the Northeast, the new Roll-Belt 1 Series was designed with your needs in mind,” continued Berwager. “There’s a configuration to fit nearly every operation.” Feeding Performance Gets a Boost The Roll-Belt 1 Series introduces a redesigned single roller windguard as standard on all OverShot Feeder (OSF) pickup models. This all-new 8.4-inch roller is 60 percent larger in diameter than its predecessor, helping compress the crop mat more effectively and improve feeding into the chamber. For larger windrows, New Holland said that the RollBelt 561 offers an optional dual roller windguard. Its front and rear rollers pivot independently to adapt to variable crop and ground conditions. Operators can also lock both rollers together to compress loose or fluffy windrows. “Each of these three models has a distinct fit,” pointed out Berwager. “Take, for example, the Roll-Belt 561. In corn stalks, it truly shines,” he said. “We’re seeing a 16 percent improvement in feeding capacity thanks to the dual roller windguard, jumping from 43 to 50 tons per hour. Berwager noted that it means less plugging from the controlled crop flow and greater productivity to tackle more when the operator’s time is short. Built Stronger from the Inside Out Durability is a cornerstone of the Roll-Belt 1 Series. The bale forming rolls now feature an extruded roll construction made from seamless tubing that’s 3.5 times thicker than the previous design. According to New Holland, this reduces weld points and improves structural integrity and wear resistance. The pivot roll has also been reinforced with a longer right-side shaft and an internal plate to handle heavy feed loads. It now includes three inner support plates to reduce stress and extend component life. Bearings across the baler have been upgraded to a triple-lip seal design, offering superior protection from dust and debris while keeping internal grease clean and effective. All three models also feature premium Diamond drive chains and upgraded RC100 belt drive roll chains, enhancing the machine’s ability to handle high-volume tasks with confidence. 16 WATCH THE VIDEO PHOTO: agriculture.newholland.com BUILT TO BALE SMARTER New Holland’s Roll-Belt 1 Series Delivers Strength, Speed, and Smart Tech to Everyday Haymaking ANDREW JOSEPH FARMS.COM
