17 For the first time, producers will be able to monitor bale weight in real time from the cab. The optional ActiveWeigh system available on the RollBelt 561 uses three precision load cells and an onboard processor to calculate and display bale weight as it forms. Once the tailgate opens, the final weight is recorded and the system resets for the next bale. Operators can track average bale weight and total accumulated weight by field or job, improving inventory tracking, feed planning, and operational efficiency. The Roll-Belt 1 Series also introduces ISOBUS Class III as standard, simplifying tractor-to-implement communication. Two monitor options are available: • IntelliView IV Plus: A full-color touchscreen replacing the previous keypad-based display; • IntelliView 12: A multi-touch interface with faster response and full integration with New Holland’s FieldOps platform. All models can be equipped with IntelliBale Bale Automation, which automates the full baling cycle— from stopping the tractor to wrapping, ejecting, and resuming—all without manual input. The IntelliBale Bale Automation feature offers a fully automated baling cycle that significantly reduces operator workload. Once activated, IntelliBale takes over the entire process: it stops the tractor when the bale reaches its target size, initiates the wrapping sequence, raises the tailgate to eject the bale, and signals the operator when it’s time to resume baling. This hands-free operation not only improves efficiency but also ensures consistency in bale formation, especially during long days in the field when fatigue can lead to errors or uneven results. IntelliBale is especially valuable for solo operators or those managing large acreages, as it streamlines repetitive tasks and allows them to focus on field conditions, crop flow, and productivity. Connected and In Control with FieldOps The Roll-Belt 1 Series is fully compatible with New Holland FieldOps, a mobile and web-based platform that gives producers visibility into machine data, field history, and bale-by-bale performance. Two levels of connectivity are available: 01 Basic Telematics: Tracks baler location, activity, and drop points in real time. 02 Advanced Connectivity (with PCM and IntelliView 12): Provides detailed bale data—size, wraps, moisture, and weight—and generates layered field maps to visualize crop and machine performance. FieldOps data is transmitted via a built-in cellular modem and includes a lifetime connectivity subscription, making it easier than ever to track productivity, share insights, and make data-driven decisions. A Bold New Look and a Proven Legacy In addition to its internal and tech upgrades, the RollBelt 1 Series sports a bold new appearance with yellow side shields, aligning with New Holland’s global brand strategy for its hay and forage portfolio. For over 125 years, New Holland has supported farmers with the technology, solutions, and services they need for productive agriculture. With proven production machines that utilize the latest alternative fuel technology to power the sustainable revolution in farming, New Holland calls itself the sector’s clean energy leader. The 451, 461, and 561 models of the New Holland Roll-Belt 1 Series balers are in production, expected to arrive at dealerships in the fall of 2025. Berwager takes you through the 561 model in this video. | pag
