New Holland introduces the Roll-Belt Plus variable chamber baler in two models. The 180 Plus produces 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 improve throughput and minimize downtime.
“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 under tough conditions, while giving operators and managers the data they need to make informed decisions in real time.”
The new Roll-Belt 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 reduces operator fatigue and improves 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 IntelliView 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 IntelliView 12 monitor option introduces advanced multi-touch capability, faster response times, and seamless integration with New Holland’s FieldOps platform.
Thanks to connectivity compatibility, both in-cab operators and managers, whether on the move or in the office, can use FieldOps 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.
- 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 seal against dirt and contaminants. Upgraded high-tensile chains are standard on all Rotor Cutter and Rotor Feeder models, for durability while keeping maintenance costs to a minimum.
