New Holland has unveiled its new Roll Baler range of heavy duty fixed-chamber round balers that features a standard model and two combination baler-wrapper models.
The new Roll Baler 125 makes bales 122cm wide and with a diameter of 125cm; the Roll Baler 125 Combi makes bales the same size but features an integral wrapper; and the Roll Baler 135 Ultra makes and wraps bales 122cm wide and 135cm in diameter.
“The heavy duty Roll Baler has been engineered by design to offer outstanding in-field performance, uniformly dense bales, efficient road transport and bullet proof reliability. Everything professional contractors and large scale dairy farmers are looking for to boost their productivity,” New Holland’s head of hay and forage product management, Bob Hatz, said. “Furthermore, the flagship Roll Baler completes New Holland’s round baler line up, alongside the standard BR6000 fixed-chamber baler and the BR7000 variable-chamber models.”
The 2.1m pick-up working width for both Roll Baler 125 models and the 2.2m pick-up working width for the Roll Baler 135 model ensures that every last piece of crop is efficiently transferred into the chamber, even when working in heavy first-cut silage or dense straw swaths produced by today’s high-capacity combines. The five-tine bars maintain positive contact with the crop and provide an even flow to prevent clogging. The 470mm diameter rotor features 10mm thick tines for exceptional reliability and durability to further extend machine life.
The Roll Baler range features 18 rollers each with a 200mm diameter, for accurate and uniform bale formation. Their aggressive profile maintains contact with the crop, independent of crop type and condition, for dense core formation and uniform filling. Overall machine longevity is enhanced as the high number of rollers ensures that bale weight is equally spread across the entire circumference of the chamber during formation. It also eliminates excessive loading points. Roller working life has been extended thanks to a highly wear-resistant material used in their construction. This is perfect for operations that work extensively in particularly abrasive crops.
Contractors can offer their customers even greater flexibility as both the Roll Baler 125 Combi and the Roll Baler 135 Ultra are compatible with both traditional net wrap and state-of-the-art film wrap. Furthermore, the overall cost of wrap is significantly lower because uniform side and end wrapping can be achieved in a shorter time with a reduced quantity of plastic.
The dedicated bale monitor features intuitive impulse contact buttons for true fingertip control. An easy-to-read display allows operators to monitor and control a whole host of parameters including bale density, PTO speed, net/film indication, manual and automatic tying selection and even the number of wraps per bale. Contractors can provide accurate job reports courtesy of the bale counter that can store up to 50 individual customers’ bale counts, and farmers can accurately monitor the yield per field.
When used in conjunction with a tractor featuring load-sensing hydraulics, the Roll Baler automatically controls the hydraulic flow, using only the precise volume required to maintain pick-up performance and pressure.
The Roll Baler range’s low centre of gravity guarantees outstanding stability even when working on the most extreme gradients and side slopes. Owners can tailor the configuration of their Roll Baler to suit their needs courtesy of the tyre offering. All tyre configurations comply with the stringent 3m transport width restriction. Super wide, 500×22.5 flotation tyres are available on the Roll Baler 125 that reduce compaction to facilitate valuable regrowth, as well as enhancing traction in boggy conditions. The Roll Baler 125 Combi and the Roll Baler 135 Ultra are available with 55/50R17 tyres for smooth travel in fields and on the road.
New Holland knows that during tight baling windows, every second spent in the yard is a second lost in the field. That’s why the Roll Baler has been designed to offer the ultimate in easy servicing. The single-piece, lightweight front shield provides easy access to all servicing and lubrication points. The centralised automatic greasing system assures long life, as does the automatic oiling system that continuously oils all chains.
