New Holland has restyled and upgraded its Roll Baler range of balers.
The company said the new Roll Baler 125 and Roll Baler 125 Combi models had been completely restyled and extensively renewed and upgraded to meet the requirements of the most demanding contractors, livestock and mixed farmers.
The company’s head of hay and forage and croup production product management, Simon Nichol, said: “The new Roll Baler models are designed to operate in a wide range of conditions, delivering consistently high bale quality even when working with heavy grass, dense hay or large dry, brittle straw swaths. The new models dramatically increase performance in bale quality, durability, reliability and ease of operation and share many advanced features with the Roll Baler 135 Ultra that is in a class of its own.”
He said the Roll Baler 125 featured the latest pick-up, which was introduced on the company’s Big Baler and Roll Belt balers.
“At 2.3m, it is 300mm wider than in the previous model. The five tine bars with double cam drive and the adjustable suspension deliver ultimate feeding capacity and best-in-class pick up efficiency,” added Mr Nichol.
“The improved roller windguard, also adopted from the Big Baler range, ensures perfect feeding of very small or heavy windrows and is available with a choice of removable fixed or swivel wheels. That can be stowed on the pick up for transport, and remains under 3m wide when the pick-up wheels are installed.”
He said the new models also featured a new drop floor – the unique pivot design lowers the floor by 120mm at the front and 60 mm at the rear, making it far easier and quicker to clear a blockage without any losses. The knives lower automatically when the drop floor is lowered. The optional Rotor declutch system ensures fast unplugging even in extreme conditions.
Mr Nichol said the all-new advanced roller design with 10 notches reduces crop losses in dry conditions and provides a perfect grip in all conditions, ensuring superior bale density every time.
In addition, the new film wrap on the Roll Baler 125 Combi (also featured on the Roll Baler 135 Ultra) is unique to New Holland. It has a positive hydraulic feed that can be set to pre-stretch the film to ensure a tight, secure and reliable wrap every time thanks to the bundle arms. The system works with plastic or net with a roller up to 1,400mm wide, and three rollers can be carried on board.
Mr Nichol said: “The wrapper speed is 20% higher than in the previous model, dramatically increasing productivity.”
