New 2023 New Holland Roll-Belt 450 Utility Plus Round Baler, Twine

HAY: IT’S IN OUR DNA.
Whether youÕre a part-time farmer occasionally baling 20 acres or a custom operator with 20 customers, thereÕs a New Holland Roll-Beltª baler to suit your needs. In fact, there are nearly twenty different models for you to choose from. From 4Õ X 5Õ to 5Õ X 6Õ, uniform, dense bales are produced in every size and crop condition. Like the sprawling taproots of alfalfa, New HollandÕs presence in farming runs deep. New Holland has grown immensely, becoming a well-known and respected manufacturer of agricultural equipment worldwide. But no matter how deep plant outgrowths run, the heartiest roots reside at the stem of the plant. In 1974, the first New Holland round baler rolled off the assembly line in New Holland, Pennsylvania. Forty years and over 235,000 round balers later, youÕll discover the same assembly line still builds the latest generation of New Holland Roll-Beltª balers. Not many manufacturers can say that. At New Holland, haymaking is at the core of our heritage. ItÕs in our DNA.
READY TO ROLL
EASY OWNERSHIP: Roll-Beltª 450, 460, 550, and 560 balers possess the newest design enhancements and smartest technology to ensure that they remain in the field. What does that mean for you? 20% increases in belt strength, belt driving force, and capacity.
STOP THE SQUAT: From the moment the pickup tines touch the windrow, Roll-Belt balers pick up all of your valuable crop. Curved-tine pickups get all your hay, and feed crop from edge to edge of the bale chamber for easy-to-handle, square-shouldered bales.
BALE LIKE NEVER BEFORE: Numerous options on Roll-Belt round balers are available to provide you with peace of mind and simplify your baling experience. ISOBUS compatibility paired with a 10″ color touchscreen IntelliViewTM monitor eliminates the need to run multiple wires into the cab of your tractor.
HIGHER DENSITY + MORE CAPACITY = REDUCED STORAGE LOSSES: The industryÕs densest bales combined with EdgeWrapª net wrapping yields weather-resistant bales that reduce storage losses.

THE DISTANCE FROM OUR ENGINEERING BUILDING TO OUR HAY FIELD
If youÕve ever wondered where we capture some of our photos, look no further than the company-owned fields that surround our North American headquarters in New Holland, Pennsylvania. The long-term success of New Holland round balers is owed to the innovative ideas and hands-on approach of our employees, as well as the feedback from our dealers and customers. Like you, weÕre not afraid to get dusty or sunburned. In fact, we’ve made over 125,000 bales worldwide while testing these balers. After all, itÕs this approach that has produced innovative ideas for our field-tested, farmer-approved balers.
HOW IT’S MADE
To start the process of making a bale, the pickup (A) gathers crop from the ground. The floor roll (B) feeds crop from the pickup into the belts (C). The floor roll also carries the majority of the baleÕs weight, which reduces stress on the belts and lacings for longer life and lower maintenance costs. Constant action between the floor roll and the bale provides superior feeding compared to designs that feed directly from the pickup into the bale. Additionally, when a bale is being formed, its center of gravity is behind the centerline of the floor roll to allow bales to naturally fall out of the chamber when ejected, unlike competitive designs. Next, the starter roll (D) helps turn the crop and start the core. The ribs of the fixed roll (E) aid in keeping the bale rotating. This roll also transmits power to the remaining upper rolls: the pivot roll (F), the ribbed stripper roll (G), and the follower roll (H). The function of the three rolls is to assist in rolling material and forming the baleÕs core. The stripper roll is also ribbed to strip material off the apron belts and direct it back into the bale.

As the bale grows, the top rolls (G & H) pivot forward. The belt tension arm (I) also rotates to allow the bale chamber to expand. The belt tension cylinder (J) and belt tension spring (K) deliver reduced belt tension at the start to en-sure positive core formation, even when baling short, dry crop. When the bale reaches full size, the tractor is stopped by the operator. The wrapping mechanism starts automatically.
PACKED WITH INNOVATION
The design of Roll-Belt balers utilizes heavy-duty steel rolls in both the front of the baler as well as in the floor of the bale chamber. The rolls are combined with short, tough belts in the back to deliver fast, consistent core formation and tight, uniform bales regardless of the crop youÕre baling. This proven combination also forms the densest bales in the industry. By packing more of your valuable crop into each bale, you’re able to save both time and money.
WHY DOES DENSITY MATTER?
From the moment you start baling to the moment the last bale is unloaded at your storage location, there are numerous benefits to making dense bales. Making denser bales in the field reduces compaction and plant damage, which promotes faster regrowth and higher tonnages for the next cutting. Making more compact bales not only reduces your baling time, but handling, wrapping, and transportation costs, too. Lastly, dense bales weather better with less loss because of their ability to shed precipitation and resist absorbing moisture from the ground. Density always matters.
