Roll-Belt™ 180 PLUS and 150 PLUS: New Variable-chamber Balers Boosted by Enhanced Technology, Connectivity and Durability
- ISOBUS connectivity for seamless plug-and-play touchscreen operation
- Telematics option for remote monitoring and task recording
- Upgraded chains, rollers and bearings deliver more durability, greater uptime
New Holland is building on the technology, connectivity and durability of its variablechamber
round balers with the introduction of the new Roll-Belt™ 180 PLUS (producing
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 maximize
throughput and minimize downtime, helping customers do more in short weather
windows.
“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 in the toughest conditions, while giving operators
and managers the data they need to make informed decisions in real time.”
Where Technology Meets Performance
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 significantly reduces operator fatigue and boosts 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.
Durability by Design
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 triplelip
bearings that provide a superior seal against dirt and contaminants. Upgraded hightensile
chains are standard on all Rotor Cutter and Rotor Feeder models, for the highest
possible durability while keeping maintenance costs to a minimum.
