Ergonomic controls for the New Holland "Roll Belt"

May - June 2016 | Back

Since their debut on the market, which took place in 2013, the Roll Belt variable chamber round balers by New Holland have stood out for their rich technological resources, characterized by the latest-generation systems such as the SuperFeed and CropCutter rotor options, or the ActiveSweepper device. These technologies have allowed the manufacturer to improve the capacity of their machines up to 20% and the density up to 5%, with the further advantage of offering maximum freedom of pressing customization. The evolution of these models continues today with the ability to manage, from the cab of the tractor, the density adjustment function and the change in density of the bale core, through the IntelliView touchscreen colour monitor or the Bale Command Plus II monitor. In addition, the Roll Belt round balers are equipped with an innovative transducer that measures the pressure of the bale density control system and displays it on the monitor, thus enabling the driver to know in real time the density of the pressed bale at that time. The user - according to a New Holland technical note - can make adjustments in 10 bar increments on the monitor (the adjustment value changes automatically), and even set a different density for the core and the outer layer of the bale; as soon as it reaches the density set for the core, the system switches to the preset density for the outer layer. When pressing hay in marginal conditions requiring ventilation, you can choose a lower density core, while in other conditions, as in the case of dry straw, you can adjust the density of the core to a higher level. If the bales are to be transported over long distances, the ideal solution is to aim for a particularly dense core.
