New Holland Pro-Belt baler previewed
Premium round baler built from the ground up with a completely new bale formation design, New Holland saidAttendees of New Holland’s recent Virtual Dealer Conference on March 10 were treated to a sneak peek of New Holland’s latest offering in Australia – the Pro-Belt Series round baler designed to offer versatility, durability and high performance in addition to excellent bale shapes in all conditions.
According to New Holland, the Pro-Belt has been designed based on feedback collected through numerous customer test-drives conducted across the world – from North America to Australia; and from New Zealand and Europe, where over 150,000 bales were produced.
Participants listed the key characteristics they look for in a baler: crop versatility, capacity, and bale density and appearance.
“Reliability and durability were at the top of the list for the Pro-Belt’s engineering scope of development, adding to New Holland’s already strong position in the hay industry,” said New Holland Product Segment Manager Fodder Conservation, Sune Nielsen.
“The Pro-Belt is simple in design with durability as a key element, running less chains and rollers than the current roll-belt.
“Larger rollers, bearing and sprockets with diamond chain throughout mean this baler is highly dependable for high annual use in all crop conditions.”
The Pro-Belt baler features a variable chamber offering a 165cm and 190cm maximum bale size configuration. It will be available in both a rotor feeder version and 25 knife rotor cutter version.
The baler will come standard with auto greaser, moisture meter, service lights and is IntelliBale™ compatible.

The heavy-duty 520 mm-diameter rotor in combination with the active drop floor provides constant feedback to the operator, enabling them to maximise productivity with high throughput and non-stop feeding.
New Holland said the Pro-Belt can perform equally well in silage and dry straw to produce consistently high bale density and perfectly formed, firm bales for easy handling and stacking.
It has a capacity of up to 30 tonnes per hour and 140 kg/m3 in straw, allowing customers to bale their crop faster and more efficiently.
New Holland is expecting a limited number of units to be available to Australian customers for the 2022 hay season.
