Round baler

The New Holland BR Roll-Belt round baler comes in eight models,

producing bales weighing 300 to 2,200 pounds.

Some are designed to bale crops with moisture content up to 65 percent

for high quality round bale silage.

The roll-and-belt design uses heavy-duty rolls in front of the bale

chamber and short, tough belts in the back to deliver consistent core

formation and tight, uniform bales in dry hay, cornstalks and silage.

Extra-wide pickups ensure fast, positive feeding.

VIDEO: Green Lightning and Nytro Ag win sustainability innovation award

Nytro Ag Corp and Green Lightning recieved an innovation award at Ag in Motion 2025 for the Green Lightning Nitrogen Machine, which converts atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-usable form.

The Bale-Slice system, optional on the BR740 Silage Special and the

BR780, cuts crops as bales are formed, resulting in bales that feed

more easily and are more

digestible.

The company said a recent university study proves bales made with the

Bale-Slice system are up to 14 percent denser than unsliced bales and

can increase average daily weight gain in yearling heifers by 23

percent.

Bale-Slice is controlled by a monitoring system and features a series

of knives on the starter roll. The knives pivot into the bale after the

core is formed, resulting in bales that peel apart for easier feeding.

The CropCutter rotary feeding and cutting system, unique to the BR740,

is equipped with up to 15 knives and cuts crop as it is fed into the

baler. Minimum cut length of 2.6 inches is obtained with all 15 knives

installed. Any combination of knives may be used to achieve the desired

length of cut in various crops.

CropCutter bales are denser and heavier due to smaller particle length.

In silage, this increased compaction means less air in the bale,

resulting in better fermentation. In straw, it results in easier

spreading and increased absorbency.
