HAY MAKERS:NEW HOLLAND EXPANDS ROUND BALER LINEUP ADDS LARGE-FRAME TELEHANDLER MODELS FOR LIFTING HEAVY BALES

摘要

New Holland has expanded its line of Roll-Belt round balers with new models 450, 460, and 550. The 450 makes 4 x 5-foot bales, the 460 makes 4 x 6-foot bales, and the 550 makes 5x5-foot bales.Two of the 4-foot-wide bales can sit side by side on a flatbed trailer without exceeding most state DOT guidelines for load width (typically 8 1/2 feet), explains Curt Hoffman, New Holland's hay packaging marketing manager.The new balers have more cutter choices, he adds. The Bale-Slice option has knives on the lower starter roll that cut hay into an average of 6- to 8-inch lengths, letting bales be packed up to 14% more dense.
