Roll-Belt™ Round Balers

BIG ON CAPACITY, SIZE AND PRODUCTIVITY

Whether you’re baling dry hay in the spring, slippery bulky windrows of straw in the summer, or coarse cornstalks in the fall, Roll-Belt™ 560 Specialty Crop balers deliver bales as big as their capacity. These all-purpose balers are built strong to handle tough conditions and pack a tight bale to enhance your productivity.

SPECIAL DEMANDS REQUIRE A SPECIAL BALER

Specialty Crop balers deliver big capacity in difficult conditions. ActiveSweep™ models feature a 2.0M pickup to easily gather big windrows, while the all-steel roller windguard compresses material ahead of a heavy-duty five-bar reel. Crop moves quickly from the pickup to the bale chamber thanks to the high-capacity 14-inch diameter overshot feeder. Bale after bale, the Roll-Belt combination of steel rollers and premium laced belts with heavy-duty, plate-type lacing delivers solid, good-looking bales in any crop.

FAST UNLOADING TO MAXIMIZE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY

When you measure success by how many bales are on the ground, every second counts. To maximize your productivity, Roll-Belt round balers feature one of the fastest tailgate cycle times in the industry. If your tractor has limited hydraulic flow, an optional belt declutch is available to stop the belts while unloading to prevent bale scuffing. Tractors with modern, high-flow hydraulics can adjust tailgate speed by altering remote valve flow.

RAMP UP THE BENEFITS

To protect finished bales from stubble damage, all Roll-Belt models, including the 560 Specialty Crop, come standard with a mechanical spring-loaded bale ramp to gently roll each bale on the ground and prevent bales from rolling back. For peace of mind, a bale ramp position sensor is available to display whether the ramp is up or down directly on the monitor. A hydraulically-actuated ramp is optional and tied directly to the tailgate cycle for added convenience.

A PLUS FOR ADDED VERSATILITY

Designed for a wider variety of demanding conditions, Specialty Crop PLUS models feature a heavier-duty driveline with a higher torque cut-out clutch to deliver more power to the baler, PLUS enhancements for high-moisture baling that prevent crop accumulation, wrapping and virtually eliminate belt slippage.

PRODUCTIVITY

1 – Bale with less maintenance. The constant velocity PTO has a 50-hour service interval, and a premium 1000-rpm cut-out-clutch can deliver up to 25% more torque to power through tough crops.
2 – Eliminate belt lacing maintenance. Premium endless belts with a self-cleaning surface that maintain a constant grip are standard.

POWER

3 – To deliver increased power, the main gearbox is heavier-duty, and the right-side drive shaft diameter is over 1 ¾” larger, with extra support and bigger bearings for the triple-drive sprocket.
4 – Premium Diamond®-brand drive chain is upgraded from #80 heavy to #100 to power the belts. Plus, the fixed and starter roll drives are upgraded from #80 standard chain to #80 heavy chain, with thicker side plates to better resist stretching.

PERFORMANCE

5 – Fully silage-capable, the Specialty Crop PLUS is outfitted with the same features as Silage Special balers, including a dual sledge frame, a rubber-covered spiral back wrap roll and a tailgate nose chopping roll.

CANADIAN SIGNATURE EDITION

A special Canadian Signature Edition is available exclusively on Roll-Belt 560 Specialty Crop PLUS models. These balers offer the same features, but come with a commemorative decal, all-yellow shields and white rims.
