Information

The 2026 New Holland Roll-Belt 461 hay baler is a versatile, variable-chamber round baler engineered to deliver high-quality, dense bales across a wide range of forage crops including hay, straw, and silage. Built as part of New Holland’s modern Roll-Belt™ series, the 461 model produces bales with diameters ranging from 36 in to 72 in (approximately 91.5–182 cm) and a consistent 46.5 in (118 cm) bale width, allowing operators to create uniform 4 × 6 ft bales that balance easy handling with efficient storage and transport. Its heavy-duty construction typically includes six premium endless belts with sealed edges that help consistently form a tight bale, while adjustable density pressure lets farmers tailor bale firmness to crop conditions and livestock needs. The baler’s overall footprint with the tailgate closed is around 189 in (~481 cm) long and 113 in (~287 cm) high, and shipped weight generally falls in the range of 6,553–7,174 lb (2,972–3,254 kg) depending on options chosen, reflecting rugged build quality suited to full-season use. The pickup assembly is designed to handle a variety of windrow sizes with several width options, and tine counts (e.g., 112–160) and bars (4- or 5-bar) tailored to crop type, while heavy-duty slip or cut-out clutches protect the drivetrain. Bale wrapping is managed with dual twine arms, automatic electric twine control, and the EdgeWrap™ net wrap system with capacity for multiple net rolls, making operation efficient and reducing downtime. Additional features typically include the Bale Command™ II PLUS monitor for intuitive in-cab control and bale monitoring, and optional tire and pickup configurations that adapt the baler to specific field conditions. Overall, the Roll-Belt 461 combines durability, adjustable bale formation, and modern control systems to support efficient hay harvesting for livestock producers and custom operators alike
