2025 New Holland Agriculture RF440 Utility

THE SIMPLE AFFORDABLE WAY TO MAKE QUALITY BALES New RF Series fixed-chamber balers are simple, tough, affordable and easy to use, ensuring you can create quality bales in a wide range of conditions. These new balers are the perfect choice for smaller livestock farms, sundowners, and rural lifestylers, and a great alternative to a more premium variable-chamber silage machine. Features • Wide Pickups: RF Utility balers feature a 2.0-meter pickup; RF450 SuperFeed™ pickup is 2.25 meters wide, ideal for consuming large windrows from high-yielding crops. • Efficient Tine Bars: Four tine bars with closely spaced tines ensure a clean sweep and even feeding; two stub augers create well-packed bale edges. • Windguard Feeder: Helps flatten and flow swath into the bale chamber; selectable floating or fixed modes optimize ground speed. • Rotor Feeder (RF450 SuperFeed™): Shearbolt-protected with spiral-mounted tines actively feeding material into the bale chamber. • Full Bale Chamber Feed Opening: Generous clearance between the front of the bale chamber and floor roll allows handling of large swaths. • Pneumatic Pickup Wheels: Provide excellent ground following for clean crop gathering. • Durable Tine Bars: Mounted in robust bushings for long service life; bushings can be quickly replaced. • Chain & Slat System: Tumbles crop to start baling; forms low-density core and dense water-repelling shell. • Ribbed Floor Rolls: Combined with revolving slats to start bales rolling consistently even with uneven, wet, or sticky swaths. • Close Slat Spacing: Ensures efficient compression for consistent bale density (RF440 – 34 slats; RF450 – 41 slats). • Mechanical Bale Density System: Three settings via front lever – Green (less dense), Yellow (intermediate), Red (densest). • Twine & Net Capability: Configurable for twine, net, or both; up to four twine spools and two net rolls installed from ground level. • Auto-Wrap™ Monitor: Audible and digital alerts for bale completion; initiates twine/net wrap automatically. • Simple Bale Ejector: Spring-loaded guide protects wrap during bale drop. • Tailgate Lock: Mechanical hooks; Auto-Wrap™ monitors pressure for proper bale formation. • RF Utility Bales: RF440 – 4'x4', 2.0-m pickup, 1 floor roll, 34-slat chain; RF450 – 4'x5', 2.0-m pickup, 2 floor rolls, 41-slat chain. • Pickup Suspension: Single adjustable spring on RF400 Utility models. • Tractor Requirements: Designed for smaller tractors with minimal power and hydraulic flow; only two hydraulic remotes required. • Maintenance Access: Vertically hinged shielding; six main drive chains (RF450 SuperFeed optional) with automatic lubrication. • Tough Performance: RF450 SuperFeed handles dense 4'x5' bales including silage up to 80% moisture; suitable for sticky silage, dry or brittle material, long-stalked crops. • Pickup Protection: Radial pin slip clutch and shearbolt; PTO shaft has slip clutch protection. • Rotor Drive: Shearbolt-protected; spiral-mounted tines for smooth feeding. • Easy Maintenance: Vertically hinged side panels, seven main drive chains with automatic lubrication, multiple grease points.
