A major focus for New Holland here at the Farm Progress Show is their lineup of haying equipment. I spoke with Gary Wojcik who provided an overview of all the different products New Holland has just introduced.

Products include: BR7000 Series Round Balers, Carted Wheel Rakes, Crop Mergers,
H6000 Series Disc Mowers, H7000 Series Discbine® Disc Mower-Conditioners,
H8000 Series Speedrower® Self-Propelled Windrowers, Automatic Bale Wagons, BB9000 Series Large Square Balers, BC5000 Series Small Square Balers, Roll-Belt™ Round Balers and Tedders.

Gary says one of the newest tools in the lineup is their Heavy Duty wheel rake.

New Holland’s new H5980 heavy-duty wheel rake is built for the rigorous demands of hay growers requiring high-speed, high-volume, flat-land raking. The rake can be operated at speeds as high as 15 mph.

With eight 60″ raking wheels on the left side and nine on the right, the H5980 rakes an area up to 30’3″ wide. This offset design turns all the crop, ensuring uniform crop drydown. There’s no need for a center kicker wheel, so the operator can drive faster. A convenient hydraulic adjustment allows the operator to change windrow width from the tractor seat to produce a finished windrow as wide as 72″.

Gary says most of these products will be available by year end and now is a good time to pre-order which will also help them plan their production to meet customer’s needs.
