New Holland (CNH) – other models: the collective page of balers outside the named ranges, BB big square balers and BR round balers, unladen weights 1,338 to 9,834 kg
This page gathers the New Holland balers the register could not assign to a named range – the big square balers of the BB series (BB920, BB9090) and the round balers of the BR series from the BR550 to the BR780, with the BR7060 and BR7070 each in Fork and Rotor versions and the BR730 and BR740 in High-Moisture and Silage variants for moist crop and silage. BB denotes New Holland's BigBaler range of big square balers, BR its RollBelt range of round balers; New Holland itself traces back to a farm-machinery works founded in 1895 in Pennsylvania and has belonged to the CNH group since the 1999 merger of Fiat and Case.

The register lists here 18 versions with unladen weights from 1,338 to 9,834 kg, lengths from 3,430 to 9,400 mm, widths from 2,000 to 3,280 mm and heights from 2,160 to 3,580 mm.
The BigBaler and RollBelt ranges form the backbone of New Holland's baler programme and compete directly with Case IH, Claas, Krone and John Deere in the European and North American markets; the High-Moisture and Silage variants show how closely the range is tailored to different crop moistures and uses from straw to silage.
When buying used, what matters on the round balers is the pressing-chamber belts, the net wrapper and the roller bearings, on the big square balers the plunger, connecting-rod bearings, knotter and duct walls, plus the pickup, cutting rotor and tyres; spares run through the CNH network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
