The standard pickup uses a redesigned pickup band and a new method of band attachment to increase the ability of the bands to more easily flex under harsh baling conditions.

A number of improvements to the windrow pickup and stuffer, change in the auger diameter and length, and modification to the design of the windguard allow the XtraSweep wide pickup to feed crops into the baler more efficiently. Producers can manage much wider windrows, saving time and leaving virtually no crop on the ground.

Infeed discs are now included on BR770A and BR780A round balers as part of the main frame weld assembly. Previously, infeed bolt-on discs were available as a dealer-installed accessory and they remain available for all models of New Holland Roll-Belt round balers.

New endless belts for the BR740A and BR750A models are thicker, which improves belt stiffness and denser bale formation. (The three-year/15,000 bale Bonded Protection program on endless belts is still tops the industry.)

Balers equipped with AutoWrap now use a new flexible rubber shield that flexes during operation to improving twine starting.

Twine knife pivot bushings are now made of sturdier UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) plastic material.

BR780A round balers are equipped with a new bale ramp that directs the bale in a straighter line away from the baler. The improved bale ramp also uses heavier springs to move the bale more positively away from the baler.
