New Holland’s Hayliner small square balers were popular machines across the Prairies — when small square bales were the method of choice for putting up winter feed. That was, of course, before the large round baler took over that duty on most farms.
In 2022, New Holland gave its small square baler line an overhaul and brought back the Hayliner name.
“With the new Hayliner small square balers, we’re fusing legendary performance and reliability with new modern styling,” says Jordan Milewski, conventional hay tools marketing manager for New Holland Agriculture North America. “These new balers are the next evolution in our commitment to enhancing the haymaking process and finding efficiencies at all levels of an operation.”

CNH plans for “more than 15 new tractor launches, 10 combine launches, 19 crop production launches and over 30 precision technology releases between now and the end of 2027.”
To get a smoother and more even material flow through the balers, all three models, the 265, 275 and 275 Plus, use New Holland’s rotary feeding system. And a 14- by 18-inch bale case is standard on all three as well.
The 265 gets a five-bar pickup. That changes to a six-bar version on the 275. Both models get a two-way “hydraformatic” bale tensioner. The 275 Plus, which is intended for producers or custom operators who put through a lot of hay in a season, uses a four-way hydra-formatic tensioner for firmer bales, which can be easily handled by a bale wagon without breaking. For added reliability, it also gets a bale case that is stiffer and 12 inches longer, as well as hardened plunger rails.
