Excellent value for money.

Fully equipped with the components from its big brother, the ROLLANT 340 is equally powerful, yet with lower power requirements. It produces uniformly firm hay and straw bales with excellent qualities.

Technology

12

Top performance from day one.

Extra-width pick-up.

Both the ROLLANT ROTO CUT and ROTO FEED models come with the widest pick-up on the round baler market as standard. With a width of 2.10 metres, the ROLLANT pick-up ensures precise following of ground contours and thorough raking.

Clean field clearance.

Irregular and extra-wide swaths are cleanly raked up by the 1.90-metre pick-up. The tine spacing on the heavy-duty pick-up has been carefully selected for thorough clearance of short crops.

Fixed edges.

Large stub augers on either side feed the crop to the intake, giving extra bale density around the edges. This in turn improves bale stability, and the bales withstand rough handling better, but do not lose their shape during transport or over long storage periods.

Good visibility.

The pick-up is located well forward on the baler, maximising the driver’s visibility from the cab. This makes it easier to monitor the crop flow and prevents blockages occurring.

The name says it all.

ROTO CUT – the 70-mm fine cut.

The ROTO CUT system runs at over 7,000 chops per minute. Four rows of tines gather in the crop evenly through the 14 individually secured knives. The crop is guided over the centre of the blades and chopped exactly. A special system of strippers keeps the rotor clean throughout the operation. The precise angle of the feed tines prevents crushing of the crop as it passes through. The uniform chopped slices improve silage quality and enable easy distribution both in silage preparation and later in the feed mixer.

More functional safety.

The 14 individually secured blades are spring-loaded to give way when a foreign object passes through. The unaffected knives continue to produce a clean and reliable cut, guaranteeing a perfect forage quality.

High-speed blade removal.

When the baling chamber is opened, the blades can be easily installed and removed from above.

ROTO REVERSE – the built-in reversing unit.

The reverser is powered hydraulically and comes into its own in non-stop operation at the limit of its power range. Using the CLAAS ROTO REVERSE reversing unit, you can clear blockages in the intake area in seconds from the comfort of the tractor seat.

ROTO FEED – top performance without chopping.

If you don't need to chop the crop, and want large bale weights and high performance, the ROTO FEED ensures a smooth crop flow from the pick-up into the baling chamber.

Feed rake – high forage quality without chopping.

The ROLLANT 340 is ideally suited for farmers who definitely do not want to chop the crop, and who place an emphasis on gentle forage handling. The feed rake pulls the crop continuously from the pick-up and actively feeds it into the baling chamber, ensuring a high throughput.

The professional’s choice.

Outstanding technology.

Robust, reliable, enduring design features for high performance and dense bales – these are the hallmarks of the CLAAS ROLLANT round balers. The 16 extra-strength steel rollers with profiled surfaces speed up the crop flow and compress the harvested crop into firm, stable bales, ensuring reliable bale rotation, even in very dry harvesting conditions. The new rugged bale rollers installed at the high-load locations within the bale chamber ensure maximum operating reliability in all harvesting conditions. ROLLANT technology – the right choice for a smooth harvest.

MAXIMUM PRESSURE SYSTEM – for rock-hard bales.

This swivel-mounted three-roller segment in the ROLLANT tailgate provides the additional pressure. The steel-roller baling chamber with the unique MPS guarantees rock-hard bales and high core compaction. At the start of every bale, the three MPS rollers extend into the baling chamber. As the chamber fills up, pushing hard against the heavy-duty springs, the rollers are pressed upwards into their final position as the bale expands. The smaller initial chamber size starts the bale turning much sooner, compressing the bale from the core outwards.

Bale chamber | MAXIMUM PRESSURE SYSTEM II

A reliable principle that CLAAS has followed for decades. The tailgate is locked hydraulically and constantly monitored by the pressure gauge.

High operational reliability.All the ROLLANT balers feature heavy-duty drive chains that are automatically lubricated each time the tailgate is closed.

Variable bale density in the ROLLANT 340.The right bale density for different crops is set independently by adjusting the hand wheel.

MPS II – for better compaction.

Thanks to the bow-shaped arrangement of the 16 profiled rollers, the bales rotate inside the baling chamber with minimal power consumption. With up to 1.3 tonnes of MPS II pressure for compressing the core and 20 percent more closing pressure (4.8 tonnes) for bale compaction, the ROLLANT delivers perfectly compacted bales. The new MPS II system achieves higher bale density with less tractor power. The result is perfectly formed, highly compacted, easy-to-store round bales every time.

Hydraulic pressure control.

The locking mechanism via the hydraulic rams enables the tailgate to adjust and lightly resonate in line with the rising pressure as the bale size increases. The bale is able to rotate at all times and the baling procedure is not decelerated or inhibited in any way.

Quick open and close.

With the dual-acting hydraulic rams, the tailgate can be opened and closed especially quickly from the tractor seat.

18

Crooked wrapping is a thing of the past.

Top-quality bales deserve nothing less.

Twine or net – ROLLANT gives you the choice. The ROLLATEX net wrapping system saves precious time, since the process is fully automated and takes only a matter of seconds. The fully adjustable net guidance system allows the net to be applied tightly along the entire width of the bale, and firmly binds the edges as well.

Variable number of wraps.

As different crops require different amounts of wrapping, you can set the number of turns over a wide range according to the task at hand.

Economy version.

Twine wrapping is the traditional method used by many farms. Twine is a lower-cost alternative to net.

Plenty in reserve.

Up to 14 rolls of twine can be stored on the ROLLANT – enough wrapping material for a long, successful working day.

Greater operating comfort.

Operate with ease, react flexibly – the CLAAS STANDARD TERMINAL.

In the hectic forage harvesting period, every minute counts. So it's great if you have reliable technology to assist you.

A feature of the CLAAS STANDARD TERMINAL (CST) is that you can operate the basic functions directly from the tractor seat at the touch of a button. Simply select the type of tying – net wrap or twine – and set the automatic tying start function to suit your requirements. You also have the option of initiating the tying operation manually, for example if swath is left over.

A mechanical bale counter on the baler keeps you informed at all times about the machine's output. Four LEDs alert you to faults in the tying mechanism, enabling you to keep your ROLLANT running smoothly at all times.

Even more functions – the OPERATOR.

Changes of driver and changing harvesting conditions are the norm during harvesting periods. With the OPERATOR controlled via the ISOBUS module, you can programme the baler for the harvesting conditions prior to use. Firstly, you can use the CMT to set all the main functions, which you will also find on the CLAAS STANDARD TERMINAL. Secondly, the CMT lets you accurately control all the operations taking place behind the tractor during baling and tying. The terminal also provides you with precise information on the number of bales made per day, the total number of bales and the total time taken.
