Heavy Duty drive system.
Key requirements for harvesting – perfectly coordinated resources.
- Heavy Duty chopping system (knife and knife guard)
- Heavy Duty main transmission, running at 1,000 rpm
- Heavy Duty rotor
- Tsubaki Heavy Duty drive chains
How much Heavy Duty you need is your decision.
The key success factors for bale silage are high compression, reliable operation, outstanding cutting quality and a user-friendly machine. The extensive CLAAS range of balers has the right machine for every farmer or contractor, from the ROLLANT 340 entry-level model to the 454 UNIWRAP, which can handle any baling task – and of course much more besides.
CLAAS Heavy Duty: When the going gets tough.
Balers in the ROLLANT 400 and 300 range come equipped with the Heavy Duty drive line: the main transmission, drive chains and cutting system, including knives and knife guards, are designed for the toughest conditions and heaviest loads.
The 400 series models have 30% more main transmission torque. That means more power, which is critical for difficult crop materials like moist or wet silage. Heavy Duty means what it says: the rotor is made of solid 8.00-mm boron steel, double-hardened. There are four rows of tines for optimum forage pick-up. Yet the power requirement is relatively low, thanks to the helically arranged dual tines. A sturdy frame provides all-round protection. The rollers are even stronger than before, with a large stub axle. Eight welded bracing elements ensure maximum strength. All heavy-duty components have been developed for high reliability and long service life, regardless of how much you expect of your new ROLLANT in everyday operation. This is clearly reflected in the large chain dimensions:- Tsubaki Heavy Duty rotor chains- Heavy Duty main drive chain- Heavy Duty tailgate chain
- Gunnar/Max Kortum, of Kortum contractors, on the Heavy Duty drive concept
"This is one tough baler – the whole chassis, including the wrapper, and all the chains and rollers have been built extra-strong, and the chopping performance is superb!“
