| Pickup |
 |
Even when the swaths are irregular or extra wide, the 71” clearing width leaves nothing on the field. The wide pick-up is equipped with lateral stub augers to channel the crop to the width of the baling chamber. The bale edges are extra hard and this keeps them in shape when they are stored. |
| Feeding System |
 |
The crop flows quickly into the baling chamber.
Packer tines are located behind the pick-up. These packer tines actively pull the crop to the rear and push it into the baling chamber. This continuous crop feed makes a considerable contribution to a high throughput speed. |
| Baling Chamber |
 |
Extra strength for dense bales - Dense bale compaction depends on rugged design. The steel rollers in the ROLLANT baling chamber have large diameter double welded stub shafts on each side and additional reinforcement plates inside the roller to keep the rollers stable in heavy duty applications.
Ease of operation -
The tailgate is opened and closed from the driver’s seat with a double acting control valve. A check valve prevents the tailgate from closing when inspection or service is being carried out. An easy to read gauge shows the pressure during the baling operation.
Time saving - The discharge ramp ensures that the bale always rolls back far enough to enable you to close the tailgate. There’s no need to back up before discharging the bale. Good news for drivers and tractors alike. |
| Tying |
 |
Twine or net - Twine or net is not the question as far as the ROLLANT 260 is concerned. This baler can be equipped with either or both. Farm contractors often order both systems to be sure of always meeting the customer’s requirements. There is no need to back up before wrapping and discharging the bale on the ROLLANT 260. The tailgate pulls the bale out of the chamber where it can roll back far enough for you to close the tailgate.
Modern net wrapping - The ROLLATEX net wrapping is designed to save time. The bale is wrapped in around ten seconds. The bale is wrapped very tight, stays in shape and is better protected from the weather.
Classic twine wrapping -
You can chose between a manual and an automatic twine start. The automatic system starts the process when the final pressure is reached and the driver is then informed by a buzzer and warning lamp. It takes around twenty seconds to wrap the bale with the dual twine wrapping system. |
 |
| Drives - Robust drives for heavy-duty, continuous operation without stress. |
 |
All of the rollers on the ROLLANT 260 are driven rollers. The 1”1/4 drive chains take continuously high baling pressures in their stride. The rollers fitted in the tailgate are less heavily loaded so the 1” chains used here are more than adequate. The correct chain tension is maintained using self centering, spring loaded chain tensioners. |
 |
Robust drive
The tractor’s transmission is relieved of stress thanks to the freewheeling wide angle drive shaft. A shear bolt in the drive line protects against damage due to overloading. |
 |
Full time lubrication
The drive chains are automatically lubricated. This feature, along with the automatic chain tensioning, cuts wear and tear to a minimum and reduces maintenance requirements. In addition, biodegradable oils can now be used for environmental protection. |
 |
Pick-up drive with overrun function
The pick-up features a shear-bolt overload protection. This provides effective protection for the baler and prevents tines from bending while reversing. |
| Operation |
 |
Flexible reactions, comfortable operation.
with the CLAAS Standard Terminal
With the new CLAAS Standard Terminal, you can use onetouch buttons to control basic functions from the comfort of the driver's seat.
Select the type of tying, whether netting or twine, and set the automatic tying start function individually. You also have the option of, for example, manually interrupting or activating the tying cycle for remaining swath. |
