The Rollant 340 now features the RotoCut cutting system

Until now, the Claas Rollant 340 fixed-chamber baler was offered with a feeder and a "Roto Feed" feed rotor.
It can now be fitted with the "Claas Roto Cut (RC)" cutting system, previously reserved in this range for the "Rollant 350 RC" model.

Equipped with a pick-up with a working width of 2,10 m, the Claas "Rollant 340" baler produces round bales of 1,25 x 1,20 m held together by net and/or twine wrapping.

In its new "Roto Cut" version, the Rollant 340 extends its range of applications.

Proven over a long period, the "Roto Cut" cutting system makes it possible, according to Claas, to press bales "of maximum density and optimum cutting quality".

It operates at a rate of more than 7 000 cuts per minute. It uses double four-tine stars that convey the crop to the 14 knives spaced 70 mm apart.

The regular packets of grass would thus gradually fill the baling chamber to form bales of consistently uniform density, resulting in "excellent-quality silage and bales that can be easily distributed".

The 14 individually protected knives of the cutting rotor are mounted on pre-tensioned springs so that they retract more readily when foreign objects pass through.

Blockages can be cleared quickly and easily from the tractor cab using the "Roto Reverse" system (optional), Claas's hydraulically controlled rotor reversing system.

The Rollant 340 RC could thus be operated continuously at its full capacity.
