2025 CLAAS Rollant Series 540 RC

High forage yield is essential for a good operating result. That is why CLAAS has developed a new fixed-chamber baler with a 48" x 49" (1.22 x 1.25 m) bale size.

The CLAAS ROLLANT is the world’s top-selling fixed chamber baler. CLAAS engineers continually enhance its proven, robust fixed-chamber concept. The ROLLANT 540 features the latest generation of rollers, with 15 reinforced rollers, 2" (50 mm) drive stubs and extra-robust ball bearings for perfectly formed silage bales and optimum crop flow.

Features may include:

• A good attacking forward takes every opportunity.

• 83" (2.1 m) working width

• Controlled pick-up for optimum crop flow

• Higher performance with forward-mounted roller crop press or double roller crop press

• Better bale shape thanks to generously dimensioned intake augers

The ROLLANT 540 has a pick-up working width of 83" (2.1 m) with 140 rpm for the best crop flow. This means the pick-up can handle even the widest swaths with no crop soiling problems. The short crop guard guides the crop safely to the rotor, even in small and uneven swaths. The spring steel tines are flexible, which means they can be used even in the toughest conditions. The spring steel tines in the pick-up are closely spaced, ensuring that the field is raked clean. Another feature is the pick-up's location, which is well forward on the baler, giving the rider maximum visibility from the tractor seat. This makes it easier to adapt the speed to the swath size and thus monitor and control the crop flow. The result is that blockages are prevented!

Got a tough job? Let's do it! The ROLLANT's heavy-duty drive concept makes these machines ideal for tough working conditions in silage. This is because of the 0.3" (8 mm) thick, four-star dual tines, the ultra-robust individual blade protection, and the very robust knife bracket. Cutting quality, therefore, remains excellent even in silage.

• ROTO CUT 0.3" (8 mm) tine stars

• Reinforced individual knife protection

• Reinforced Tsubaki chains (main drive and rotor drive)

• Standard or HD knives

• 1.7" or 2.75" (44 mm or 70 mm) length of cut

• Three-roller segment with two large, adjustable springs

• Excellent value for money for denser bales

• Softer or harder bales as needed

• Perfect bale shape even in difficult conditions

The ROLLANT was developed based on the 15-roller fixed chamber concept. Supported by high-performance hydraulics, the reinforced rollers ensure the perfect bale shape and high bale density for first-rate forage quality.

Crops need to be compacted quickly into high-density bales for quality forage. In the ROLLANT, this happens with highly robust steel rollers with profile webs that ensure an active crop feed. As a result, the crop is pressed into firm, round bales with excellent shape retention even in damp conditions. All bearings and drive shafts are designed for this baler’s high power and throughput.

The locking mechanism via a hydraulic ram enables the tailgate to adjust to 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 process is neither slowed down nor inhibited in any way.
