With a 2.10-m working width, plus speeds of 140 rpm for 400 models and 125 rpm for 300 models, these pick-ups can handle the widest swaths with no soiling of the crop. The short crop guard keeps the crop flowing reliably to the rotor, even in small and irregular swaths. The flexibility of the spring steel tines enables them to cope with even the toughest operating conditions. The tines are closely spaced, leaving a cleanly raked field behind. Even at high work rates and in curves, the controlled pick-up adapts to all ground contours. Large oscillating gauge wheels, with tool-free adjustment, keep you on track at all times.
Another feature is the pick-up's location well forward on the baler, maximising the driver's visibility from the tractor seat. This makes it easier to adapt the speed to the swath size, and thus monitor the crop flow and prevent blockages from occurring.
The front double-roller crop press compacts the crop, accelerates the crop flow and actively conveys it to the rotor. It also ensures that the bale chamber is filled evenly, thus creating perfectly round bales. The short distance between the pick-up and rotor ensures the smooth transport of the crop. The combination of lateral stub augers and roller crop press makes the work easier, particularly when working in uneven silage swaths.
To prepare the way, large stub augers adjust the crop to the bale chamber width. This keeps the bales firm around the edges, and makes them more robust. They can withstand rough handling better, and do not lose their shape during transport or over long storage periods.

The ROLLANT has a solidly built heavy-duty high-performance chopping rotor made from double-hardened boron steel, with helically arranged double tines. The individual knife protection device provides effective protection, ensuring consistent cutting quality and boosting knife service life. Optional tungsten carbide coated knives are available on request.
The 25-knife chopping rotor works quickly, precisely and efficiently with the four-star, 8.00-mm-thick tines, arranged in pairs. The result is perfect forage quality, because the crop is cut short and precisely into small portions that compact densely but are also easy to break-up for feeding. ROTO CUT allows chopping lengths of 44 mm, with outstanding quality. Thanks to the high rotation speed, work rates of more than 13,800 cuts/min can be achieved. The easily operated hydraulic knife group selection process provides the correct setting for any crop and situation. You have a choice of 25, 13, 12 or 0 knives, without having to leave the cab.
The whole cutter bar can be raised and lowered hydraulically from the driver’s seat. When the baling chamber is opened, the blades can be easily installed and removed from above.
Baling is hard work, and speed is of the essence. That means high daily throughput rates, and intelligent systems to help the driver get the job done. These include a floor-lowering function, for active adaptation to the crop flow. Automatic lowering by up to 30 mm allows the continuous intake even of irregular swaths, with no impact on cutting quality.
The movement of the floor is indicated on the control terminal as visual and acoustic signals via a sensor. This means you can register the threat of blockages in time, and react accordingly – from the comfort of the cab. You can use the baler to its full capacity while avoiding downtime due to blockages.
Any blockages that do occur can be easily and quickly cleared using the operator terminal, without having to leave the cab. The lowerable floor opens up, and the rotor sweeps the blockage material straight into the bale chamber. In machines with a chopping rotor, the knife pressure is shut off with a pushbutton control before the opening movement of the lowerable floor. When it closes again, the knives swing back in automatically.
