What the Rollant 455 is used for
The Rollant 455 suits farms making silage and hay, particularly where a dependable fixed-size bale works with existing handling and storage equipment. Its 2.1 m pickup gathers the swath, while the chamber produces bales 1.25 m in diameter and 1.2 m wide.
A standard baler may suit operations using a separate wrapper. The UNIWRAP version appeals to those wanting an integrated baler-wrapper, while ROTO CUT options suit users seeking a chopped crop for their forage system.
Why the Claas Rollant 455 stands out
The Rollant 455 offers a consistent fixed-chamber bale and a choice of conventional, ROTO CUT and UNIWRAP formats. UNIWRAP adds integrated film wrapping, giving a compact silage solution for suitable operations. About 70 hp is the minimum for the baler, with more required for the UNIWRAP combination. Establish the exact specification before purchase.
Buying a used Claas Rollant 455
As the Rollant 455 has no engine, examine the PTO driveline, gearbox, rollers, pickup and hydraulic system rather than engine smoke or oil pressure. Check tying parts, ROTO CUT equipment where fitted, and the UNIWRAP transfer and wrapping mechanism where applicable. Look for leaks, bearing wear, corrosion and poor tinwork repairs. Confirm the serial number and original specification. Have it inspected, confirm figures and originality against TractorData.com and club records, and check current listings rather than a fixed price, as values vary by condition.
