I have been very impressed with the ROLLANT and fair play to it, it really does make a good dense bale. Between what I do for my own suckler cattle and sheep and some contract work I now only do about 3,500 bales a year. So I don’t need anything fancy and in that respect the ROLLANT 520 is ideal. My last three balers have had chopping systems and drop floors, but after a few years the customers who want their bales chopped often say not to bother, and chopping does use more fuel, so it’s good to go back to a straightforward baler.

Setting the baler up using the (OPERATOR) terminal is very easy and I particularly like the fact that it counts every bale that’s wrapped, even if you manually trip the wrapping, which my old baler didn’t. It’s well designed, the flow into the baler is very good and I like the fact that all the roller bearings are in flanges, so easily replaceable - not that I am expecting to have to do that for quite a while!

The ROLLANT produces a well filled, solid bale. I can’t fault it, have got on well with it and been extremely pleased with what it does. I look forward to doing the next 30,000 bales with it, and if it does that then it will have done all right.
