An agricultural press for forming round bales includes a plurality of rollers defining a pressing chamber, which are rotatably mounted partially on a load-bearing structure and partially on a structure that is articulated to the load-bearing structure and can be displaced into a raised position for unloading a round bale from the pressing chamber. The rollers are driven by electric motors, which, may be contained within the rollers or are of the type with hollow shaft, for receiving within them an end pin of the respective roller. The load-bearing structure and the structure articulated to the load-bearing structure are in the form of structures of the space-frame type with main lateral structures made of metal, preferably aluminium, obtained by casting.
