Harvest Times Spring 2014
pdf[...] cut silage, yielding on average
3.41 tonnes dry weight/hectare with an average DM of 31.3%.
The chop length on the forager was set at 22mm and the
accelerator at 4.0mm, the JAGUAR was operated using
CRUISE PILOT to maintain a consistent speed.
By using DYNAMIC POWER, overall fuel consumption was
reduced by 12.3% whilst Ad Blue consumption remained at
about 5.0% but the hourly throughput dropped by less than a
trailer load.
DYNAMIC POWER [...]
[...] , hardened steel blades mounted on a
rotor that rotates at 125rpm to achieve 8000 chops a
minute, giving a theoretical chop length of 70mm to ensure
optimum silage quality and density.
To allow the operator to safely push the baler to its
maximum capacity without the risk of a blockage, the new
ROLLANT Pro models incorporate a drop floor below the
chamber. Sensors determine when a blockage is starting to
form, allowing the operator to ease back, and in the event
of a blockage the floor can be lowered via [...]
[...] with the optimised speed of the PFS and the
rotor, ensure increased throughput even under difficult
harvest conditions.

New pivoting cutting unit with drawer
A new feature on both the QUADRANT 3200 RC / FC and
the QUADRANT 3300 RC is the Knife Drawer which
provides easy access to the chopping blades. The knife
drawer is opened either using the COMMUNICATOR II or
buttons on the side of the baler. Running on 12 bearings to
prevent it twisting, the drawer slides out to two-thirds of its
length to one side [...]
New high capacity QUADRANT baler range CLAAS group
[...] the ROTO FEED or the 25-knife ROTO CUT system. On the QUADRANT 5300/5200, where even shorter chop lengths are required, these can be specified with either the FINE CUT rotor, where up to 51 blades can be engaged, or the SPECIAL CUT unit, which has 90 knives.
All three models feature a pre-chamber ahead of the main chamber. On the QUADRANT 4200, the packing tines operate on a three phase cycle, driven by an oil-immersed gearbox and clutch drive system with automatic overload protection. On the QUADRANT 5300/5200 [...]
