Feeder system

The CLAAS ROTO CUT system is synonymous with top rate silage quality. Properly chopped silage can be packed more densely in the bale, enhancing lactic acid fermentation.

The 16-blade cutting rotor is geared for maximum throughput. The crop is fed accurately over the knife bed by the helical rotor blades, reaching a cutting frequency of over 8000 chops per minute, creating precision chopping and maximum throughput. The CLAAS stripper design keeps the area between and inside the tine blades clean and thus ensures maximum operating reliability in all grass harvesting conditions.

The reverser is powered hydraulically and comes into its own in non-stop operation at the output limit. If a blockage occurs, the driver can quickly reverse the rotor from the cab and clear the obstruction. The stripper is protected by a lock that reverses in 90° steps.
