Bale chamber

With a belt speed of 3.00 m/sec, the VARIANT turns faster and compresses more densely than any other baler. The intake area of the machine can easily be seen from the cab. You can match the working speed perfectly to the crop conditions and always stay close to the output limit, whatever the conditions.

The VARIANT features a specially developed hydraulic bale density control system designed to produce maximum bale density in all conditions. The active hydraulic system combines three hydraulic cylinders with a dual tensioning arm system.

The continuously adjustable soft core device is another unique feature from CLAAS. It means you can comfortably select the soft core diameter and determine the baling pressure of the core from the cab. Dry straw is baled with a rock-hard core. When the crop is moist, you can reduce the baling pressure to enable the bales to break up better.

With the handy CLAAS MEDIUM TERMINAL (CMT), you'll quickly be able to manage all important functions and keep your baling tasks fully under control from the comfort of the cab. Baling pressure, bale size and the left/right display are conveniently arranged within the driver's field of vision. Moreover, thanks to the pressure release function, you can rapidly clear any blockages that may occur, without leaving the cab.
