Drives

The design of the QUADRANT 1150 is extremely straightforward.  Each and every detail has been clearly designed and laid out for ease of access and good serviceability. This means you never waste any valuable working time on baling or troublesome service and maintenance work. The robust central gear drive distributes the intake power to the individual components.  65 powerful ram strokes per minute compact the bales thoroughly and produce top results in every crop type. Power peaks in the baling process are bridged by the heavyweight flywheel behind the main drive, so the drive is smooth and free of jerks. This design contributes to outstanding reliability and more bales per hour.

CLAAS has built-in safety devices to make sure that the baler works in a trouble-free manner. The packer tines, needles and knotters are shaft driven, providing safe maximum power and performance. The baler is protected against overloading which could occur if a foreign object gets picked up with the crop. The ram is also protected against excess loading with a power interrupt clutch. Shear bolts are a thing of the past with CLAAS machinery. The overload clutches all re-engage automatically once the PTO speed has been run down. If there’s a malfunction, there’s no need to get off the tractor to fix it.
