Wrapping and tying

CLAAS balers would be inconceivable without the legendary CLAAS knotter. The individual knotter was the first CLAAS patented product, and in 1921 was awarded a DLG medal. Today, CLAAS remains the only agricultural machinery manufacturer worldwide to develop and manufacture its own knotters. Expertise and quality from one source – CLAAS.

Significantly higher bale weights can be achieved with six knotter units. CLAAS high-performance knotters always tie super-tight, perfectly positioned knots, while ensuring maximum bale density and highest throughput. A further benefit: the knotters do not produce dangerous twine residues that can cause animal fatalities during feeding or leave residues when the bales are burned for power generation.

CLAAS baling twine is specifically designed for use with the CLAAS knotter. It resists breakage under load, and is so smooth that knotter wear is reduced to a minimum. CLAAS baling twine is a cost-effective choice for the right balance between high knot tightness and efficient running length.
A total supply of 24 twine reels can be carried on the machine – enough for a long working day.

The TURBO FAN system cleans the knotter with a powerful and constant 140-km/h airflow from two turbines.
