Pick-up

With its wide pick-up, the QUADRANT can easily cope with very wide and irregular swaths.

The POWER FEEDING SYSTEM feeds the crop to the rotor of the QUADRANT even faster. The rotor acquires the crop, accelerates it once again and then transfers it to the packer tines. This guarantees an improved, homogenised crop flow and a significantly higher baling capacity. CLAAS also uses the proven ROTO FEED rotor on machines without cutterbar.

The crop is gathered quickly and cleanly. The accumulator suspension means the pick-up travels evenly over the ground. The large-sized castor guide wheels keep you safely on track. Both together ensure optimum ground following and preservation of the grass cover even at high working speeds and in turns.

The Krassort SPECIAL CUT straw chopper is an integral part of the QUADRANT 3200 crop flow concept. Nine rows of knives chop the crop at 3,030 rpm to an especially short length in a fuel-efficient pull-through action. The 90 spirally arranged chopper blades with two-stage pivoting shear bars each equipped with 45 knives work to a theoretical chop length of 15 mm. In conjunction with the unique PFS of the QUADRANT, the material is actively conveyed and dust accumulation reduced.
