Mowing Technology

The tunnel effect produced by an indentation on the underside of the cutterbar causes dirt firstly to empty out directly, and secondly, to be thoroughly brushed away from the cutterbar by the stationary stubble. No clumps of dirt are left behind, nor does mowing produce a striped effect – the cut is perfect.

Smooth running, low-wear power transmission and a long lifecycle thanks to:

With our unique SAFETYLINK safety module also featured on the P-CUT cutterbar head, safety for both man and machine remains a priority for us.

With the knife changing system, CLAAS provides an effective combination of sophisticated technology and convenient handling. Easy blade change: the fixing lever is placed around the blade bolt, the leaf spring pushed downward and the old blade swapped for a new one. The blade can only be changed if the blade attachment is directly above the cavity. This prevents the blade from coming free by mistake. The leaf spring pushes the blade bolt from below firmly into the disc. A 7 mm overlap and the mushroom-shape of the blade bolt keep the blade firmly in place, even in the toughest of conditions.

The active hydropneumatic load removal ACTIVE FLOAT PLUS makes the driving of all mowing units on a regular basis possible with the lowest possible bearing pressure and simultaneously excellent ground adjustment, thus catering for optimal cutting quality and turf protection.

The mowers on the outrigger mowing unit are equipped with hydraulic break back protection. When driving over an obstacle the mowers can be deflected to the rear. Simply press the appropriate button on the multifunction lever to return the mowers into their original position and off you go.

Intelligent hydraulic control elements have to be used to make a machine of this dimension resistant against performance losses and failures. The CVU CLAAS Valve Unit consists of two lines - one pressure line and one fuel line. It is controlled electronically and is fully integrated into the mower's management system. By assuming some of the control functions for three additional connections, the unit can transfer more power than conventional hydraulics systems.

The mowers on both outrigger mowing units  are identical in terms of their construction. This permits the use of identical spare parts for both mowers, which greatly simplifies spare parts procurement and storage.

A reliable conditioner and the crop spreader help you utilise the short harvesting time to maximum effect.

The forage is conditioned across the entire working width and laid in a loose, fluffy swath for drying, making perfect 24-hour silage a success.
