Perfectly coordinated –
forage harvesting from CLAAS.
For daily agricultural operations, you need more than just
robust machinery; you need technology that works and is
quite simply a pleasure to work with – reliable technology that
works in unison when the going gets tough and when there
seems to be no end in sight. And, what's more, you need
harvesting systems that piece together seamlessly.
As a leading equipment manufacturer of forage harvesting
machinery, CLAAS provides the ideal harvesting chain for any
farm or business size. Our coordinated machines support you
in your day-to-day operations and enable you to achieve
optimal results in forage harvesting.

Technical details
The CLAAS long-running cam track.
High performance under all conditions – its spheroidal
graphite iron construction gives the cam track the strength
required to withstand any load. The large diameter and the
gentle rise of the cam track ensure that the thrust forces from
the turning momentum are minimised. As a result, the tine
arms operate smoothly, giving a clean raking action without
material fatigue, even during periods of prolonged use.
Sturdy tine arms.

can be quickly and inexpensively replaced.
Depending on the model and the size of the tine arms, these
feature two or three support points. The slide bearings on the
tine arms are extra-large and wear-resistant.
The more economical version.
Low-friction transmission: some of the smaller models are
equipped with a simpler rotor housing. But even here, the
steel cam rollers run in an oil bath for continuous lubrication,
while the cast housing is hermetically sealed and
maintenance-free. The tine arms also fit snugly with a lemon
profile.
If a collision occurs, the tine arms snap off at a set
bending point, preventing any serious damage.
The long-lasting cam tracks made of spheroidal
graphite ensure maximum operating reliability under
all conditions.
In the low-friction transmission, the cam rollers

Safe transportation under 4.00 metres.
All models with a rotor diameter of up to 3.80 metres have a
transport height of less than 4.00 metres, without removing
the tine arms. With the four- and dual-rotor swathers, the
rotors are retracted hydraulically from the tractor after folding
via a double-acting spool valve, and then secured for
transport with a mechanical or hydraulic locking mechanism.

Both the working height and the raking width can be

the working height and adjust it as required.

CLAAS terminals.
Everything under control.
The short harvest periods available for silage preparation call
for very high-performance harvesting technology. Needless to
say, one element of this technology is ensuring that operation
is intuitive and reduces the driver's workload. In models that
require a terminal, there is a choice between the CLAAS
STANDARD TERMINAL (CST), the new CLAAS OPERATOR or
the ISOBUS-capable COMMUNICATOR II. The ISOBUScapable machines can also be controlled from any external or
tractor-mounted ISOBUS terminal. With the mobile S10

steering systems.

One for all.
The LINER single-rotor swathers are specially
developed for farmers who prefer to handle their
forage harvesting independently, and who often work
in smaller fields. The working widths of 3.50 to 5.20
metres are ideal for these situations. Whether with
three-point hitching or as a towed model, the key
features of the LINER single-rotor swathers are precise
ground-contour following, high work rates and
excellent reliability.
