Claas has just hit a milestone with its popular mower ranges
Claas build its mower ranges at the Bad Saulgau production site in Germany
The celebratory milestone machine was a Disco 3200 FC front mower
starting out initially with a working width of 2.60m
Claas then responded to the growing demands for large-scale mowers
unveiling its first Disco butterfly mower in 1999
Claas impressed with the Cougar self-propelled mower with a working width of 14.0m – the widest and most powerful mower on the market at the time
the vertical 90° transport folding previously used in rear mowers was superseded by the 120° transport position with the centre of gravity shifted inwards
Claas have moved to diagonal vector folding for working widths of 4.20m
extended in 2021 to the DISCO 1010 with working widths of up to 9.9m
The Safety Link module with shear bolts and the angled pivot point on the arms were both introduced in 2002 to protect the mower bed and arms from damage on contact with obstacles
The current Claas Disco product range comprises of almost 40 different models with working widths from 2.20m to 10.70m
Claas added the option of auto swather grouping with cross conveyors to its larger mowers
it added a roller conditioner for highly productive biomass crops
Claas’s own Max Cut mower bed has been standard equipment on all Claas mowers

Although the global machinery market has slowed over the past 12 months
it’s not all doom and gloom as it tends to be when manufacturers get the opportunity to knuckle down and focus on R&D
Claas has done exactly this as well as take the opportunity to restructure and expand a number of its manufacturing facilities
ForageGo is one such project that is ongoing at the group’s centre of excellence for forage harvesting
located in South Germany within the heart of the grassland region
Claas will have spent over €50m at the 180,000m2 facility which is today responsible for the production of the Disco mower range
Liner rakes as well as Jaguar crop flow components
Previously responsible for the production of the Cargos forage wagon range
the additional production capacity on site has been consumed by Liner rake production
A new 9,500m2 logistics centre is also currently under construction
One of the first phases of ForageGo was to modernise production of the Volto tedder range and Jaguar crop flow by transferring assembly to a new hall on site
Claas’ logistics partner has also committed to significant investment within Bad Saulgau
Claas has just launched a number of updates to its grass-line
Claas has revamped its Disco lineup of rear combination mowers
to now offer a total of 15 different configurations with working widths from 8.3m to 10.7m
with either steel tine (C) or roller conditioners (RC)
1100 Comfort non-conditioner and the 9300 Direct Swather and 9300 C Autoswather
As part of the new generation of Claas mowers
all are fitted with dark grey canopies as opposed to the traditional white colour
All the proven Claas features such as its low-speed drive concept (850rpm) and Active Float cab actuated ground pressure adjustment system remains common across the newcomers
fitted to all new models is a Hardox reinforced conditioner plate for better resistance against stone chips
The Disco 8500 Trend entry level rear butterfly mower combination is available with either a steel tine (C) or (RC) roller conditioner option
This basic 8.3m combination has been designed to have a low overall weight for use with mid-frame tractors from 160hp
the Disco 8500 is operated via two spool valves with pre-selection on the Cemis 10 control terminal and is manually protected using a mechanical breakback protection system
Roller conditioner models can also now be optioned with a double roller drive
an option first introduced on the Disco 9700 RC in 2023
The Disco 8500 Trend range is a no frills butterfly combination for tractors from 160hp
With the influx of wholecrop cereals and delicate forage legumes such as clover which are not best suited to steel tine conditioners due to head loss and crop damage
Claas becomes the latest manufacturer to offer a non-conditioner mower combination with a grouping option
The Disco 9300 Direct Swather (DS) model uses an auger system to conveyor the crop into a central swath
Crop can also be laid out behind just one or both mower beds for a full spreading width by just raising the rear hoods
Claas has chosen a tapered auger whereby the flights double in height between the outer and inside ends of each bed
This is to accommodate the volume of forage accumulated across the width of each mower bed
A shear bar type design at the auger outlet is designed to prevent blockages
Each auger is driven from the outer end which sees the drive shaft on each mower pass through the central pivot support arm to a belt and pulley drive which powers the auger
The 9.1m Disco 9300 DS has a 180hp plus power requirement and can be operated via Isobus
Replacing the popular Disco 9200 are the new 9300 models which now feature a number of new features and updates
For die-hard conditioner users still requiring belt mergers
Claas has introduced the 9300 C Auto Swather (AS)
The Disco 9300 C Auto Swather has gained a number of updates including an automatic side shifting fucntion
this new 9.1m combination benefits from the high level of specification previously only offered on the side shifting 9700C AS
an automatic side shifting function can now seamlessly adjust working width/overlap as well as automatic slope control which regulates individual belt speed and ground pressure when working on slopes to ensure optimum swath formation while minimising drift
The Auto Swather units have also been upgraded
lower overall weight and four lower supports for improved stability in heavy crops
Their centre of gravity has also been improved when folded out of use
Revised linkage geometry and a new stand design improves the attachment and removal of the unit
A suite of Isobus comfort functions and user aids such as slope control have been integrated
The new 10.7m Disco 1100 non-conditoner model
Claas has also introduced a non-conditioner version of its Disco 1100 for certain markets
The new 1100 has a telescopic width adjustment from 9.6m to 10.8m
Until now the Claas portfolio of tedders topped out at 13m
This now expands to 15m following the addition of four new Up Up until now the Claas portfolio of tedders topped out at 13m
This now expands to 15m following the addition of four new trailed models across two working widths
the new 1300 T 13m and 1500 T 15m are available with or without a steering axle option (TS)
The unique self-steering chassis is only designed to engage while turning in working position on the headland
the steering system automatically aligns to the direction of travel
Both models feature a new frame and chassis which have been designed to keep the centre of gravity close to the axle for maximum strength and the accommodation of tyre sizes up to 500/ 55 R20
Claas remains using its 1.5m rotors of which there are 14 in total on the flagship 1500 T/TS model and 12 on the 1300 T/TS
The Volto 1500 TS trailed 15m tedder is the largest tedder built by Claas to date
Claas continues to use its Max Spread crop flow system which sees each rotor fitted with six tines equally angled at 29.3 degrees
The spreading angle can be adjusted from 12 to 16 degrees without the need for tools
Central height adjustment is done via a crank handle on the left of the chassis
The rotor frame features double hinged arms for optimum ground following
A single acting spool controls the lift ram while a double acting ram is used to operate the folding of the rotor frame
the optional border kit requires an additional single acting service
Claas presented its new Rollant 630 RC Uniwrap fixed chamber combination baler wrapper at the event
Dubbed as a replacement for the current 400 series
the 630 benefits from a number of modifications throughout resulting in improved performance
Having put a pre series machine through its paces in the UK for some time now
Claas believes its latest offering will be a confident contender on the Irish and UK market
The 2.1m pickup features an updated cam track design and durable plastic tine bands
The Roto Cut main rotor features 8mm double tines made from double-hardened boron steel
Four rows of tines feed the crop into the chopping unit
The knife bank can accommodate up to 25 knives capable of a theoretical chop length of 44mm
The dual bank allows knives to be engaged in groups of 25
The Pro cutting floor can be lowered up to 30mm to allow blockages to pass through
An optional early warning system is available to alert the operator as to the pickup’s load capacity
The Rollant 630 RC Uniwrap features a stronger chassis and sees improvements made to its chamber and wrapping unit
Inside the 1.25m x 1.20m bale chamber are 16 ribbed steel rollers which now benefit from heavier 55mm drive shafts
The rear tailgate mounting is also now more robust
The tipping cradle has been beefed up and now offers a faster transfer cycle than before
Although believed to be standard UK and Irish spec
an option Claas continues to offer is its Maximum Pressure System Plus (MPS)
A pivoting three-roller segment in the tailgate delivers extra pressure for more dense bales
these rollers pivot into the chamber to start the compaction cycle early on
causing the bale to rotate at a 90cm diameter
The MPS pressure setting can be adjusted from the cab
the option is there for net or film binding
With a high speed drive up to 36rpm and an improved hydraulic brake
the wrapping process too has been shortened
Claas claims it can wrap six layers of film with a 52% overlap in just 23 seconds
Pre-stretch in the two wrap film dispensers can be adjusted to 67 or 82%
The Rollant 630 RC Uniwrap can be operated via the Cemis 700 terminal or via Isobus
a Cemis 100 terminal is provided at the rear of the machine to operate wrapper related functions at ground level
The Cemis 100 terminal at the rear of the machine allows all wrapepr functions to be controlled at ground level
