Patented wrapping system.
The completely reworked guiding plate provides even more reliable bale wrapping. The plate is open during baling, then closes during wrapping. It all adds up to an extremely reliable wrapping system.
Extra wide wrapping.
The patented CLAAS COVERED wrapping system provides bale coverage right up to the edge, and the CLAAS COVERED XW system even a few centimetres around it – for a neat, professional-looking end result.
360° rotor for ROTO CUT and HD ROTO CUT.
The new 360° rotor, specifically designed for ROTO CUT and HD ROTO CUT, delivers consistently better-shaped bales, particularly when working with a small swath.
Pick-up clutch.
As in the QUADRANT, the shear bolt has been replaced by a pick-up coupling as standard in all pick-ups with roller crop presses. This allows you to utilise the full power and speed of your press without risking possible shear bolt breakage.
Hydraulically lowered PRO cutting floor.
The cutting floor is fitted with an early warning alarm and automatically adjusts to the crop flow. On the rare occasions when a blockage occurs, you can clear it easily from the cab.
VARIANT COMFORT.
The COMFORT option for the VARIANT 485, 465, 480 and 460 greatly increases the level of comfort for the operator. Some key baler functions, such as tailgate opening and closing, are automatically activated and operated.
