Perfectly coordinated. Forage harvesting from CLAAS.

523012000511_C_AN_DC_0712.indd 2 01.08.2012 10:18:54

For daily grassland-based operations, you need more than just robust operational machinery; you need technology that works and that 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.

CLAAS in-line bar.

The DISCO 290, 250 and 210 are equipped with the tried-and-tested CLAAS in-line mower bar, which enables you to achieve working widths of 2.85, 2.45 and 2.10 metres, depending on the model.

The mower bar housing, manufactured from high-grade steel, lends the bar its solid, robust characteristics. Extra-large toothed gears and robust ball bearings ensure a long service life and high functional reliability.

The indentation on the underside of the bar enables dirt and other contamination to empty out to the rear. The bar is also brush-cleaned by the stubble left behind. This helps avoid crop contamination, resulting in a high forage quality.

Professional mowing technology for small tractors.

Weight relief.

The stress exerted against the two halves of the mower bar on the DISCO 290, 250 and 210 is absorbed by one of two coil springs. The ground pressure is spread evenly over the full cutting width by counterbalancing the mower with the dual spring arrangement. This enables consistent and continuous mower bar suspension for optimal ground-contour following in challenging harvesting conditions, which reduces frictional resistance, protects the grass cover and ensures a clean and consistent cut.

A clean and consistent cut.

The broad overlap of the cutting discs ensures a clean and consistent chop quality. Together with the high conveying power of the mowing discs, the grass is deposited cleanly in a single swath.

Swath former.

The DISCO 290, 250 and 210 are equipped with a swath former, which creates a track for the vehicle between the standing crop and the mown grass. This enables clean parallel tracking over the mown swaths to prevent forage contamination. An additional swathing plate is optionally available.

Reliable V-belt drive.

The elastic drive belt transfers the drive force evenly and without load peaks, so protecting the tractor and mower unit.

A question of technology.

Convenient single-lever mechanism.

With just one control lever, the mowing unit can be raised at the headlands or swung into transport position without having to use the three-point hydraulic linkage or modify basic settings. The mowing unit is lowered to the ground evenly over its full width via the horizontal parallel lifting function. The ground pressure when mowing always remains even, and the cut clean.

Collision protection.

Overload protection responds immediately upon collision with an obstacle. To continue driving, the vehicle need only be reversed a short distance for mowing to resume. The mower bar is thus protected at all times.

Wear skids / high-cut skids.

For high acreages, or on sandy or stony ground, wear skids protect the mower bar and increase its service life.High-cut skids can be used to increase the chop height of the mowing unit by a further 30 mm. This enables the mowing unit to be quickly adapted to varied crop types and soil conditions.

Simple and convenient.

Transport lock.

The mowing unit can be folded up for transport via a single-acting cylinder. A mechanical lock is also provided to secure the unit in place during transport. This ensures that the unit is held firmly in place should a hydraulic line rupture. The fulcrum is located well inside the machine for a minimum transport width.

Three-point mounting.

The lower link pins are fully adjustable for adjustment to the track width of the tractor, enabling you to fully exploit the chop width at all times. The open, inverted U-frame mounting also guarantees best possible freedom of movement of the drive shaft.

Maintenance made easy.

The wide-opening protective covers enable easy access to all maintenance points.

Replacement of drive components.

The drive system's components can be replaced in no time at all if necessary for maintenance and repair.

V-belt tensioning.

You can see if the belt needs tightening by looking at the mark opposite the belt. If necessary, subsequent tightening is possible via a hexagonal bolt.

Integrated tool box.

An integrated tool box offers ample space for all the materials and items you need in the field, such as knife blades and spanners, for instance.

DISCO 210 RC

Leafy crops such as alfalfa present particular challenges to a mower. With the DISCO 210 RC with roller conditioner, CLAAS offers gentle conditioning of sensitive crops.

The DISCO 210 RC is equipped with dual spirally meshed rubber rollers, which crush the hard stalks and protect the sensitive, nutrient-rich leaves.

Adjustment.

The rollers are protected against foreign objects by a spring. The tension and the spacing between the rollers can be adapted to the harvesting conditions. The swath plates can be adjusted without the use of tools for a clean and well-delineated swath.
