Intelligent protection.
Clear layout.
The QUADRANT 4000 is renowned for its simple yet effective design, with each and every facet and component clearly and neatly arranged for ease of accessibility and servicing, ensuring your valuable time is spent baling and not on tiresome maintenance work. The straight driveline operates dependably with low wear and high operational reliability. The robust central transmission unit channels power efficiently to the individual components.
61 powerful ram strokes per minute compact the bales thoroughly and produce excellent throughput in every crop type. During the baling process, the QUADRANT takes load peaks in its stride, thanks to the 170-kg, 2,800-Nm-protected flywheel behind the main drive, giving even and smooth operation. The result is outstanding reliability and more bales per hour, every hour.
Uninterrupted protection.
Superior safety technology ensures fault-free operation. The ingenious drive of the packer tines, needles and knotters via the shafts and transmission offers dependable peak performance. The baler is effectively protected by the main transmission's overload clutch against damage caused by the intake of foreign objects.
Interactive connection.
The cam-type power interrupt clutch on the feed rake reliably prevents the machine from being brought to a standstill by a blockage. When the cam-type power interrupt clutch engages on encountering a blockage at the feed rake, the pick-up shuts down under control via the feed rake transmission. The driver receives a signal via the CLAAS OPERATOR, reduces engine speed, and can then resume operation without having to leave the cab, saving valuable time.
The baling ram is also protected against overload by a safety clutch. All overload clutches automatically reengage after reducing the PTO shaft speed. You'll never need to leave the cab in the event of a blockage.
Special protection.
The feed rake is efficiently and effectively protected by the specially synchronised auxiliary safety clutch to 4,300 Nm and reliably prevents the machine from being brought to a standstill. The torque increase of 26 percent ensures a high level of performance, delivering maximum operating comfort.
Robust connection.
The new riveted front chassis and the similarly riveted centre section afford greater elasticity and higher shear resistance, as on all other QUADRANT balers.
