Pick-up – maximum intake capacity.
Thorough crop clearance.
With its wide pick-up, the QUADRANT 4000 is designed for enormous intake capacities. Guide wheels ensure the pick-up follows the ground contour with razor-sharp precision. The pick-up crop guard ensures the crop enters the machine cleanly and is transported to the feed rake efficiently when working in short-cut crops. The wide-angle drive shaft provides smooth running and effective power transfer.
The QUADRANT 4000 performs consistently, even in small fields and when the swath is not straight, giving you meticulous field clearance and a clean crop every time.
Perfect quality every time.
The pick-up, which has a working width of 2.00 metres, is the key to performance and reliability. CLAAS engineers have devoted particular attention to developing a pick-up of outstanding quality and function. Four rows of tines, perfectly spaced for thorough raking, guarantee superior results in the field. The twin spring steel tines are bolted firmly to four rugged U-shaped tine arms to withstand continuous and extreme loading and provide easy servicing. Stub augers on either side of the wide pick-up mechanism funnel the crop to the appropriate width for entering the baling chamber, producing firm bales highly compacted at the edges for excellent stability during transportation and storage.
Perfect suspension.
Shock absorbers and suspension springs prevent the pick-up from bouncing, even when travelling over undulating terrain at speed.
Feed rake – dust-free without cutting.
Maximum forage protection.
The packer tines convey the harvested crop towards the baling chamber at a rate of 122 packer tine strokes per minute. The typical two-phase CLAAS-style feed rake with five tines is located directly behind the pick-up and, thanks to the short channel, ensures maximum forage protection in hay and leafy crops such as alfalfa. The harvested crop is conveyed vertically and without twisting. Despite the high baling density, optimal aeration of the bale is achieved, thanks to the homogeneous structure of the thin slices produced.
Maximum forage quality.
When it comes to horse keeping, especially high forage quality is required. Preservation of the leafy protein-containing mass is essential, and is achieved in the gentle baling process of the QUADRANT 4000. Also important – the forage stays virtually dust-free, thanks to gentle handling.
