Proven thousands of times: Center of gravity suspension, ACTIVE FLOAT and non-stop collision protection
The mower beds of the new DISCO high output mowers are suspended on the arms in the center of gravity, which enables optimal ground tracking with maximum ground clearance when lifting. An adjustable spiral spring ensures that the mower touches the ground evenly when lowered, and a vibration damper stabilizes the mower bed when it is raised. The two pivot points of the boom, transverse to the direction of travel, guarantee optimum ground tracking on uneven surfaces.
The hydropneumatic ACTIVE FLOAT relief for less forage contamination and wear, which has been tried and tested for more than 15 years, allows the ground pressure to be adjusted independently of the lifting kinematics from the tractor seat thanks to its own hydraulic circuit and keeps the ground pressure constant regardless of the mower bed position. The set pressure is displayed on a pressure gauge on the headstock.
Both booms are equipped with the unique non-stop collision protection from CLAAS as standard. When it comes into contact with obstacles, the mower bed moves backwards and upwards at the same time due to the 15° inclination of the pivot pin. In the process, oil is pressed from the collision protection into the relief ram, which means that the mower bed is additionally relieved. This provides effective protection against serious damage. Once the obstacle has been passed, the mower bed automatically swings back into its working position due to the oil pressure. The outriggers can be raised individually if required. All you need to do is preselect the "Individual lifting" function on the control unit. Alternatively, a separate oil connection can be supplied for each boom, which allows the individual lift to be integrated into the tractor's headland management.
Exemplary accessibility and easy maintenance
Thanks to the protective covers that fold out wide, excellent access to the mower beds is possible. As with all DISCO disc mowers built after 2022, the caps and mower blades of the anti-clockwise rotating mower discs on the new DISCO high output mowers are also painted red. As a result, replacement blades can be immediately assigned to the appropriate mower discs. The practical blade box is divided into three compartments for red and black replacement blades and used blades.
High-quality washers made of brass or plastic and stainless steel screws on the protective cloths and holders prevent the turning and attachment points from rusting and thus guarantee a long product life and excellent value retention. All greasing points are also clearly and permanently marked with the appropriate intervals.
