Agritechnica 2025 Gold medal winners

Line Traction

Müller Landmaschinen
Joint development with Aebi & Co.

The completely new ‘Line Traction’ drive concept developed by Müller Landmaschinen and Aebi & Co. AG Maschinenfabrik replaces the previously usual longitudinal and transverse differentials with a hydrostatic system in the planetary final drives. For the first time, this enables each wheel to be driven at the correct speed when cornering, which vastly improves traction and significantly increases safety at the critical limits.

Overall concept of a 70 t big baler

The concept of a 70 t big baler that has been completely redeveloped by Claas is designed for a combination of high throughputs with constantly high bale densities and secure binding, and establishes entirely new performance dimensions for this machine type.
