Claas includes the experience, gained from more than 250,000 mowers, into the latest generation Disco Contour disc mowers. Also, new features such as a counterweight, double roller drive on the RC models and a steel roller conditioner are introduced. The series ranges from 2.60 to 4.20 meters working width.
For almost 30 years, Claas has produced Disco disc mowers. With the latest generation Disco Contour, a counterweight is available that ensures a more even load on the tractor’s rear wheels, especially with larger working widths and lighter tractors. Particularly on slopes, headlands can be turned much faster and more safely. Depending on the equipment and working width, the right number of individual weights always ensures optimum balance. Parking is possible when folded out and also in transport position with the optional parking device.
On the road, the 120-degree folding enables stable, safe transport without a large swiveling range and allows the operator an almost uninterrupted view to the rear through the rear-view mirror.
More than 7.0 meters working width
At the top of the Disco Contour series is the Disco 4400 Contour, with a working width of 4.2 meters. In addition to its power thanks to the enormous overall working width of 7.0 m in conjunction with a Disco 3200 F Profil or Disco 3200 F Move, the mower is characterized by the diagonal, three-dimensional 120-degree vector folding for vertical, safe and legal road transport below a transport height of 4.0 m and with a minimum swivel range. This makes it a compact alternative to triple mower combinations, especially in larger, flat fields.
Conditioner with tines, polyurethane rollers or steel rollers
For the Disco 3600 RC Contour with roller conditioner, more aggressive steel rollers with double roller drive are now available as an alternative to polyurethane rollers. This is particularly recommended for use in thick-stemmed crops such as sorghum, and can now also be ordered for the Disco 1100 RC Business large-scale mowers and the 3600 F Move and Disco 3200 F Move front mowers with RC roller conditioner. The double drive with scissor gearbox – also available as an option for the RC models with polyurethane rollers – not only transmits higher torques and thus enables a high throughput even with extreme growth rates.
In the Disco 2800 C, 3200 C and 3600 C, the helically arranged, V-shaped tine conditioner ensures efficient conditioning. The conditioning intensity can be adjusted without tools using a conditioning plate. The elastically mounted tines deflect foreign objects such as large stones and thus protect the conditioner shaft and drives from damage.
All Disco Contour conditioner mowers are equipped as standard with infinitely adjustable swathing plates for precise swath formation. As an option, RC models with roller conditioner can be equipped with two telescopic additional swath plates, ideal for particularly narrow swaths such as alfalfa mowing.
Digital assistance with Claas connect and APP applications
All Disco mowers are stored directly in the customer’s Claas connect as part of the machine handover. This gives the customer continuous mobile access to digital operating instructions, the lubricant guide and the Parts Shop for ordering original lubricants, wear and wear parts. This means that users have everything in one. This service is free of charge for Disco customers in Claas connect and is available in both the web version and the app.
Claas connect also offers comprehensive machine and farm management functions that also support forage harvesting. Supported by satellite maps, vegetation monitoring is helpful for forage harvest planning, for example, and harvest maps in the GeoCentre can show the success of the forage harvest.
