About CLAAS

Clean swaths – high yields.

Swathers by CLAAS.

What do swathers have to do with a high milk yield per hectare? – The key to high-quality grass silage lies in keeping the crude ash content as low as possible, because crude ash impairs silage quality. Heavy contamination with dirt leads to greater energy losses and poorer protein quality of the forage – and thus reduces milk yield.

The crude ash content depends on low contamination with soil during the harvest. CLAAS swathers adapt perfectly to ground contours thanks to the rotor chassis, which is positioned close to the tine orbit. The cardan system with double pivot joint ensures a particularly wide range of movement. This prevents damage to the sward and reduces crop contamination. The jet effect when the rotors are raised and lowered also prevents the tines from digging into the ground. In addition, the double-cranked tines ensure clean crop intake: the crop is pushed upwards along the tines for gentle, dirt-free transport.

CLAAS swathers: all about optimum forage quality.

Our swathers offer a range of intelligent solutions for reliable performance and comfortable working. Innovative features such as the oil-bath lubricated professional rotor drive housing and easily replaceable tine bars make these machines low maintenance and efficient. Their robust design and accessible mechanical power train ensure minimum downtime and maximum productivity.

  • LINER four-rotor swathers: These are the professionals among rotary swathers. With working widths of up to 15.00 m, these four-rotor swathers handle even the largest fields quickly and efficiently, while protecting the soil.

  • LINER dual-rotor swathers with central swathing: Our two-rotor central swather series comprises five basic models with maximum working widths of 6.20 to 10.00 m. The optional hydraulic single rotor lift helps to form particularly clean swaths.

  • LINER dual-rotor swathers with side swathing: The side swather series covers maximum working widths from 3.50 to 8.40 m. Most models are also available in the TWIN version, which gives you the option of placing one large or two smaller swaths.
  • LINER single-rotor swathers: Even farms that harvest their own forage and often work on small fields can benefit from the strengths of CLAAS swathers. The compact LINER single-rotor swathers with working widths of 3.70 to 4.80 m are ideal for these farms.
