The new generation CLAAS PICK UP.
Experience versatility and premium productivity with the newly designed variable speed header drive for PICK UP 380/300. Featuring a variable, independent drive of the pick up reel and intake auger that reduces fuel consumption and improves capacity, the dual variable speed header drive gives you the most out of your jobs and your forage harvester.*
Advantages
- Reduced fuel consumption and improve pick up work capacity
- Unique spiral auger design and stronger flighting for extremely demanding use
- Five-row tines for performance-adjusted crop pick up and up to 8% higher speeds
- Two-roller crop press positioned closer to the intake auger for a smoother crop flow
- Fine-tuned and customized tine and auger speeds depending on crop conditions and preference
*Dual variable speed header drive for PICK UP optional. JAGUAR forage harvester (types 502 or 499 only) must be equipped with dual hydraulics.
Mechanical vs. Variable Speed: What’s the Difference?
For maximum throughput in extreme conditions, the dual variable speed header drive is the ideal solution for pick up work and provides premium in-cab conveniences. The system automatically speeds up or slows down the pickup tines independently with varying ground speeds, as well as manipulate the auger speed for the feed rolls to enable constant, high performance and smoother feeding. This drive is ideal for those who have varying LOC, yield, ground speeds, and windrow sizes.
A mechanical header drive is a mechanically driven header that has a constant pickup reel speed and the auger speed can either be adjusted via different sprockets or the optional 3-speed gearbox. This drive is the perfect companion for those with consistent LOC, ground speeds and windrow sizes.
Reinforced drive.
A newly revised and reinforced drive train provides overload protection of the intake auger for higher operating reliability and three speed adjustment types:
- Standard mechanical
- Optional 3-speed mechanical
- Optional variable speed adjustment
Ground contour following.
Using an angle sensor on the PICK UP head, ACTIVE CONTOUR senses ground irregularities in advance, enabling fast operation over hilly terrain while keeping the rake at the proper distance from the ground.
Optimal accessibility.
The roller crop press is automatically raised hydraulically, making it convenient to search for the presence of metal or rocks. This arrangement also allows wear parts to be replaced easily.
