CLAAS has introduced two new ranges of rear mower that feature a centre-of-gravity side-mounted system. The ranges, the DISCO 10 and DISCO 100, comprise seven brand-new models that cover working widths of 2,2m to 3,4m.
A new feature for all side-mounted DISCO disc mowers is a centre-of-gravity hitching system, which ensures that the mower bed maintains uniform contact pressure over the entire working width.
DISCO 10 SERIES
In the entry-level segment, CLAAS offers three new models in the DISCO 10 series: the DISCO 32, 28 and 24 side-mounted mowers with working widths of 3m, 2,6m and 2,2m respectively, each with the MAX CUT mower bed.
According to CLAAS, a unique feature of the MAX CUT mower bed is that it is constructed of two pieces of bolted, pressed steel plates, providing higher torsional strength with less risk of cracking caused by welding heat stresses.
