2018 CLAAS DIRECT DISC 600

Whether you're intending to use milk ripe plants for high-grade animal feed or as biomass for energy production, this front attachment means you can mow and chop in a single pass.

The plants are mowed with the MAX CUT mower bar which ensures very even stubble thanks to the mowing discs being positioned well forward. The crop is fed straight to the powerful forage harvester by an intake auger with a very large diameter. This model series is notable in particular for its ability to handle very tall plants, such as sorghum, growing to heights of up to 13.1 ft (4.0 m). CLAAS offers side knives for use in severely intertwined crops.
