CLAAS VOLTO Tedder

Thanks to the trailed tine connection in the MAX SPREAD crop flow concept, the tines are always positioned in or crosswise to the direction of travel as the crop is taken up. In conventional designs, the tines operate opposed to the direction of travel after just half of the pick-up area, thus limiting the forward speed.

In the MAX SPREAD crop flow system, the tines operate for 33 percent longer in or crosswise to the direction of travel. So MAX SPREAD enables you to work significantly faster, or with a lower engine speed.

Since the tines are always positioned at right angles to the crop during pick-up, they can deflect to the rear in the direction of the tine winding. This offers the advantage over conventional systems that the crop flow between the rotors is almost perfectly linear.

This creates more space for the crop transfer and ensures enhanced throughput and exceptionally gentle handling of the forage. The MAX SPREAD concept therefore also allows the tedding of leafy crop types such as lucerne at reduced engine speeds.

The 29.3° trailed connection also has a positive impact on crop delivery. In the same way as the trailed spreading blades of a fertiliser spreader, this configuration ensures a wider and more even distribution of the harvested crop, for an optimal spread pattern. This spreader effect is further supported by tine tension release in the direction of the winding, to spread the crop over the entire width.

On VOLTO machines, the PERMALINK finger clutch ensures reliable transfer of power in all operational conditions. The innovative design additionally enables folding movements of up to 180°, allowing retraction to a compact transport position.
