CLAAS DISCO Front Mowers
The DISCO front mower is your partner for maximum flexibility. It glides smoothly and effortlessly over any terrain, so you can harvest faster. Optimum ground-contour following for outstanding crop quality, aiming to extract maximum energy out of forage. Thanks to its 1,000 mm vertical movement range, the DISCO MOVE adapts quickly and efficiently to uneven terrain, even when hitched to tractors with a large front linkage and operated at high ground speeds, for superbly clean forage. The DISCO MOVE is your partner for maximum flexibility. The MAX CUT mower bed ensures an optimal cut.
The DISCO MOVE vs. PROFIL Front Mowers
The DISCO MOVE moves both horizontally and vertically, independently of the tractor linkage, and fully accommodates the mower lift height. The low position of the mower bar pivot point for small bumps in the terrain plus the MOVE linkage geometry for larger surface irregularities ensure flawless adaptation to the terrain – with unique vertical freedom of movement of 1,000 mm. ACTIVE FLOAT hydropneumatic suspension, adjustable while on the move, is fitted in the mounting block as standard equipment.
PROFIL front mowers are simply unbeatable. Combining them with a rear or large-scale mower creates a true dream team of mowing excellence. Even when used on their own, they deliver an outstanding result. The patented PROFIL linkage geometry ensures flawless ground-contour following, on any type of terrain.

Suspension and Speed Reduction
ACTIVE FLOAT enables you to respond quickly and easily to all sorts of different conditions, such as wet spots or dry hillocks, and non-uniform crop material. The mower ground pressure can be flexibly adjusted with a single-acting spool valve even while the machine is working. The current setting can easily be read from a pressure gauge, which is clearly visible from the cab.
All DISCO mowers can be operated at a reduced PTO speed of 850 rpm when conditions allow. This ‘integrated economy PTO’ significantly reduces fuel consumption.
Tine vs. Roller Conditioners
Tine conditioner – Tine conditioners with V-shaped tines in a spiral configuration are ideal for harvesting grass crops. Conditioning intensity is set via a baffle plate. Flexible mounting allows the tines to deflect and pass around any objects that find their way into the conditioner – stones, for example. This avoids repair costs. The mown crop can also be spread over the entire working width with an optional wide crop spreader, or deposited in a single swath with adjustable swathing plates.
Roller conditioner – Leafy crops such as alfalfa call for protective conditioning. The aim is to crush the stalks without destroying the leaves and thus wasting them. This is where the DISCO mower unit with roller conditioner comes into its own. The durable, polyurethane V-shaped interlocking rollers crush the hard stalks while protecting the leaves. The conditioning intensity can be adjusted via a spring-preload mechanism, which also protects the rollers from foreign objects. Adjustable swathing plates allow for variable swath formation.
