CLAAS LINER Dual-Rotor Central Rake

The BUSINESS model comes with hydraulic ACTIVE FLOAT rotor suspension and a CEMIS 10 terminal, which handles preselection control for individual lifting of the rotors. In the TREND version the LINER is mechanically sprung suspended and operated directly via the tractor spool valves.

The swathing transmission is located in a rugged cast housing (rotor drive assembly) which is filled with oil and hermetically sealed. So the core component of the LINER is protected from dirt ingress and thus maintenance-free. The cam roller bearings and all moving parts run smoothly in an oil bath, with virtually no friction.

The drive train of the LINER is externally mounted and easily accessible. An auxiliary gearbox with an intelligent gear ratio transfers power to the rotors. This guarantees optimal rotational speed and minimum fuel consumption. Depending on the model, an overrun function as standard and the individual rotor lock ensure maximum reliability. The LINER is an incredibly low-maintenance machine, with a 250-hour lubrication interval for the universal joints of the drive shafts, and a 50-hour interval for the tractor drive shaft.

During lifting, the front section of the rotor is raised first and during lowering, the rear chassis wheels touch down before the front wheels. This prevents the tines from digging into the soil and keeps the harvested crop clean.
