Compact on the road, flexible and powerful in the field
CLAAS has introduced a new rake, the LINER 3600 which, whilst it has a working width of 9.90m up to 12.50m, is designed so that it is compact to transport down the road.
The LINER 3600, which succeeds the LINER 3500, uses well tried-and-tested components from the rest of the LINER range, including the continuously lubricated and hermetically sealed cam track. Each of the tine arms has four dual tines each, which are secured using the PROFIX quick-change system.
For accurate ground following and to avoid crop contamination, each rotor is equipped with a large four-wheel chassis. In addition, the contour wheels are positioned extremely close to the tines, so that the rotor can accurately follow ground contours.
The LINER 3600 is controlled using the new OPERATROR control terminal or the COMMUNICATOR II. Using these terminals, the delay between the front and rear rotors lifting or lowering can be easily set, and the LINER 3600 also has an optional Load Sensing system. In addition, the LINER 3600 can be controlled using the ISOBUS cable via an ISOBUS-compatible control terminal.
Between fields, the LINER 3600 can be safely transported down the road without removing the tine arms and has a transport height of less than 4.00m. However, if necessary the new design of running gear enables the transport height or ground clearance to be simply adjusted whilst on the move, without needing to the use the control terminal. The new running gear also makes it possible to fit large-volume, ground-protecting 620/40 R22.5 tyres and still keep the machine within 3.00m for transport.
While its low centre of gravity ensures that the new LINER 3600 can be quickly and safely transported on the road, this also has the advantage of ensuring that it is also safe to use on hills.
