Accordingly, CLAAS has completely redesigned its CORTO range of robust front and rear mowers. These new drum mowers offer technological innovations which guarantee strong harvesting performance, convenience and durability even in difficult conditions, and will be of particular interest for farming businesses that use their own machinery. Innovations include the ACTIVE FLOAT hydraulic suspension system, adjustable swathing discs and, for the CORTO CONTOUR rear mowers, central pivoting at the centre of gravity.
New front drum mowers
A clean cut and protection of the turf, thanks to three-dimensional ground-contour following
The new CORTO 285 F and 310 F front mowers, with 2.82 m and 3.05 m working widths, respectively, are ideal for standard tasks such as green fodder harvesting using a loader wagon. Their compact and exceptionally robust construction also makes them perfect for challenging operations on hillsides, or in difficult and tall crops. Both mowers feature three-dimensional ground-contour following, ensuring a clean cut and protection of the turf. The system is based on an integrated lateral and longitudinal linkage geometry, allowing the mowing unit to pivot freely. This enables any uneven ground to be covered automatically.
Convenient and practical swath width adjustment
As well as boasting a new design, the new CORTO 285 F and CORTO 310 F models are also exceptionally user-friendly. Changing the swath width has never been easier, thanks to the simplified process for adjusting the swath discs. There is also the option of adding a second swath disc for particularly narrow swaths, such as for tractors with a narrow track width. Both models also feature an improved crop flow. Another new feature is the flexible rubber collision protection, which prevents any major damage should an obstacle be hit.
The CORTO 3200 F, our flagship front drum mower, has also been optimised. It comes with all the new features listed above, as well as a new design and an improved crop flow.
ACTIVE FLOAT protects both the mower and the turf
The ACTIVE FLOAT system, as used in the DISCO range of mowers, is now also available on request for all CORTO front mowers. The ACTIVE FLOAT hydropneumatic suspension transfers the mower weight from the ground to the tractor, and a single-acting spool valve is used for adaptation to the conditions during operation. This protects both the mower and the turf, reduces the amount of dirt entering the unit, lowers fuel consumption and allows operation at a higher speed.
