Feed system

The large-pitch one-piece stub auger with aggressive paddles delivers the crop far down into the rotor. In doing so, the crop flow is effectively evened out and accelerated in its delivery to the rotor, significantly increasing throughput. This unique combination of roller crop press and actively powered, continuous-feed auger makes your work easier, especially when it comes to non-uniform silage swaths.
The QUADRANT produces outstanding results with this enormous intake capacity in large swaths. The crop flow speed increases to an average of 4.7 m/s. You achieve up to 20 percent greater throughput, depending on the crop.

The 25-blade chopping rotor works precisely, quickly and effectively, with helical double tines for a consistently good feed quality. Since the crop is cut short and precisely into small lengths, it can be compacted more densely and later broken up much more easily.

The QUADRANT 3200 with FINE CUT cutting system produces short straw lengths without waste and dust directly in the field. The FINE CUT chopping housing with its 49 blades opens up entirely new dimensions of straw and cutting quality. The increased chopping frequency of over 35,000 cuts increases throughput and also makes the chopping process consistent.

High bale density and perfect crop flow have always been the key QUADRANT baler features in delivering uniformly shaped, rock-hard bales. The proven CLAAS packer tine principle as well as the adjustable pre-chamber ensure that straw, hay and silage are very well prepared when they are sent into the bale chamber. Regardless of the swath and crop conditions you encounter, you can bring everything under control with the hydraulically adjustable pre-chamber control.

In large swaths, the QUADRANT 3200 produces bales without using the pre-chamber. The packer tines perform one raking action and one packing action per piston stroke, with each piston stroke used for compaction. In all other cases, you can activate the hydraulic (and therefore wear-free) packer tine control effortlessly from the cab. Fully adjustable, it produces excellent compaction in all conditions. With the pre-chamber engaged, the harvested crop is collected in a single raking action of the packer tines until the pre-chamber is optimally filled, at which point the crop is forced into the chamber in a single packing action. This produces a perfect bale shape with a consistent density throughout.
