MAXFLEX

Legumes such as soybeans grow in pods close to the ground. Thus to prevent substantial losses during
harvesting, the crops must be cut as close as possible to the ground to ensure that every last pod gets picked up by the machine. MAXFLEX cutterbars from CLAAS are equipped with a flexible knife bar which compensates automatically for the slightest ground contours

The knife bar can flex up to 180 mm. The intake auger, reel and knife bar are divided. Together with the cutting angle adjustment on the HP feeder housing, this enables intake losses to be avoided under all field conditions.
These cutterbars are also suited for peas and other specialised crops such as clover.
