Reliability.

With working widths of 30' 5" - 49' 2" (9.30 – 15.00 m), LINER four-rotor swathers form the perfect swath for the harvesting machine following behind.

Quality.

We understand the importance of doing a first-rate job and producing top-quality forage. So we offer not just the widest tires on the market, but the largest choice of tires to boot – not just for the main chassis, but for the rotor chassis too. And there's an optional six-wheel version available for all four swath rotors.

What's more, CLAAS is the only manufacturer to offer the patented fully floating cardan (gimbal) suspension. A dual spring enables quick and simple equalization of the swath rotors to ensure ultra-smooth running – even at higher operating speeds.

“Patented dual springs steady the rotors at high driving speeds. I am really delighted at how smoothly the LINER moves.”

Matthias Buck

Pre-series customer

“The soil is our capital. No other swather currently on the market has such a large contact area, which makes it very gentle on the soil.”

Markus Pfender

Operator for Krumm contractors

Efficiency.

Time is money. So we deliberately opted for a mechanical power train because it is simple, direct and efficient. The friction clutches we use provide outstanding power transmission and 'non-stop overload protection'.

In addition, the patented design with double telescopic function and C-profile makes it incredibly easy to switch rapidly between working and transport position – and the working width can be adjusted from the comfort of the cab.

“Keep going when others have come to a standstill. 50% more power available to the tines than the hydraulic drive.”

Raphael Spieler

LINER test engineer

“Despite its 49' 2" (15 m) width, it can make itself really narrow. And that's with the tine bars left in place!”

Clemens Frick

LINER design engineer

Reliability.

When it comes to the core component of the LINER, we naturally turned to our tried-and-tested rotor drive assembly for professionals. It runs in an oil bath for continuous lubrication to ensure maximum service life.

The main frame is the primary supporting element in the four-rotor swather, like a spinal column in a human. The enormous cross-section, combined with the trapezoidal profile, is designed to absorb forces evenly. The control block, electronics module and hydraulic valves are located on the inside, where they are well protected.

"The large frame with its trapezoidal profile is as tough as they come. It's incredibly robust and solidly constructed."

Uli Biesenberger

CLAAS test bed engineer

“The rotor drive housing runs in an oil bath. This means that the most highly stressed component is continuously lubricated and doesn't require maintenance.”

Comfort.

If you find yourself doing a night shift, you can still keep a close eye on everything. The six optional LED headlamps provide a clear view of the main working areas around the machine.

What's more, the machine is not just intelligently engineered – it also features a range of well-conceived solutions designed to make your job easier. For instance, all hose connections are tidily stowed in a special parking bracket. And the hoses are clearly marked to make it easy to attach them.

"No one wants to waste any time on the field. The hoses are clearly marked and attaching them is child's play."

Linus Kesenheimer

LINER design engineer

"You can only work well if you can see well. LED headlamps illuminate the work area as bright as day.”

LINER assembly supervisor and contract operator
