QUADRANT 5300 EVOLUTION
Look forward to higher throughput.

The new QUADRANT EVOLUTION is designed for very high throughput capacities per hour. Crop flow has been evened out and accelerated, allowing you to work faster and more consistently in the field. Starting with the pick-up, which effortlessly handles even large and uneven swaths. And finishing with perfectly formed, rock-hard bales which are particularly well-compacted at the edges for excellent stability during transportation and storage.

Individual strengths:

46 ram strokes per minute for good throughput and excellent bale density
Hydraulically controlled prechamber for optimal bale weight, depending on crop volume
FINE CUT with 51 knives for outstanding cutting quality
Eccentric needle control
3.85-m-long bale chamber

QUADRANT highlights & news

Introducing the perfect knot.

Proven tying.

For more than three decades, CLAAS has been leading in the square baler segment. The CLAAS loop knotter produces knots that are 20% firmer than those of any double knotter, and as always it works without leaving twine residue.

Economical and safe.

The CLAAS loop knotter produces knots that are 20% firmer
By avoiding twine residue, you save up to 0.5 m twine per bale
The fold-down twine guide makes initial threading even more convenient
The twine brake is quick to adjust and can be matched to the twine without tools
A built-in water tank is provided for convenient hand washing
Automotive seals keep the twine box dust-free

Durable and highly robust.

Reassuring reliability.

The main tube, the tine bar and the two cam tracks are designed for very long runtimes. The rotor and packer clutches communicate with each other. The machine is always 100% synchronised.

The HD piston track rollers run on automatically lubricated ball bearings that last substantially longer and do not need to be replaced
The HD baling pistons with high-quality S700 wear segments are particularly robust
A total of five different HD kits are available for tough special applications in maize straw or sugar cane

How much power would you like?

Convenient and productive.

Relaxed comfort.

The QUADRANT supports you with a high level of comfort in all operations. Work with ease to produce perfectly pressed bales with particularly highly compacted edges for greater transport and storage stability.

Operate the bale ramp and bale ejector conveniently from the driver’s seat (optional)
A PROFICAM is mounted on the bale chamber to provide an uninterrupted view of the bales
The camera image can be displayed either on a separate monitor or via the new CEMIS 700
The 7” CEMIS 700 is intuitive to operate via a touchscreen, keys or a rotary pushbutton
TELEMATICS ON IMPLEMENT (TONI) automatically transfers all key baler data to the cloud

High throughput, thorough work.

Top performance.

The POWER FEEDING SYSTEM (PFS) operates at a 10% higher speed. The pick-up, PFS and rotor speeds are matched to each other. Your advantage: evenly compacted, rock-hard bales with hard edges in any swathing conditions.

The pick-up runs particularly smoothly thanks to cam track control on both sides. The separate protection of the pick-up and PFS boosts performance
The optimised top bale chamber plate ensures rock-hard bales right to the edges
Continuous straight bale chamber plates compact the bales more evenly
The closed bale chamber design guarantees particularly square bales, right through to the edges
FINE CUT technology with 51 knives delivers optimal cutting quality

The finest short straw.

FINE CUT – hardly a stalk longer than 22 mm.

High forage quality with FINE CUT
Good livestock practice: a fine cut for optimum bedding quality
New knife group activation means less maintenance and saves time.

The benefits:

Significantly better crop intake
Reduced waste
Stimulation of rumen action
Increase of overall crop intake
Cuts the time for replacement of food residues and cleaning of feeding stations

A fine cut – for optimum bedding quality.

Clean work for species-appropriate livestock management
Easily mixable, less power required for distribution, does not split apart
Far fewer losses in poultry rearing, as the chickens don't eat the straw
Provides excellent structure in livestock feed
Less time spent mixing in the feed mixer

More cuts per minute.

Optimal silage quality with ROTO CUT.

Top silage quality with optimal lactic acid fermentation, thanks to ROTO CUT
Greater compaction and easier breakdown of the silage
Adjustable knife group activation with the right number of knives for every application
Fewer blockages, thanks to the hydraulic cutting frame

Benefits of ROTO CUT:

Less time spent mixing in the feed mixer
Better forage quality
Less feed residue

Safe and secure: the hydraulic cutting frame.

Thanks to the automatically lowerable floor, blockages can be easily removed from the comfort of the cab. This is a feature that is unique to CLAAS square balers. The hydraulically operated cutting frame is designed to lower in the case of overload and enables the rotor to restart by itself. This feature also allows easy access to the knives.

Tidy knotting with TURBO FAN.

The TURBO FAN system cleans the CLAAS knotters in the QUADRANT 5300, 5200 and 4200 continuously thanks to its powerful airflow at a speed of 140 km/h and its active air distribution. As a result, QUADRANT balers operate reliably even in tough conditions or during long working days.
