DIRECT DISC direct cutterbars

DIRECT DISC direct cutterbar

For top harvesting performance.

Optimise your harvest with the DIRECT DISC direct cutterbar for the JAGUAR forage harvester. The technology of the DIRECT DISC with the MAX CUT mower bar enables precise cutting and optimal preparation of the harvested material for the chopper. With its wide range of possibilities for adjustment, such as the height-adjustable paddle roller and the optionally hydraulically adjustable crop press bars, the DIRECT DISC direct cutterbar offers a high degree of flexibility in order to respond to the many different challenges encountered during harvesting.

The direct cutterbar is available in two versions. The DIRECT DISC 600 / 500 is particularly suited to high crop heights. The 600 P / 500 P version is best suited to medium to low crop heights.

Advantages of the DIRECT DISC direct cutterbar:

  • Side knives

  • Can be engaged at full load: delayed activation under load is possible

  • Three-speed gearbox: adaptable to harvest conditions of lengths of cut

  • MAX CUT mower bar: equipped with quick knife change system and SAFETY LINK for safe mowing, even in short crop heights

  • Paddle roller and intake auger (for 600 P / 500 P): ensure an optimal crop flow when harvesting low crop heights

  • Gentle harvesting: roller crop press (for 600 / 500) feeds the crop gently and evenly to the forager

  • Large intake auger: provides high throughput for very high crop heights

  • Mechanical ground contour adaptation: lateral compensation and ground pressure control for excellent work quality

Innovative cutting technology for top quality.

The DIRECT DISC direct cutterbar owes its high throughput to a large intake auger. This is a particularly decisive advantage when harvesting tall crops such as sorghum which can reach a height of up to 4 m. The intake auger, combined with the powerful crop flow system, ensures that the harvested material is transported smoothly to the forage harvester, even under the most challenging conditions.

Adaptation to extremely varied field conditions.

Complementing the crop flow system, the delayed activation of the mowing units allows the DIRECT DISC direct cutterbar to be switched on at full load, thereby further enhancing efficiency. The three-speed gearbox optimises the crop flow for the prevailing harvesting conditions and the required length of cut. The externally driven MAX CUT mower bars with the quick knife change system and SAFETY LINK modules ensure safe and neat mowing.

Always a cut above, even on uneven ground.

The optimal ground contour adaptation enabled by the mechanical lateral compensation and ground pressure control ensures that the DIRECT DISC direct cutterbar always delivers neat and consistent work quality. Adaptation to the ground prevents the crop from being contaminated by being cut too low and keeps harvest losses to a minimum by ensuring that the entire crop is gathered and transported to the chopper.

High performance, even in dense crop growth.

For special challenges, such as severely intertwined crops, CLAAS offers side knives which ensure that the crop is cut and gathered cleanly. This flexibility makes the DIRECT DISC direct cutterbar a versatile solution for an extremely wide range of crops and conditions.

Fast, easy transport of direct cutterbar.

The DIRECT DISC direct cutterbar is notable not only for its high performance, but also for its user-friendliness and the ease with which it can be transported. The front attachment can be carried safely and quickly to the job site using the practical transport trailer. This ability to keep transfer times between jobs as short as possible is particularly important when you need to achieve a high area output and when operating on farms with small fields which are far apart.

Maximum efficiency with JAGUAR forage harvesters.

The powerful duo formed in combination with the JAGUAR forage harvesters delivers top performance and productivity in the field. User-friendliness, the ability to switch on the direct cutterbar even at full load and the ideal ground-contour adaptation enabled by mechanical lateral compensation and ground pressure control make the DIRECT DISC direct cutterbar a premium front attachment.
