For every machine model and every application.
Front weights.

CLAAS also offers a comprehensive product range when it comes to proper ballasting. CLAAS offers suitable front weights for every application and machine type. Tractors can be used all year round and for a variety of applications. When it comes to operating effectively and efficiently while preserving the terrain, whether in the field or around the farm, it all comes down to proper ballasting.

With the new DRIVE-IN concept, for example, the front weight can be adjusted easily and in just a few minutes to the current requirements of the tractor. Of course, other types of simple reinforced concrete ballast weights and weights manufactured from the innovative material magnetite are also available.

CLAAS DRIVE-IN front weights.

With the new DRIVE-IN front weight system, quick and adaptive ballasting according to the attached implement is guaranteed.

Thanks to simple, time-saving adaptation of the additional weight through a drive-in/out action, the DRIVE-IN system increases flexibility enormously. Corresponding spring-loaded locking ensures the ballast remains firmly fixed in place. The new DRIVE-IN front weight system has been extensively tested and approved for your safety.

Flexible front weight system for driving in 6 combinations from 800 kg to 1,600 kg
Base body base ballast manufactured from magnetite in sizes 800 kg and 1,000 kg
Adaptive ballast manufactured from cast steel in sizes 400 kg and 600 kg
Integrated coupling
Cat. II

CLAAS magnetite front weights.

CLAAS magnetite front weights not only boast an attractive and modern design, but also offer excellent functionality and quality. Magnetite has a density 2.5 times higher than reinforced concrete, so that high ballast weights can be achieved with smaller volumes.

Monoblock design
Special magnetite material – minimum volume and maximum weight utilisation
Integrated coupling
Cost-effective alternative to cast-iron front weights

CLAAS concrete front weights (New Generation/NG).

CLAAS New Generation concrete front weights are a refinement of the First Generation concrete ballasts.

By adapting the shape, better use of the front lighting has been achieved. Likewise, by repositioning the lower linkage support, weight utilisation has been improved.

Monoblock design
Optimum front axle loading, thanks to shift in centre of gravity
Improved utilisation of the front headlight beam
Integrated coupling
Cost-effective alternative to magnetite and cast-iron front weights

Safety information.

Before attaching implements to the front and rear three-point hitches, always check that the permissible gross weight of the tractor, the permissible loads on the front and rear axles, and the load capacities of the tyres are not exceeded.
The eye bolt on the front ballast weights must only be used for towing the tractor in conjunction with a tow bar and over firm ground.
Before modifying the original ballasting, first ensure that the provisions on attachment have been observed.
The available steering angle and brake capacity of the tractor depend on the weight of the attached implements and ballast weights.
Following a heavy impact on the ballast, the ballast hitch pins or the entire ballast must be replaced for safety reasons.
Check when attaching the front weight for the first time that the lifting arms do not touch the front weight at any point during lifting or lowering.
