PICK UP 4500 / 3800 / 3000.

Maximum performance.
 

The new PICK UP series dispenses with chain drives completely. Even the tine bars are controlled by a cam track mechanism. In addition, maintenance tasks can be performed easily: the new plastic tine scrapers are secured by a click-lock system and only a single bolt has to be undone in order to remove them.

The new PICK UP series allows the full engine output of the JAGUAR 1000 to be applied to delivering harvesting performance, enabling sustained higher throughput. The extremely reliable drive train is built to operate at up to 1,110 hp.

The pick-up reel is driven hydraulically. The independent adjustment of the reel speed to the ground speed enables an appropriate crop feed to the intake auger.

Automatic speed adjustment of the intake auger is performed in accordance with the set length of cut and, from 5 km/h, also in proportion to the ground speed. The consistent crop transfer to the pre-compression rollers ensures a perfect crop flow and optimum use of the capacity of the JAGUAR.

The PICK UP series with the 4500, 3800 and 3000 models has a high-performance pick-up reel with five rows of tines and a cam track mechanism for particularly clean crop collection. The guide wheels, which can be adjusted without tools, are fitted at the same height as the pick-up reel.

The double roller crop press and the large auger diameter provide the basis for excellent crop flow. The speeds of the pick-up reel and the intake auger are automatically varied independently of each other on the basis of the length of cut setting and the ground speed. Hydraulic pre-compression by the intake auger in the PICK UP enables an ideal crop feed to the pre-compression rollers. This, in turn, results in an even crop flow and optimum chop quality.

Clean crop collection is ensured by the proven ACTIVE CONTOUR system. This active height control responds rapidly and reliably to control inputs from potentiometers to maintain the pick-up reel at the correct distance from the ground. ACTIVE CONTOUR with its flexibly mounted pick-up reel sets the standard for ground adaptation and avoids forage contamination, even in difficult conditions such as rough or hilly terrain.

The new reel for the PICK UP models 4500, 3800 and 3000 with five rows of tines and a wear-free cam track mechanism is designed for the clean collection of large crop volumes.

The CLAAS CAM PILOT takes control of the task of steering during the swath pick-up process – therefore making it possible to attain working speeds of up to 15 km/h without fatiguing the operator. What's more, the operator can concentrate on filling the transport vehicle for a loss-free harvest.

The CLAAS CAM PILOT detects the swaths in three dimensions and applies the appropriate steering correction automatically. The CAM PILOT is activated via the control lever and deactivated simply by manual steering intervention.
