MAX SPREAD rotor technology.

MAX SPREAD now fitted in all model series.

With the introduction of the MAX SPREAD crop flow system, CLAAS revolutionised tedder technology and redefined the state of the art. MAX SPREAD is now fitted on all VOLTO models, from the largest to the smallest. The unique feature of the system is the tine arms angled 29.3° to the rear.

The benefits of MAX SPREAD at a glance:

Increased raking performance
Gentle forage handling
Clean spead pattern
Higher throughput
Outstanding work quality

MAX SPREAD rotor technology

More uniform distribution, thanks to the tine connection angled to the rear.

The 29.3° trailed connection also has a positive impact on crop delivery. In the same way as the trailed spreading blades of a fertiliser spreader, this configuration ensures a wider and more even distribution of the harvested crop, for an optimal spread pattern. This fertiliser spreader effect is further supported by tine tension release in the direction of the winding, to spread the crop over the entire width.

Layer-by-layer drying, for top-quality results.

To produce high-quality forage, the harvested crop must be dried out evenly. The tines on VOLTO machines are therefore equipped with fingers of equal length. These pick up the crop in layers, and ensure that it is mixed thoroughly. The result is a homogeneous spreading pattern, and rapid drying of the harvested crop.

MAX SPREAD rotor technology.

Tubular arms and spreading angle adjustment.

The highest forces acting during tedding are exerted on the spreader arms. They are therefore made from rounded tubing for high torsion resistance, bolted to the rotor plate, and further stabilised with a support ring with recesses.

To adapt the machine to the harvesting conditions, the spreading angle can be set over a range from 12° to 18° depending on the model. The tines can also be adjusted forwards or backwards by 7°, allowing you to fine-tune your desired spreading pattern.

Tine loss guard for better protection.

To cushion loads, the tines have five windings. The material thickness of 9.5 mm still provides enough rigidity for a clean raking result. To protect animals and following harvesting machinery, each spreader arm is equipped with a tine loss guard. These guards prevent tines from coming away in the event of a breakage, and their trapezoid shape prevents the forage from becoming wrapped around the spreader arm.

PERMALINK drive technology.

A hexagonal shaft effectively transfers the drive force to all rotor gear boxes via PERMALINK couplers. This ensures reliable drive at the folding points to each rotor.

Transmission technology – large series

All VOLTO machines in the large model series come equipped with a hermetically sealed, continuously lubricated rotor transmission. Combined with the PERMALINK finger clutch, the drive system on these tedders is very low-maintenance right up to the drive shaft, and the hermetically sealed design additionally prevents forage contamination from lubricants.

Transmission technology – small series.

The compact class includes our proven gearbox technology. The lightweight structure of these transmission systems is also extremely robust, and designed to operate reliably under the high forces acting on the mechanism.

Power transmission: the PERMALINK finger clutch.

On VOLTO machines, power is transferred via the  PERMALINK finger clutch, which ensures a reliable transfer of power in all operational conditions. The innovative design additionally enables folding movements of up to 180°, allowing retraction to a compact transport position.

The night swathing gearbox.

When working with hay, forming overnight or temporary swaths is often advisable, particularly when harvesting time frames are tight. The hay then absorbs less moisture overnight, and so dries faster the following day. This operation is carried out with the night swathing gearbox, reducing the rotor speed by one third. The harvested crop is formed into several small swaths.

Frame construction.

Clever use of steelwork is also reflected in the frame construction – depending on the model, we use a square tube rotated by 45° or a weight-optimised round profile.

Frame construction.

Box frame for maximum performance and stamina.

Solid box sections give VOLTO machines the endurance they require in the field. These feature a wall thickness of 8.00 mm and are angled at 45° for effective absorption of torsional forces and enduring operational reliability. Furthermore, forces acting on the chassis are absorbed by solid cast-iron joints with a double-shear connection.

Frame construction.

A robust frame with tubular profiles.

To provide the required strength and stability in the field, these machines have a robust chassis, with solid tubular connections between the rotors. This is the basis for the very long service life of VOLTO machines.

Frame construction.

Stabilising CLAAS power suspension.

CLAAS power suspension stabilises the machine centrally behind the tractor. The purpose of this is to ensure safe road travel and prevent the tedder overrunning on bends and slopes.

Frame construction.

Hydraulic power suspension for the VOLTO 1100.

To ensure smooth trailing, the VOLTO 1100 is fitted with a hydraulic, maintenance-free CLAAS power flow damper, which centres the machine during lifting and after negotiating curves, and prevents drifting on slopes.

Frame construction.

Headland lift.

Depending on model, headland lift comes as standard or is available as an option in the VOLTO. Headland lift stabilises the outer rotors to ensure a comfortable ride at the headland.

Folding and transport.

Safe and easy handling on the road.

The intelligent folding mechanism is controlled hydraulically from the comfort of the cab. The arms retract to a compact transport position so that you can transport your tedder safely by road.
