Basic Info
The CLAAS QUADRANT series represents high-end self-propelled balers.They integrate a dedicated diesel engine,an operator's cab,and the baling system into a single machine.This design aims to maximize operational efficiency,operator comfort,and adaptability to challenging terrain.It is primarily targeted at large-scale custom operators or super-farms with thousands of hectares of grassland.
Customer reviews
Andrei Ivanov · Professional Straw Recycling Contractor
This round baler is our primary workhorse,processing over ten thousand acres of straw in a single season.Its durability is impressive,with exceptionally reliable knotter performance and minimal twine breakage or downtime.The bales are firm outside yet fluffy inside,ensuring safe transport and ideal conditions for later ensiling,receiving positive feedback from our clients.
Hans Berger · Professional Silage Producer
The baling and wrapping combination machine is revolutionary.Its seamless integration of baling and wrapping increased our single-shift productivity by approximately 40%.The wrapping quality is consistently tight,ensuring optimal silage fermentation and significantly saving labor and time.
Erin Walters · Operations Director,Agricultural Services Company
The self-propelled baler proved its value across 5000 contiguous acres.The hydrostatic drive system reduces headland turning time by 40%,and the intelligent monitoring system displays real-time forage moisture and bale weight data.Most notably,its modular design allows core component replacement in just 2 labor hours,reducing annual maintenance costs by approximately$18,000.
Product Description
Features
The defining feature is the independent power train and full-featured cab,freeing the operator from dependency on a tractor.This typically translates to superior visibility,more comfortable control,and higher working speeds.The powerful onboard engine provides consistent optimal power for baling,independent of tractor performance.An advanced chassis suspension system and four-wheel drive enhance mobility on wet,soft,or sloped ground.A highly integrated electro-hydraulic control system automates much of the baling process.

Specifications
Equipped with a large fuel tank for extended uninterrupted operation.Pickup width can exceed 3 meters to match the working width of large mowers.The bale chamber is of heavy-duty construction to handle very high feed rates and pressure.Options like the"RC"wrapping system allow direct production of silage bales.The cab features multi-function displays for real-time monitoring of machine status,yield mapping,and operating parameters.Maintenance platforms and diagnostic systems are comprehensive.

Applications
Almost exclusive to large agricultural contracting companies and mega-farms.Its extremely high throughput ensures rapid completion of hay harvest on thousands of hectares within short weather windows.The self-propelled design shows clear efficiency advantages on large,contiguous fields.Also used for large-scale harvest of biomass fuel crops(e.g.,switchgrass).The high initial investment is typically offset by very high work rates and precise timing capabilities.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q:What is the core advantage of a self-propelled baler?
A:The core advantage lies in exceptional operational flexibility and efficiency.Its self-propelled design eliminates tractor dependency,allowing for fast,independent relocation between fields,adapting to complex or scattered plots.Equipped with high-power engines and advanced control systems,it maintains consistent bale quality and speed under high-yield conditions.
Q:Does a front-mounted tractor-attached round baler have special requirements for the tractor?
A:Yes.The tractor must have a front Power Take-Off(front PTO)and a compatible three-point hitch front linkage.Additionally,as the front-mounted equipment affects front axle load and visibility,the tractor needs a robust front axle with good load capacity and maneuverability,and the operator must adapt to the altered perspective.
Q:What is the core value of a self-propelled baler?
A:Its core value is operational efficiency and adaptability to complex fields.Freed from tractor constraints,with its own powerful engine and optimized chassis,it enables fast relocation,high-speed baling,and precise control,making it ideal for large custom operators and time-critical harvesting.

Q:Does operating a self-propelled baler require special training?
A:Absolutely.Operators must not only know baling but also be proficient in driving heavy self-propelled machinery,understanding complex electro-hydraulic control systems,and troubleshooting.Specialized training from the manufacturer or dealer is typically necessary for safe and efficient operation.
Q:What should be considered regarding engine power and chassis type when purchasing?
A:Engine power must match bale chamber size and expected work intensity;more power means better capability in tough conditions and stable performance under heavy load.All-wheel drive chassis offers optimal traction and wet field performance,while large flotation tires better protect soil from compaction.
