When it comes to combine header selection, the choice has just got a whole lot wider – literally.
After much speculation about its arrival, Claas has unveiled a 10.5m (35ft) version of its Vario cutterbar which has a split reel and auger with a support bearings at the centre.
Essentially developed to match the claimed 100t/hour capacity of the firm’s Lexion 600 combines, the big header has an extending table to vary knife to auger clearance in tall crops like other Vario cutterbars.
