Three new disc mower conditioners join the Claas line-up of grassland machinery. Two of the models – the Disco 8700C Plus and the Disco 8850C Plus – are designed for use attached to a self-propelled forage harvester unit and have working widths of 8.3m. Outputs of up to 8ha/hour (20 acres/hour) are claimed. The third new mower is the front-mounted 3m Disco 3050FC. All three mowers are equipped with the Claas Quick Knife Change (QKC) system which, through the use of a spring leaf blade retention system, allows blades to be replaced speedily without the need for tools.
