Claas is touting its latest Disco 1010 Trend/Comfort as the widest mounted mower without a telescopic boom on the market.
In 2021, Claas introduced the unique vector folding system with the Disco 4400 Contour. This feature is now also used in the new 1010 and, with the largest working width of almost 10 metres, this enables safe operation and transport even with light tractors in the 150hp/four-cylinder class.
As an alternative to the Trend version, the 1010 is also available as a Comfort variant with load-sensing hydraulics, ISOBUS operation with Cemis 700, and individual lifting as standard. Thanks to the large working width of 9.7 to 9.9 metres on the Disco 1010, which can be changed by two setting positions on the booms, and the low power requirement of only 150hp, mowing can be carried out more efficiently and with less soil damage than ever before.
This is because a wide working width and low power requirement mean fewer passes and the possibility of using low-weight four-cylinder tractors.
The reduced speed of the Max Cut mower bed, which can be operated with a PTO shaft speed of 850rpm, also has a positive effect on the operating costs, with a diesel saving of up to 20%. The main frame and headstock have been redesigned, with the main gearbox moved slightly to the rear and the angular gearboxes facing the cutter bars being slanted by two degrees. This ensures that the drive shafts work in a straight line, which reduces the noise level and wear.
Bevelled lower link brackets facilitate attachment by guiding the catch hooks/lower links. The mower combination is equipped with colour-coded, non-slip Kennfixx plug-in couplers as standard.
Thanks to vector folding, the 1010 can be driven safely and legally on the road and on narrow tracks. For transport, the outriggers are first moved hydraulically into the 120-degree transport position. They then pivot slightly backwards via a ram combined with the hydraulic non-stop collision safety device and are automatically locked hydraulically. Due to the double slanted position, the mower combination remains below four-metre transport height but at the same time, lies diagonally behind the tractor on the headstock and thus shifts the centre of gravity to the tractor’s longitudinal axis.
