2024 CLAAS Liner Center Delivery 3100 TREND

The CLAAS name stands for professional equipment, from the smallest LINER model to the largest. Equipped with sealed, continuously lubricated rotor housings all CLAAS rakes form clean windrows, with unparalleled terrain following and industry best durability.

Forget the ropy and dirty windrows of a bar or wheel rake when using a LINER TREND center delivery rotary rake. Benefit from tall, fluffy windrows that dry evenly and bale faster without the risk of plugging. Each rotor adapts to ground contour independently of the frame, eliminating rake tooth damage from gouging. Whether working with silage, hay, or straw, the LINER dual rotor rake offers flexibility along with high throughput for simply consistent windrows.

A short transport height of 13 feet 2 inches (4 m) is achieved without removing tine arms (except for LINER 3100 TREND, not shown). This allows the operator to stay in the cab to be quick and efficient between fields. With three tine arms removed, the machine does become considerably shorter to fit in tight spaces during the storage season.

On LINER 2800, 2900, and 3100 TREND, rotors ride on a slotted beam (shown) that allows infinitely adjustable working and swath widths. Moved simultaneously using the tractor's double-acting spool valve makes fine-tuning possible while moving through the field. The LINER 2700 TREND working width is set by selecting one of four limit bolt positions (not shown). The working width of the LINER 2600 TREND is adjusted manually.

The tried and true mechanical rotor driveline uses straight drivelines to get power to the rotors. A gear differential in the Y-gearbox allows the tractor PTO to be operated at low speeds, reducing fuel consumption. This spins rotors slowly to retain valuable leaves on legumes like alfalfa while having the torque to flip windrows of heavy grasses. Each rotor is protected individually by a friction clutch for non-stop maintenance of driveline integrity.
